Making recordings of Nwc 2 files

When I want to put a normal noteworthy composer file onto a CD, I simply save as a MIDI file, put it through a MIDI converter, then drag the file into Itunes. But when I try to do that with a noteworthy composer 2 file it doesn't let me save the file as a MIDI. Does anyone know a solution?

Also, is there any way that people who don't have NWC2 can listen to the files. I want e-mail a song to someone

In NWC2 use the Export function under the File menu

Of course, just tell your friends to download and install the free NWC2 Viewer.Then you can email them the song and they can view,play and print it.

Jack,

When I record to CD, I use Sound Forge (4.5), which is a very strong wav editting program that converts to CDA using industry standards; and normalizing the left and right channels to unity is a snap with just a few clicks. 

I simply play NWC while recording with Sound Forge and use CD Architech to finish the project, which is a Sound Forge add-on tool.  Be careful to not clip the signal... Digital recording is VERY unforgiving with clips.

However, these are expensive, professional software and there are more than likely cheaper options.

But yes, I agree with llucyy, if you don't need to convert to CDA, just point 'em to the NWC viewer!

Jack,

I use a very inexpensive program called Ripvinyl, which produces a WAV file for any music ( or indeed any other sound ) you can play on your PC.  If you then copy the WAV file to a CD it can  be played on virtually any standard CD player.
You could send the WAV file as an attachment to an Email, but it might be a bit big in size for anyone without Broadband.

You can very quickly download a free trial version of Ripvinyl.  Have a look at www.ripvinyl.com
Although it looks primarily aimed at people wanting to copy vinyl records, it works easily with Noteworthy playbacks.
