Need to import CD tracks into Sonar X3 to use as reference...

Hi.  Does X3 have a utility to import audio tracks from a CD into a project, or will i need extra software to do this?  If so what would you recommend.
I'm going to attempt mastering a CD i have just finished mixing, and i want a few reference tracks in my projects so i can A/B while mixing.
Thanks,
Cheers!

    Yes, there is an "import audio CD" option in X3. You can also use Windows media player to rip CD audio.

    Just remember that any CD track you import will have already been mastered, so to achieve a similar result inside your DAW, you must route the CD reference track directly to your Main outs, bypassing any mastering Fx in your Master Buss

    You might be interested in the plug-in for assiting in setting up reference tracks.  It's only $40 or so and looks like it might be worth every penny.
