How to Burn Music From an iMac in GarageBand

Burn your GarageBand music to a blank CD-R.

GarageBand is a digital recording studio application included with the purchase of iMac computers. Using the iMac's built-in speakers and microphone, you can play and record music. GarageBand provides interactive instruction for learning to play the guitar and the piano. You can use software instruments to play the music you write in GarageBand and use the mixing settings to adjust your recordings. With your iMac's Superdrive, a CD/DVD-burning optical drive, you are able to burn copies of your music to share with others.

Things You'll Need

• Blank CD-R disc

Instructions

1. Load a blank CD-R disc into the Superdrive of your iMac.

2. Go to the "Share" menu and select "Burn Song to CD."

3. Click on the triangle icon in the upper right corner of the "Burn Disc In" window to access the burning settings. Select the burning speed and check the box next to "Verify burned data." Choose whether you would like the disc to eject or mount to the Desktop once it has finished burning.

4. Press the "Burn" button to burn the music from GarageBand to a CD.
