I need help making a CD

I need help making a CD of the 15 or so seperate tracks that I have edited and mixed together. How do I make all 15 tracks into one mega-track and how do I save it into a format I can burn onto a CD and/or play with my MP3 player.

    If they're all mp3's already, can you line them up in iTunes (or whatever) and burn them from there?

    Okay, you have one song which consists of 15 or so tracks? Or 15 tracks, as in tracks on a CD, like 15 songs?
    I think you mean the first one. If they are all audio tracks, select all the tracks and then go to 'edit>bounce to tracks', check the options you want there, probably all tracks to 1 stereo track, and click ok. That will render 1 stereo track of all the seperate tracks you selected.
    You can then export that stereo track to another program to burn to CD, or to convert it to MP 3 for emailing/posting.
    If you have MIDI tracks which have not been converted to audio (that must be done first) the method is similar: select the MIDI tracks you want to convert, then the bounce thing. Unless your MIDI device is the Microsoft GS Wavetable synthesizer.

    Yep--I think you're right, Greg. I think I read his post too fast.

    Thanks for the quick response. Actually, I have 15 songs, but each one blends into or overlaps with the song that follows it, so there is one long, track (no breaks between songs) and I can't find a way to save it so that I can make it into a CD. I have tried the bouncing tracks option, but I don't know what to do next.

    To maintain your crossfades, you may have to burn it to the CD as one long track.
    You could try splitting the project into the seperate songs, in the middle of the crossfades, and export each segment, but I think you might get a hiccup between segments on playback. I've never tried this.
    There may be software available that can mark the start and end points of songs in a continuous track like that, probably something from Sony, and probably relatively expensive.
    I see what you are wanting to do, but I'm not sure what options you may have.

    I am trying this...

    edit-> select all

    Then

    File-> Export -> Audio

    and then saving the whole thing as a .wav file

    I can then use the windows conversion tool to turn it into whatever I want...

    I will let you know if it works..

    I guessed wrong, but RobertB has got you covered.
    So, in this case, the tracks were tracks on different tracks.

    If you have all 15 songs saved as separate .wav files, open a new session in m/c, import the first, set your cursosr to the end of that song, import the next, maybe a little drag and drop into position to overlap, go to the end, import the next and so on until the end. If you intend on playing this cd on home or car or boomboxes, they need to be saved as 44.1kz, 16 bit wave fies. And, there would be an 84 (total) minute limit.

    Playing in your CD player and MP3 player are different animals. A Cd burn requires wave audio tracks, an MP3 burn is a data not an audio burn.
