I am actually doing a CD (finally) and I hope to be finished in the next month or two. I have 12 songs that clock in at around 36 minutes. My plan is to mix them as best that I can do, then turn off the compression/limiting on the master bus and output the 12 stereo files to individual wave files.

To "master" them, I will then import those songs one by one into a new Sonar file with spaces between each one. So I will have 12 songs end to end on one track that will last 36 minutes. Then I will apply light multiband compression and limiting on that new "master" bus and try and make the songs flow together volume wise. Once I have it as good as I can do, I will then re-rendered the 12 songs individually, drag them into a CD-burning program and bam!, a CD is born. Oh, I will find a special "mastering engineering" hat to wear while I do all that!
