mp3 conversion possible?

2013-04-06 12:08 pm

Hey, I just started using NoteWorthy. I made my first song. Is is possible to make a mp3 of it or a possibility to listen to it with a normal cd-player. If so, please tell me how.
Thank you

   Indeed it is - but not directly.

   One possible route is to "export" the NWC File to Midi Format, and then to convert the formed Midi File into an MP3 File using software such as Synthfont -

(you can use this free for experimentation; if you like it, donate them some money).

NWC 2.5.5 (at present) does not export directly to *.mp3

1. Install (free) Audacity,
2. with the Lame add-on (also free).
3. Start Audacity to record,
(some experimentation will be necessary to find the correct settings in Audacity)
4. Start playing your NWC music (or any other).
5. Save the Audacity recording project.
6. Edit your recording as needed
(eg. trimming leading and / or trailing silence, and check for best recording levels. )

3 to 6 might have to be repeated to reach optimal results.

7. From Audacity, export as an *.mp3
