Does MasterLink always need to render an image before burning the CD?
No, rendering is only necessary when you are going to burn a Red Book CD, and you are using DSP and/or sample rate conversion and/or bit reduction. If your tracks are 44.1 kHz/16 bit, with no DSP applied other than Track Gain, no rendering is necessary, and MasterLink will burn the CD directly.
