Cannot choose "Burn Audio CD" in DP6

Post by jr213 »

Any idea why DP6 will not allow me to select "Burn Audio CD" in the Bounce to Disk menu? The manual doesn't seem to say anything about certain conditions. For me, that and "Audio CD Disk Image" are both grayed out. Thanks in advance!

is the session 44/16?

If it's a higher sample rate I don't think DP can burn from that.

Ps I'm only guessing as I never use this feature.

I spoke to MOTU about this right after installing DP 6. It cannot and (according to that guy) never will be able to burn a CD unless the session is at 44.1. Seems strange since Toast and Quicktime don't seem to mind and even convert MP3s to AIFFs if you drag them into the burn window. DP? Not so much. That really sucks, IMO. It would be nice to send a director a CD of cues to listen to, but no, you have to convert the whole dame thing to 44.1 which takes way more time than just dragging the soundbites to Toast or a burn folder.

So much for that feature when working on film or in anything but 44.1. :(
