Real-Time Mix Down To File

I've got a question relating to producing a mixed output file 'while' recording. I've got PT set up in my music room, where I regularly give lessons. I used to get the students to bring along a tape recorder to tape the lessons, but here's what I'd LIKE to do:

* connect up three mics - one for my guitar, one for theirs, and one for my voice
* have a session template ready that adds a bit of reverb to each channel and mixes them at the right levels
* press record on PT at the start of the lesson (pausing and restarting as required), then
* burn a mixed-down CD of the lesson at the end to give to the student

The only unkown for me in all this is having a single mixed file ready to burn at the end of the lesson. From experience so far, I've bounced the session to disk to produce an AIFF file, then burnt that, but it bounces in real time so for a 40 minute recorded lesson it will take another 40 minutes to bounce. What I'd like is to have a wav (or other) file created from the master fader in real-time that I can burn as soon as the lesson is over.
Is this possible?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Josh
