For the mixdown part of the recording process, you can playback the tracks as often as you like and make changes to the various parameters for each track (pan, volume, effects, dynamics). These changes can be automated so that when you have everything just right, all you have to do is hit Play, and your 2-track mixdown is ready to record, just as you want it.

You can use the export feature in Tracktion to create a stereo WAV file of your mix that you can use to burn to a CD. Click the "export" button and select "create an audio file."
