About This Booklet

After you've created some great music on your Fantom-X, it
only makes sense that you'd want to record it onto an audio
CD. That way, you can enjoy listening to your Fantom-X songs
using any CD player. This booklet describes how to make—or
"burn"—an audio CD of your Fantom-X songs.
There are two different ways to make a CD of your Fantom-X
music:
• Connect the Fantom-X's audio output to a standalone CD
recorder.
• Use the Fantom-X's resampling feature to create an audio
file of your song, and then transfer that file to a personal
computer equipped with hardware and software capable
of burning an audio CD.
We'll explore both of these approaches, as well as the
equipment and/or software you'll need for each method.
