I'm from the CHi too brother.

You can either get a multitracker with cd burning capabilities,

or get some kind of recording software like Pro Tools, Cooledit (adobe audition), or Soundforge and mix the file down to a wave and burn it to cd. If you choose this route youd better get a good soundcard geared towards music recording or a USB/Firewire device.

Soundcards go from $150 to $1000+, depending on how many inputs you need, brand and quality of AD converters etc.

Don't take this the wrong way, but could you please not write in all caps? It looks like you're screaming the entire time and makes your posts harder to read.

The number of channels depends on the number of sources that you would like to record simultaneously. If you dont mind having to play and replay your beats in order to record the tracks, you can get by with less. If you want to record as many tracks as possible in less takes, get a multitracker or recording device with as many inputs as you can afford. I have an mbox which only has 2 inputs, meaning that I'm limited to recording two tracks at the same time. I record 2, then the next 2, then the next 2, and so on.

You might want to peep the online music vendors or your local music store for prices. Here are a few

good looking fam hey checkit does your multitracker have cd-buning abilities?

The mbox is a multitrack soundcard and software for your computer, if your computer has a cd burner then you are straight.

Hmmm.. technically it's not really a sound card. More of an audio interface :wink:
