While making a Photo Booth video, you may find that you want to retrieve just the audio portion of your recording for another use. Thankfully, Apple has bundled such a capacity into its operating system. Garage Band, the home audio program, can be used to save the audio, which can then be sent to friends via email, or put into another type of project, like an iMovie.
