It's often possible to use your main PC multitrack sequencer to prepare your stereo masters for burning as a CD-R audio track. However, many PC musicians still prefer to adopt the DIY approach, pre-mastering their final mixes using PC plug-ins, and then burning their own CD-R that is then sent off to be glass-mastered and replicated. The combination of a fresh set of ears, a purpose-built studio with excellent acoustics, and a wide range of expensive equipment designed to get the best from your music should make your various tracks sit better in the context of an album, as well as adding some freshness and vitality. If you have the budget (and it needn't be that expensive if you shop around) you can take advantage of the services of a mastering engineer. There are various ways to translate your rough PC audio mixes into finely honed versions ready to be burned onto a Red Book audio CD. You can assemble an entire album's worth of completed stereo tracks in most modern multitrack audio applications for pre-mastering, although you'll usually still need a separate application to add CD track indices before burning a CD-R.
