Burn a project to a CD or DVD
In addition to bouncing a project to an audio file, you can burn the project to a CD or DVD (in
DVD-Audio format). Logic Pro can directly burn Red Book audio to blank CDs or burn DVD-Audio
to blank DVDs. You can bounce to one or more audio formats and burn the project to disc at the
same time.
Burn the current project to a CD or DVD
1 In the Tracks area or the Mixer, make sure that the tracks you want to include are routed to the
main output (Output 1-2) and are not muted.
If your project has multiple output (channel strips), you can select any of the outputs to bounce
only the tracks routed to those outputs. For information about output channel strips, see
Use
output channel strips .
2 Choose File > Bounce > Project.
3 In the Bounce dialog, select Burn to CD/DVD as one of the destination formats in the
Destination area.
Note: Selecting Burn to CD/DVD automatically disables the PCM > Surround and Split Stereo
options, because CD or DVD-Audio makes use only of interleaved stereo files.
4 Choose one of the following options from the Mode pop-up menu:
•
CDDA: Burns the project to a CD. If the selected sample rate (chosen in the PCM pane) is
higher than 44.1 kHz, a copy of the bounced PCM file is created (with an automatic sample
rate conversion to 44.1 kHz) before encoding. This conversion takes place because the CD
Audio format (Red Book) does not support sampling rates higher than 44.1 kHz.
•
DVDA: Burns the project to a DVD. Any sample rate up to 192 kHz can be used for stereo files,
and up to 48 kHz for surround files.
The Media Status field shows whether or not a disc is inserted in the chosen disc burner. Make
sure you insert a disc before burning.
