Creating TRACKS in Adobe Audition

[Goat Rodeo Cowboy]

I have this Love/Hate relationship with the HELP files in Audition. When you find the page that tells you how to do something, it always tells me to use some MENU or PANEL that I have no idea where to find!!! At that point my brain goes into FETAL POSITION. ;D

I take "house of worship" live recordings and clean them up, adjust and normalize, and then create TRACKS. (I have been highlighting the desired TRACK and using "SAVE SELECTION AS" and creating a discrete WAV file for each track. (Use NERO to gather up the tracks and burn.)

This morning I got out of FETAL POSITION long enough to learn that I could identify each track by pressing [F8] to mark it as a TRACK in Audition.

At this point, someone help me: What are my handy-dandy ways of getting these TRACKS onto CD in the quickest, simplest way?
SECOND QUESTION: When I need a file in mp3, I have been using this Rube Goldberg procedure of saving the file and then importing it into another software that will call the LAME Encoder to do the job, giving me a lot of options on quality and size of file. Is there a way to get Audition to call the LAME Encoder rather than the MP3-PRO encoder?

Goat-

From the look of your post, you want to take a long-form recording (like a performance) and break the individual songs of that into CD tracks, yes?

After poking around the brilliantly designed Adobe Audition 2 and the better Audition 3, it seems the fine folks at Adobe have taken the easy way away from us. You used the be able to just hit SHIFT+F8 on the fly and set a track point but now it's just slightly harder.
still on the fly, you can hit F8 at the begining of each track you want to create. Then you need to open your marker list window ("window" drop down or hit ALT+8). Using the drop down box, change each marker to a "track" marker. The other thing you'll need to do is set the END of each of those tracks, jsut use the begining time of the track that follows (Example: END time of track 1 = START time of track 2). That sets the range of the track. for the last track, set a marker at the end of the recording and just use it's time.

When you have all of those set, expand the FULL recording in the file menu and all those tracks will show up. Grab them and drag them into the record window and you're set.

I can't speak for ver 2 or 3. But in 1.5, you copy your long file to the multitrack editor, then place your start and end track ID's as described. Then you use the "mixdown to CD" option. It'll automatically split the tracks, and set them up into the CD burning project window.

correct...

in multi-track view you set your track marks, then go to File->Export->Audio Mixdown and in the mixdown options dropdown select insert mixdown into CD view.
