Burning to CD Tips

I am in the process of burning an original song to CD. I know little, if anything about how best to do this and I'm not very knowledgable on all the tweaks one can do prior to burning.

Can someone please tell me the basic things to do to make sure that the song burns to CD with the best sound possible?

Just basic steps, filters or processes to apply prior to burning would be good.

Thank-you!

I use Cool Edit Pro and XP
 
First time you burn to CD, you supposed not expecting that best. Need experience to make it best.
Anyway...
1. Make sure your wave in in 44.1K 16 Bit format wave. This for make sure you have standard CD quality.

2. You may want to check your wave block graphicaly in wave editor (eg. Cool Edit, Sound Forge, etc...) and check the peak level of the song. If it's too low, then you need to "Normalize" it. You can tell if your wave is low is when average peak were too far from 0dB. By normalize it, you'll have your data as loud as posible, without being clipped/distorted.

3. Burn it down... and compare to the Pro CD you have. If you miss something, back here and post more question.
