Q:  How do I convert ORC files to a compatible file for CD audio recording 
    (ie using the NERO software). Currently I have my children songs in an 
    ORC format and need to burn them on an audio CD for Granny to play them 
    on her CD player?


A:  In order to record the MIDI and audio playing back in Recording Station 
    as a wave file (which you could then burn onto a CD), you would need to 
    also have wave recording software, such as AudioSurgeon installed on 
    your computer. You can purchase AudioSurgeon for just $29.95 on our 
    website, http://www.voyetra-turtle-beach.com.

    Then you just have the select the appropriate recording source and that
    differs depending on the type of soundcard you have.


    Selecting a recording source:
    -----------------------------

    * Click on Start>Programs>Accessories>Multimedia (or Entertainment 
      in Win98)>Volume Control

    * In the upper left click on Options/Properties
      Be sure you are set to Playback and check all boxes in the white 
      section at the bottom

    * Do NOT click OK yet.

    * Switch to recording by clicking the Recording radio button

    * Check the all the boxes in the white section below for this setting 
      as well

    * Now click OK

    * In this recording volume control, be sure the source (it might say 
      MIDI, mixed output, stereo mix, etc.) you are trying to record from 
      is selected (not muted) and the volume is up

    Recording in AudioSurgeon:
    -------------------------- 

    In AudioSurgeon, you can just click on File>New and select 'CD Quality'
    which is under 'Named.' You can then record by pressing the red recording
    button. Once it is recording, you can then start your song playing in 
    Recording Station.

    Once you have your song recorded as a wave file, you can then burn this 
    wave file onto a CD using AudioSurgeon or other CD burning software.
