logicscott Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Has anyone done any research or experienced and sound quality diffference between slower or faster burn times in Waveburner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueintheface Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 There is no difference in WaveBurner's output at those speeds - any resulting difference is down to media - it is not advisable to burn CD's slower than their recommended minimum write speeds - you will get more errors. I suspect the optimum write speed varies from media to media, and batch to batch. . . . and can only be determined ny experimentation.

editbrain Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 i use to follow this very closely back in my linux days and development stages. i would say burn 1/3 of your media top speed. so if you media is 24x then burn at 8x. i have been thinking of getting a realtime burner. i just don't trust and never have trusted the "X" factor of audio in a burner if it wasn't realtime. good for data, bad for streaming type media. audio or video. MHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinc Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 yea I don't believe there is a quality difference, more of a reliability difference. if you burn it at a lower speed the disc tends to be more reliable... I have experimented in my own travels and found lower speed burned discs tend to not have playback issues and I can be a little more rambunctious with them when I take them out to DJ with.
