From the Tools menu, choose Burn Disc, and choose Track-at-Once Audio CD from the submenu to save your project as a track on an audio CD. Before you can use a TAO disc in an audio CD player, however, you must close the session.

Notes:

• Track-at-once CDs contain two-second pauses between tracks. If you want to burn a CD with no pause time, burn a disc-at-once CD.

• The entire project is written to a CD track. If your project has events on muted tracks that extend beyond the end of the audible material, the muted events burn as silence at the end of your CD track. To burn only a portion of a project, create a loop region and select the Burn loop region only check box.

1. From the Tools menu, choose Burn Disc, and choose Track-at-Once Audio CD from the submenu . The Burn Track-at-Once Audio CD dialog displays the length of the current file and the amount of time remaining on the disc in your CD recorder.

2. Choose a setting from the Action drop-down list:

   Item	Description
   Burn audio	Begins recording audio to your CD when you click the Start button. You will need to close the disc before it can be played in an audio CD player.
   Test, then burn audio	Performs a test to determine whether your files can be written to the CD recorder without encountering buffer underruns. Recording begins after the test if it is successful.
   Test only	Performs a test to determine whether your files can be written to the CD without encountering buffer underruns. No audio is recorded to the CD.
   Close disc	Closes your disc without adding any audio when you click the Start button. Closing a disc allows your files to be played on an audio CD player.
   Erase RW disc	If you’re using a rewritable CD, the disc will be erased when you click the Start button.

3. Select your burning options:

   Item	Description
   Buffer underrun protection	Select this check box if your CD recorder supports buffer underrun protection. Buffer underrun protection allows a CD recorder to stop and resume burning.
   Erase RW disc before burning	If you’re using a rewritable CD, select this check box to erase the CD before you begin burning.
   Close disc when done burning	Select this check box to close the CD after burning. Closing a disc allows your files to be played on an audio CD player.
   Eject disc when done	Select this check box to eject the CD automatically when burning has completed.
   Burn selection only	Select this check box to burn only the audio within the loop region.

4. From the Drive drop-down list, choose the CD drive that you want to use to
   burn your CD.

5. From the Speed drop-down list, choose the speed at which you want to burn. Max will use your drive’s fastest possible speed; decrease the setting if you have difficulty burning.

6. Click the Start button.

Clicking the Cancel button after the disc-writing process has begun will render your disc unusable (though it will still make a fine coaster for your favorite beverage).
