Sonar X-1 Exported track problem

When I bounce tracks to a single stereo track for mastering and export, I am getting a darkened area at the end of the mixed down stereo track that is contained in the exported WAV file which I am unable to eliminate to get the exported WAV file  to be the proper time configuration. I am selecting export in Tracks and not Entire mix. This is puzzling.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and this just came up as I am trying to get a new cd to the manufacturer so thanks too for replying asap with any info on this problem.

    Use the From/To settings to tell Sonar where to start and end your export. Sonar is exporting from the length of the entire project, unless you tell it otherwise.

    2 Steps
     
    1 - Select ALL (or Select NONE)
    2 - Sweep along the time ruler to highlight the area you want exporting
     
    Export.
    If it's a Stereo wav you want, use Main Outs.

    When I darken the track I want to export does that not give me the track only in the time configuration?
    I still have this darker shaded area after the track.
    Also do I use Main outs on the master bus or the stereo track I am exporting itself?
    I'm a little confused.
     
    Thanks for the reply.

    Right I see - you're trying to export a single track which is a previously bounced down track of all your other tracks correct?
     
    In which case I would start by soloing this track, select it, swipe in the time ruler to highlight the range you want, then export it, again from Main Outs.

    And just as another option, I do the final top and tails in a wave editor because it has the tools down pat. You can add fades and check your overall RMS levels too. 
    I use Wave Lab but these work too

    i will try to swipe in the time ruler.
     
    I'm not sure how to do that.
     
    And I'm still not sure where the "from/to" control located that Dan spoke of.
     
    Is this the time ruler?
    Do I put the main outs from the bounced track or from the main?
     
    Thank you I am starting to see how to solve this problem I think.

    The time ruler is at the top of track view, numbered 1, 2, 3 etc as shown below
     
    Click & drag in here to "swipe" though the selection you want
     
    In my example I have between 5:02:000 and 6:02:000 highlighted
