Well, the thing is, it's a MIDI sequencer. As it stands, it doesn't actually make any sound by itself. This is true of all MIDI sequencers, so there's nothing weird about that.
What you need is a sound source, and some way to record that sound source on the computer so you can process it (eg turn it into an mp3). Often the sound source is the General MIDI compatible synth on your sound card. Sometimes it's an external MIDI instrument. Sometimes it's a 'virtual' MIDI instrument which is really a little program running on your computer alongside your sequencer (eg DXi, VSTi). You need to sort out what's available to you and what suits the kind of music you want to make.
Then you've got to work out how to record it. This step is marginally more complicated, and depends on a few things. If you're using the synth on your sound card or a virtual instrument, the sequencer may be able to record the output of your sound card (ie all the sounds it makes while you're playing back your lovingly-crafted sequence) as a digital audio track in your project. I read that Studio Ensemble 2003 (SE2K3) can let you
As I said, I don't know if SE2K3 can do any of this, or if you have access to any other sequencing software that does. There are other ways to get around it, but it starts getting a bit kludgy and beyond the scope of this post. You can certainly write your music in it, if nothing else - it certainly seems very capable. Perhaps if you find you can't do any recording in SE2K3, and it's all a bit difficult otherwise, you can write all your music conformant to the General MIDI standard, and then get someone who does have a suitably capable sequencer to record it for you into an mp3. *shrug*
Anyway, see how you go. The journey of discovery is fun while it lasts, if nothing else. :o)

Add digital audio files to any performance. Use up to 256 separate digital audio tracks to lay out vocals, sounds and other effects with your music.
but I don't know if that means the same thing. I know the 'name brand' sequencers these days can (eg Sonar, Cubase etc). If you're using external synths, the process is much the same, but you'll need to sort out how to physically connect the line outs of those synths to the input of your sound card first. Depending on how many synths you're using, you may need to put them through a mixer first etc etcAs I said, I don't know if SE2K3 can do any of this, or if you have access to any other sequencing software that does.
