Tom: If you are just mixing down in sonar and then burning directly to CD, you can make sure that you don't have any extra space by setting your now time to the point after the end of the song (don't forget to allow for reverb tails etc.) and then set your from mark there with f9. Then press control f10 to set the through to the end. Select all the tracks wit ctrl enter 3 times. Now, go to the cut dialog (ctrl x) and make sure you check delete whole and also check everything else, markers, automation, tempo changes, etc. Press enter. This will get rid of all the extra space in your project. Now, that being said, I would strongly encourage you to consider getting sound forge to do your mastering and final editing.

When I mix down a project and export it to a CD it continues well after the end of the song. How do I set the end of the project closer to the end of the music. Is this done after I get all the tracks in the project bounced to a mix? Tom, tks
