What equipment do I need to record my beats on a CD,ie do I need a laptop or computer if so what program should be used, or is there a special piece of equipment that is used, and how do I hook it up?

If u have a computer with a cd burner you can just upload your beats to the computer and burn the cd inside the computer.

thanks, but how would I do that um not very computer savy? do I go to rip music and then rip from external source? or what?

if you're not very computer savvy, you may just want to try buying a standalone CD recorder. I have one I got off ebay for 100 clams. It's a dual one, with a few extra features. It's nice to put beats on it straight from the ASR when I really don't feel like messing around with anything else. I just push "record" and finalize the CD when I'm done. All I do is connect some Phone->RCA plugs from the ASR to the CD burner.

I'll probably do that then thanks bro.

no problem at all, man. To get an idea of what I'm talking about, here is the one that I have: JVC XL-R2010BK. Just do a search for it on ebay or something. I wouldn't recommend the one I have, because its a little tricky to use sometimes (it has a bunch of Karaoke type shit built into, pitch control, and some other crap) but I like tinkering with electronics, so overall, it's easy for me. But, just look for something along the lines of the JVC recorder.
