Working With Audacity

If you choose to work with Audacity, it is very similar to garage band. The same concept of recording audio and encoding it is present. When recording with Audacity, after you have recorded your audio and are ready to finish, choose File: Encode as WAV.



This will save the audio recorded to the computer as a .wav file.



After you are finished with this, you can find the file (probably on desktop) and play it within iTunes or Quicktime. If needed, you can drop this file into garage band and work with it there, too.
