Many users are surprised when they work with Burning Studio 21 for the first time. It's all so easy? Yes, because there are only three steps in the center. The selection of files, how the program should process them and on which data medium they should be burned or saved. Create your own Video-DVD with an animated menu - with just a few clicks?

Create backups according to plan

Do you store your data in the cloud? Not everyone's cup of tea! Why not back up your data on CD / DVD or BD burned!

And if something doesn't quite fit on the data medium, Burning Studio distributes the data automatically and safely for you. Compression and secure password protection included!

Relax and listen to music and audio books on your car radio

Anyone who compiles music for their car is often faced with a problem: Whether burned or on a USB stick, hardly any car radio masters all sound formats, the sorting is sometimes lost completely and the pieces are played wildly mixed up. The new Burning Studio 21 puts an end to this! For more than 1800 car radios, there are already custom-fit profiles available, so the number of supported devices has been increased significantly since version 20! Emulators of CD changers are also fully supported, so that the full functionality of these devices can be used. And for optimal audio quality in the car, there is an equalizer and the classic normalizing in addition. Listen to your songs and audio books on the road in the best quality and of course in the right order!

Even read damaged discs - thanks to scratch protection

With the proven scratch protection your data will always remain safe. Even clearly visible scratches lose their horror through repeated burning at different places on the blank!

A great strength of Ashampoo Burning Studio 21: There is the right way for every project.

Comfortable working with disc images such as ISO or CUE/BIN
