My question is when you are mixing in your DAW do you burn from your DAW or do u get ad external CD burner ive always just used the DAW is that wrong or is that what most people do?
Depends on the DAW. Whether or the DAW allows you to tag the songs, work with audio montage, generally act as some sort of mastering suite. I will burn from Acid but not from Cubase. I suppose everybody works different. I've never tried burning from Cubase. Not even sure that you can. It's not something I looked for when I bought the software.
I have burned from wavelab it works pretty well, I also tried the Masterlink stand alone burner. I have to say I only used it once, but was not happy with the results I got out of the masterlink.
