172 Tutorial 9 – Exporting, CD burning and sharing
Burning an audio CD
Select Utilities > Burn Audio CD to open the Audio CD Burner dialog box.
Simply browse to the audio files you want to burn and click the Add Track button. You can also drag
audio files into the Burner track list.
Depending on the type of blank CD you are using, you can fit up to 80 minutes of audio on one CD.
Make note of the Space Available and Space Used fields. These will let you know how many more
tracks you can fit on your CD. For the best compatibility with most consumer CD players, you should
use a CD-R disc. CD-RW discs, while compatible with some newer CD players, may not play back in
all systems.
Once you have finished adding all the songs you would like to burn to a CD, the final step is to burn
your disc. To do so, do the following:
1. Insert the writable CD into the CD-R drive.
The drive containing the writable CD should automatically be detected. If for some reason it isn’t
detected, manually select the drive letter of your CD Burner from the Target Drive drop-down
list.
2. Click Burn CD.
Cakewalk Publisher
SONAR includes Cakewalk Publisher, which is a powerful tool to share your music, artwork and
playlists on the Internet. A detailed description of Publisher is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but
let’s take a quick look at its basic features and how it integrates with SONAR.
Note: Any files that are not in 16 bit, 44.1kHz wav files will automatically be converted to the
proper CD format.
