Wassup Cake Fam!!!  Ya boy is having a small problem.  I've got my final mix together for my project.  I've imported my 16 stereo tracks each on separate tracks into a project for mastering the entire project for audio cd burning.  My problem is getting all 16 tracks to export and keep their original time length.  I can get all 16 to export to the audio Cd Burner screen, but all tracks are the same length, and that's not how I made them.  In my project, drag the gray bar across the number line to the length of the longest track>I click on each track so that they are highlighted>file>export audio>select track in source category, 16 bit depth 44100 sample rate, and all tracks will appear after export in Audio CD Burner.

The export will be the selected range. Therefore, if your tracks are on separate clips, click the clip before exporting. Then you will only export the exact length of that clip. It also only exports selected tracks.

Keep in mind where the track is routed. Sometimes, people bounce a track through a master bus with a bunch of fx on it. Then they export the new track. If the new track defaults to the master bus then the track will route through all those fx again. So, instead, route the track direct to your interface so that no additional fx are applied.

I assume all 16 tracks are separate songs right? 

If you burn them to a CD that way, you will get a CD with one track that contains all 16 tracks as one song playing over each other. Not good. 

What you should do is once you've mastered the tracks, then you need to export each of the tracks to a separate WAV file. When you export the files, select Tracks as the Source Category and it will create a separate WAV file for each track. Then open Sonar and select Utilities-Burn to CD. Then add the 16 WAV files using the ADD button and selecting the files from the folders you saved them to. (You can select multiple files by holding down CTRL while selecting the WAV files. Then make sure you have them in the order you want them and click Burn to CD. Then you should get a CD with 16 separate songs. 

you must render (export) each one first to a file by clicking once on the CLIP so the length is correct.  then use the burner selecting the ecported tracks from wherever you exported them (folder).

you have to do them one at a time to acheive different lengths.  click each clip and export

To do what you want, you would need a program like Sound forge or another audio editing program.

You cant export different tracks separately while keeping their own length in Sonar. Its not built for that. A sonar project is one project and the tracks in the project are part of that project. di I explain that right?

Thanks a mill for the input...so it sounds like I cant export all 16 songs from diff tracks simultaneously.   I guess I have to export each track separately after I move the gray shaded line to length of that particular track, while having that track highlighted by clicking on the track number, one by one?

Also, if Sonar isn't the program to master in this way, are there any other suggestions like Sound Forge for example that is great for mastering audio?

click the clip itself to select exactly the length of the clip (right hand side of the track view window).

That doesn't work when your trying to export all 16 tracks at one time, like the poster wants to do.
