First, congrats on the new Mac, that sounds like quite the machine. It sounds like you have all the software you could want, but I have a few suggestions. First, although nowhere near as good as Sonar, Amadeus Pro is a great, accessible audio editor for the Mac. The program costs $40 I believe, but it's well worth it. Second, you can burn DVDs directly from theFinder. Simply put whatever you want to burn in a folder, select that folder an under file, choose burn folder. There are a few other ways to do this as well, but I find that to be the easiest so far.
Hope all this helps, please feel free to contact me on or off list if I can help further.
