Bandcamp vs. GarageBand

Honestly, switching to Garage Band from Audacity for my podcast was a game-changer in the editing. I can do it so much faster with the tools that are available in editing--especially when you are dealing with more than one track to edit. I also think Garage Band could be fantastic for recording a whole album initially before sending it to be mastered elsewhere. And I think Garage Band could be perfect for sync music licensing because it's still relatively easy to use!

• Easy and simple interface that can be used by anyone.
• The visual audio levels are great and help to clean out all the impurities in an audio.
• Comes freely built in with all Mac computers, which are widely used.
• Very user-friendly and intuitive at the same time.
• GarageBand can be self-taught with no experience.

• Can't save the preferences for the tracks such as turning off reverb etc.
• Project files are large, a 30-minute podcast episode with only 4 tracks is typically around 1 GB
• Auto feature to silence guest not talking
• Optimize for podcasters (I use the old version 6 as new versions hasn't had podcast options)

I have never tried it. It's just simple, and you should be able to navigate most of it via self-exploration and Apple Help.

I have used Adobe Audition before but found it to be hard to learn. Some of the features were very nice but too much for what I needed to justify the price. GarageBand is perfect for my needs and it came free with my Mac laptop. That is the best deal in town!
