Hello Everyone,
I have Ableton 4 with the M-Audio Firewire 410.
I am trying to record vocal rehearsals and I need to be able to burn a multi song cd as quickly as possible. I am somewhat familiar with the "render to disk" feature, but I've never been able to successfully burn an audio cd.
Basically while I'm teaching vocal lessons, I would like to be able to begin a new track for the CD at different places in the lesson. Would I just record the different sections seperately...and render them as seperate audio tracks somehow?

Secondly, I need to be able to burn this disk quickly and easily with just about no editing.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Daniel

1. Record each song into a new clip each and stop Live in between. When you're finished save set self-contained and in the song folder>sounds you'll find all your .aiffs or .wavs ready to burn. Just drop these into your chosen cd-burning app and burn as an audio cd.

Bear in mind the above means of creating your files gives you no access to normalising, effects (unless you set up an effect track and route/record through that to an adjacent track) etc, which means you should take care to get the levels going in set properly. A one-step way around/beyond this would be to:

2. Drag the clips you've recorded across onto one track on the arrange page, top/tail them if necessary then just click/select one of them and render using normalise, one at a time. After that just burn as above.

FYI render to disc means render to your hard disc, not to a cd etc.

Thanks Mutha!
That pretty much solves what I needed.
Once again, thanks.
