Just wondering. Is there any software you can use to record yourself then burn them onto a CD. I have a audition coming up and we have to send in a CD. I know it might sound stupid but all the other auditions i did was live.

Please help.

Have a look at this thread:-

I had only been recording through a minidisc, but when I read that thread I learned that you can do it with a microphone through Windows.

Good luck with the audition

If you want a general purpose software that you can record into and use the same software to burn the recordings onto CD i would advise pyro. This is a cheap piece of software by cakewalk that you can download for about £20.

I have never used it but it has good reviews. I would definitely recommend cakewalk products as I use Sonar 5 (their professional recording software) and it is truly awesome!

I use Audacity, it is free and is excellent

ive never used it. I may download it at some point and have a look.

Can you burn to CD using it??

I'm afraid I am not sure on that but you can easily make mp3s and thus burn it using something like Windows Media Player

yeh - i use media player for recording to CD because it automatically converts files into the correct format - it saves encoding wave files into something that nero can use properly!

ughh! I can't open audacity. I've downloaded it and but my laptop won't open it. It always says CPU encountered a illegal instruction. It's so annoying.

It shouldn't say that

Agreed. I downloaded version 1.2.4 and it's been trouble-free. I had to set "preferences" to make stereo recordings.

I haven't yet used a mike with it but done several recordings from tapes. I can't come to terms with its reverb and a minor annoyance is the inability to monitor during recording. It's excellent and no-fuss for editing.

I found the whole recording-on-pc issue awkward. Making adjustments on the fly with no monitoring is a bit hit-and-miss - okay when you can do a preliminary try-out but not on for an unrepeatable live event.

I can drag wave files into the Nero window and make it burn them as a standard CD, no problem - it will convert for you.

Can you recording yourself using window media player? I'll try and download the audacity from another computer, maybe it's not opening because of my computer.

I don't think you can

My mp3 player has a built in voice recorder, and then I can plug it in my PC and copy it across however I like using Windows Media Player

Good luck with the audition
