Need a program that makes mp3 songs

[DilerZone]

I'm new in this portal thing (I discovered this part of NG today javascript:MakeSmileySelection(14);
Expressionless).
I'm used to work with GuitarPro, which makes only mid song files.
I saw I can only submit mp3 files to the Audio Portal.
Can anyone tell me where to find programs which write and create mp3 songs?

Check out the Audio Sticky

A program used by a lot of the users here is Fruity Loops. You can get a free trial from their website. You can import the MIDI file into there (I think), then go to File > Export > As mp3

Voila.

You could export the stuff you made in Guitar Pro as midi and convert it to mp3 (or do what the previous poster said), but you won't get very appreciated results. In fact, the only 'good' way would be to record you playing the guitar over a drum backing track)...

Well, on midi the quality of music is very bad.
I can't record myself, cuz I got a cheap microphone, and I only play piano. My computer is not in the same room as my piano.
Thanks anyway...

How about Audacity? You can export the midi to that then export it as an MP3 with the lame encoder plug-in.

you can download a thing to export as mp3 from various programs

Your best bet would be investing some money or bandwidth into a better sequencer like FL Studio.

Although, it wouldn't be TOO expensive to setup a decent recording rig. Seriously for 'aight' results you could probably scrape together like $60. It wouldn't be much more to enhance quality from there either.

if u import your songs to itunes then u can convert them to mp3 from there
