Hey Dave, I really appreciate your sticking with me on this and please forgive me for being a complete newbie to Pro Tools.
So, when I try to burn an audio CD, here is the process so far. See if you can guide me in the right direction.

I use the "bounce to disk" feature. This brings up a window with choices of: bounce source (I'm using Analog 1-2 S/PDIF L-R stereo)

File Type: BWF (.WAV), AIFF, Real Audio, MPEG-1 Layer 3, Quicktime, Windows Media.

I've used .WAV but couldn't burn them to audio CD. The MPEG works great but I'm wondering if I will get better quality using soemthing else.

Format: Stereo interleaved (that's what I've been using), Mono (summed) or multiple mono.

Sample rate: 44.1 KHz, 48 (that's what I'm using), 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192 and then all of the above with pull-down added.

I click bounce and of course it asks for a save location and name.

All has worked well except for burning the .WAV to audio.

Am I using the wrong settings somewhere?
