How Do I Get My Song Into My Computer?
When you’ve recorded a song on the JUNO-G, you may want to burn it onto a CD, listen to it on a personal music
player or upload it onto the Internet. You can do all of these things from your computer. A computer can’t play
JUNO-G songs directly, though, since they’re constructed of data meant for the JUNO-G. You can export a song’s
audio files and the MIDI files that play the JUNO-G’s sounds, but that may be more effort than you want to invest.
Here are two quick ways to get a completed JUNO-G song into your computer.

Playing the Song Into the Computer

You can play the song from the JUNO-G into computer-based recording software. If you don’t own recording
software, you can purchase some or use free software such as Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). If you
use a Mac, you can use GarageBand, already on your Mac. You can also record onto a stereo track in a DAW
(“Digital Audio Workstation”), if you own one.

Connect the JUNO-G’s A MIX (L&R) 1/4” outputs to the audio input(s) of your computer. Most computers provide a
1/8” stereo input you can use. For better sound, you can purchase an audio interface that adds high-quality audio
inputs to your computer.

Bouncing the Song in the JUNO-G and Transferring the Mix Using USB
Important! The Juno-G ships with 4MB of RAM and storage. This allows you to record 20 seconds of stereo audio.
To capture full songs—as you’ll do in the following steps—you’ll have to expand the Juno-G’s RAM as described
in the JUNO-G Owner’s Manual.

1 On the JUNO-G, load your song.

2 Press the AUDIO TRACK button.
