Burn Your Own Audio-CD
You can burn your Band-in-a-Box composition directly to an audio CD that will play in any standard CD player.
To burn your CD:
Press the [.WAV] button to open the Render to Audio File window. Then press the [Burn to Audio
CD] button. This renders the file to a stereo wave file, and then launches MiniBurn, the built-in CD
burner application in Band-in-a-Box. The song just rendered will be listed in the burn list.
You can add other files to the list to make up a full CD, or choose [Burn CD
–
No Finalize] to allow other files to be burned to the CD later. The CD will
not be playable until finalized.
Note: This feature requires that you have a CD-R or CD-RW drive. If your drive is not recognized by MiniBurn then you
should burn the rendered .WAV file to CD using the software supplied with the CD drive.
