Okay, I did my first tune in MTS. In reading the help file on Mastering....I created a new track, calling it the master, but I saved it as a mp3. It sounded good, but my question for you "bad boys" out there with months of experience
is it better to save the (mix) master record track as a wave file and then use a wave to mp3 conversion or....... is saving the master track as an mp3 file just as good in sound quality, etc...???

Okay Saz, thanks for the response and glad I asked. Santa is bringing me a 40gig mp3 player for xmas....so that will give me a device to listen to some final products as I travel.
I finally dumped the Cubase LE I was using....it was giving me some glitches in recording, and began using MTS much more. It [Cubase] did show me how they setup each tune as a project and keep all the wave files in a folder [ which actually is stated in the MTS instructions as well]...so that if you are working on say 10 songs, it will not become unruly. MTS was able to import those Cubase wav files easily so no previous work was lost.
