You need to be a member of Cigar Box Nation to add comments!
as Rand Moor says, something like Audacity is a fine system to begin with. You should get a "help" file with the download that will explain the basics.
The sound is totally acceptable.
To download onto the CBN site, get your audio file in an mp3 format and download the file via the "my music" box on your home page.
If you have a mic for your computer, you can download the free program called Audacity from the Internet (can do a Google search on the keywords "Audacity" and "download"). It may take a while to figure out the program, but it is fairly simple. When recording you will get a real time graphic image of the audio as it is buffered by the program. You can then go back over it, edit out sections you don't like, or add a second or third sound track. Once you have completed it, you can export the file using .MP3 file format. While I have never uploaded any audio files and embedded them into CBN, I suspect you can upload them somewhere on the Internet, and then set up a link to play them. Maybe some other CBN member can pipe-in and explain this part. Good luck. And I'm looking forward to hearing your dulcijo ;-)

Video files are downloaded in a similar way.
