If you want your music pieces to sound great, youll need an excellent quality microphone - 100-150 $ should do. As for the software, Audacity is great for editing and plus, its FREE!

Well there are two parts to that...\n\nFirst: you need to record the sounds (i.e. your dictation) you can do that with the audio recorder that is part of windows or any of many freeware, shareware or commercial software... For voice nearly any thing will work. \n\nSecond you need to tranfer the audio file to a CD... this is where it gets tricky... how do you want to use the CD...  If you want to play the file on a CD player you will need to encode it as a CD... The newer versions of Windows Media Player can do that or you could find a find freeware, shareware or commercial software (there are dozens out there)\n\nIf playing the audio on a computer is okay all you need is cd-r (writer) drive and softwar to drive it the Drag and Drop cd writer that come with Windows XP should or you could get other software to do it...\n\nTo define the exact process I would need to know more detail about what you want to do and what hardware and software you have to work with...\n\nEnder

Since you have a computer. Any low-to-midrange Casio or similar brand will do. Use your computer to record it. That way you just need to find one that has a midi interface.\n\nIf you really want to learn, you want to make sure it has good sized keys, not the small keys that are hard to play.

Try e-bay. There are people selling CD's of written music and things out of copyright. \nLibraries have sale of such books. I might have some programs examples on CD's. LabView may offer a student version, or their trial version.\nIDL from RSI, Maple, Mathematica offer student versions with online tutorial, examples, help.

you'd need a music software program installed on your computer.. your computer has got to have a good sound card a fast processor and lots of space... hardware wise you'd need a mixer which you would connect your instrument to and then it feed it into the computer at a better quality and you would also need to know how to work the software..such as to record midi devices, record vocals etc.... you'll also have to know about music leveling and tune adjustments...good luck..

If you have old casset tapes lying around and want to convert them into cds then first you need to buy a cable at your local best buy or whatever. It should have 2 identical ends that are like a headphone cord. One plugs into a tapeplayer that you will need to get and the other end plugs into your microphone port. Then you run Audacity, push record in the Audacity UI and then push the play button on your tape player. You can stop it after ever song and restart or you can just let it go (my prefered method) while you are in the other room watching tv. And then use the cut and paste feature to split the songs up, and then you can do some fine tuning. (Fade ins and fade outs if u want, but out dead time, and the static reduction) Export as .wav or .mp3 if you downloaded the lame mp3 encoder (also free and u might as well get that too) Then use your favorite burning software, and you have just converted a tape to a cd for the cost of a blank cd (like $.25) and about $4 for the cord. If I understand the laws right, it is also a legal copy since you own the tape.\n\n\n<audacity.sourceforge.net>  to download audaicty\n\n\nBy the way, it doesn't really matter what you export the files as, if you are making an audio cd (one that can be played on pcs, in your car, dvd players, and all that stuff) the burning process converts whatever your file starts as (.mp3,.wav) to .cda\n\nIf you are making a data disk (can only be played on pcs and some dvd players) then .mp3 is the way to go because you can put about 200 or so on a disk where only like 10-15 .wav would fit

The first and foremost thing to do is download the music file on to your hard drive. Once you have the file, burn it to a cd using cd-burning softwares like Nero or Roxio CD burner.

First you have to have the music ripped from the CD onto your computer.  (Mandatory disclaimer to keep the music police happy: Ripping music to your computer and e-mailing it may be a violation of copyright law)  Windows Media Players can be used to rip music to your computer.\n\nOnce there, the music becomes a file.  Simply attach that file to an e-mail the same as you would any other file.

You will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard, conversion software, CD writer. Yep that’s about it, oh yeah and a lot of time…..\nNote: if you are using a laptop, you may need a USB external soundcard (mine has only a mono mic input – not good enough!) – you can get cheap, simple but effective ones (from Hong Kong) via ebay…\nYou could get someone to do it for you, friends of mine at: www.cassette2cd.co.uk for one. There are plenty to choose from out on the web, this type of job is perfect for a 'virtual' studio.\nThe software is probably the thing you really want to know about.. you will find loads out there. Personally I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab – primarily for lifting vinyl, but will take any analogue signal. It has loads of features including cleaning filters, effects and editing… it’s cheap too and even comes with a stereo cable – try ebay. There are loads more, some even free downloads – listen to folks who have used the software then have a go….\nOh yeah, and Magix has automatic track recognition based on silence between tracks and auto-stop recording so you can go out for the day and it will stop at the end of your tape – really useful!! You will use up loads of hard-drive space, so don’t try this if you are pushed for space…You may need to purge the huge files every so often (10MB per minute WAV files, 1MB per minute MP3). You could save some space recording directly into MP3 at the sacrifice of a little sound quality.\nOne last thing, track recognintion works great for CDs in WAV format (for playing in a standard CD player), I don't think it applies to MP3s though as each MP3 file would need to be separated into individual tracks - This is how Magix software treats it anyhow.\nHope this helps

You will have use "Create Data CD" option when you start to create your "media" CD. The music you copy cannot be CD tracks if they need to co-exist on a media dist with other files (pictures, etc) Music in MP3 or MIDI format for example can co-exist with pictures or any other data files.

You can use any music software, like Windows Media Player (comes with Windows), Winamp, or Musicmatch. If u insert ur cd and open it with Windows Media Player, u can click on the "Rip" tab and select tracks to copy to ur computer.

you can get a program called Asolute Recorder - it will record off your pc and save as mp3 or wav file.  There should be a free version available, you can do a search for it.

You have to upload the music, then the PC should hopefully ask you if you woukd want to save it to your computer! Choose a suitable folder so that you can remember where you have saved it.\n\nIf you are uploading it from a CD and it doesn't work then you should go to My Computer then click on the CD and the files which are on the CD should be there. Right click it and copy it to a suitable folder.\n\nBut, If you may be uploading it from an MP3 player then  you should go to start: My Computer, then click on the name of the device you are uploading the songs on. Right click and copy the files to a folder an then you can play the music which is on ur comp!\n\nIts quite simple after you get the hang of it.
