Export it to a wave (File -> Export -> Audio) and then use your favorite CD burning software to burn to CD.






P.S. After you are done and before you come back and ask why it isn't as loud as a commerical CD, you might want to spend some time in the mastering forum.

C,
Was it all audio tracks? Then follow Dachay's way. Don't forget to select all tracks before exporting 'em.

If you have MIDI tracks, then you must record 'em (or convert) to audio track first. It's pretty easy if you use DXi. Just select MIDI track with it's DXi destination track, select Edit, and Bounce to track. Repeat the procedure until all MIDI tracks converted into audio track. Once it's done, then select all audio track, export 'em into wave file...

As Dachay mentioned, you may need to "master" the result to get that "Comercial CD quality". If you don't think you're gonna "master" it (or you won't do anything more to the result), then make sure to export to 16bit/44.1 kHz. It's ready to burn on CD.

Good luck!

James - that step is not necessary if you use DXi's. MIDI routed to a DXi will export directly and does not need to be converted to audio (the DXi, in essence, does that already).

True!
