Burn a project to a CD or DVD in Logic Pro
In addition to bouncing a project to an audio file, if your computer has disc-burning
capability 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 Logic Pro 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 in Logic Pro.
2. Insert a recordable CD or DVD into your computers optical drive.
Before burning, be sure your computer supports the recordable CD or DVD you’re using.
3. Choose File > Bounce > Project or Section.
4. 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.
5. 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.
