Talldog9 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 x1 will produce the best, best meaning least chance of a coaster. Should you burn at this speed? No not unless your drive is crappy or you are using crappy media. The internet - Where men are men, women are men and children are FBI agents.

Tom AZ Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Many CD replication facilities suggest 4x -- no more than 8x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted December 6, 2008 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2008 I use 4x speed and sometimes 8x speed for audio CD burning with good quality discs. Going faster than 8x in my experience will sometimes cause some playback issues like a noticeable skip with some playback units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted December 6, 2008 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2008 x1 will produce the best That speed unfortunately which may be more secure isn't available in most modern burner drives I've tried. I haven't used any burner drives for several years that will go under 4x speed for CD-R discs. Interestingly though your comment makes me remember the horde of audio CDs I burned many years ago that playback flawlessly being they were burned at speeds 2x and under, whilst the newer faster burned variety are a "lets see how bad this turns out" type of ordeal as many even burned at 4x speed have some skip in them and it isn't drive independent as I have several burner drives.

1984 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i never even burn disks. i just put everything on my mp3 player or a 16 gb stick i have that plugs into my home and car stereos. im sure the sound is not as good as a regular cd, but i'm a cheap date and the quality isn't really an issue as i really can't tell the difference.
