What's your favourite audio CD burn speed?

I burn CD's with Waveburner but have been doing it old-school at 10x speed. I have to burn a lot and was wondering if people are burning at max speed or what the current thinking is.
Thanks

That depends so much on the medium and CD writer that there is no general rule. Find a medium that works well as an audio CD in typical audio CD players and check it with your CD writer - by burning and verifying some sessions. There's also software for professional testing out there that you'll find with google. Also look for medium recommendations for your specific hardware.
Cheers,
Jazz

  • What's your favourite game on the Sony PlayStation?

    My favourite game has to be Street Fighter Alpha 3. One of the best beat em up games I ever played! Loved the World Tour mode! Soundtrack and gameplay was top notch. Shame Capcom has no plans for Street Fighter Alpha 4. So what's your favourite game on the Sony PlayStation? 

    Seems like one of those questions that always gets asked to open a debate but find that everyone has already answered countless times.  Nevermind though, as a newbe I'll give it a go. Not an easy one to answer.  I like Fifa 2002 and of course Grand Turismo 2 plus Driver. Recently found a couple of games in a skip and in our local library about 40 PS1 games in their CD recycling box.  Still trying to find manuals for them.

  • What's your favourite compressor tool?

    Although I think Logic Compressor does a fairly nice job and can be useful in many occasions, I'm now looking to expand my dynamics department.
    I'd like to know what's your favourite compressor and why?
    I quite like the Sonalksis SV-315. what's your opinion on that?
    Plus I'm looking for something similar to the Jomeek SC2 Photo Optical Compressor that is available for pro-tools. Any suggestions?
    Your help is very much appreciated.

    I was about to start a new thread asking about the nomad factory plug ins, but I figured I'd ask it here since it's related and you're already talking on the topic.
    so I've been getting into work on my new MBP.. enjoying it so far. one thing I knew I'd miss on this machine was my UAD plugs. I've got the sonalksis plugs which are giving me some reliable eq and dynamics. but I really want more choice than just the logic comp and one other one.. I'm really missing the UAD 1176 and LA2A here.
    same goes for EQ and other (ok I'll say it..) 'vintage' sounding effects. I guess quality stuff with character is what I'm after.
    so I'm thinking about nomad factory (they seem to have UBs available) and also URS (even though I hate ilok authorized plugs)..
    is anyone using this stuff? I have used the URS before and was loving the neve EQs. but have only ever barely used nomad on a friend's setup once years ago. I don't recall thinking it was bad sounding at all, but I was always under the impression it was a little down-market. the prices don't seem all that downmarket to me though..
    opinions? thoughts? I'll prob try a couple of demos, but I'd love some feedback too.
    btw I'm ruling out waves. I fell off the waves registered user bandwagon back in OS9 days and frankly haven't felt drawn back. do their plug ins still not offer tempo sync, or precise control on exactly what incremental setting you want (for delay in MS, as an example)? and do they still block logic keycommands when their editor is open?

    What's your favourite ever moment or memory?
    For me, it was completing this level of Crash Bandicoot called 'Crash Crush'. You had to run towards the screen while a boulder chased you, as well as dodging emerging pits! It was almost too much for my 9-year old self to handle

  • Read, Touch, Latch, Write, MIDI, what's your favourite ?

    Just curious ...
    This question may seem dumb because every mode has its use, but what's the mode you use the most, that is set to default on your tracks, and why ?

    Here's the secret (I learned it by trial and error): You can copy and paste commands within the Controller Assignments window. As well, you can have more than one action performed with a control button press. Have your controller do a mode switch. In that mode, the same button can perform a different command. So, what I did was have the touch button go into touch mode and reassigned the touch button to switch to latch mode by copying and pasting the command within the touch mode area and reassigned the midi code of the command. I then pasted the read/off command in the latch area and reassigned the midi code. Pressing the buttons on my ProjectMix now gives me the desired results.

    It depends on what I am working on, and what works for my ear at a certain moment. The good news is, SCULPTURE is the best module when it comes to both flavors. Both emulations are crystal clear, and as close as it gets to reality. But!
    When it comes to a track that requires an acoustic guitar, I don't fool myself, I call in a guitar player.

  • What is your favourite design publication in DPS? (poll)

    I propose to use this post, like a poll, for forum people…
    I will start:
    -Asos

    techboy,
    I'm pleased to share it. The method behind the entire project is described here www.milibrodelasletras.com as well as a link to the code for the writing/drawing canvas (hint: it's the HTML5 canvas tag). Additionally, it has been added to Bob Bringhurst's free iPad app, DPS Tips, and finally included in the DPS cookbook.
    One regret I have about the project is that it is difficult to find a place on the page titled "Juego" - where I have the letter matching game - to swipe to the final acknowledgents page. I think that many people never make it there, and that is where I provide links for all of the content creation.
    Best,

  • How to find out maximum possible burn speed.

    Hello,
    How do you choose the best burn speed in Disk Burner?
    I am using OS 10.1.5 and I found the Disk Burner settings in the "Disk Copy" Utility. I clicked on the preferences (of the "Disk Copy" Utility) and then set the burn speed to "maximum possible". When I burned the DVD however it gave me an error. And so I thought maybe I would choose a slower speed. However I do not know what speed it was actually using when I had selected "maximum possible".
    Is there a way, when you select "maximum possible", that you can identify exactly what speed Disk Burner is using?
    So I am going to guess that the maximum speed for my burner is 4x (due to the fact that it takes about 30 minutes to burn a 4 GIG DVD)
    So then I chose 2 x to see if that would work.
    2 x also caused the same error (error code - 7932)
    Maybe I will try 1x next.
    I have the feeling the error may not have been because of the speed at all and may be because of the size of the DVD I am trying to write. I have had success writing DVDs that are under 4.1 GIGs. Anything larger than 4.1 generates that error. If this is so, it is most likely because I was forced to make my startup partition for OSX 7.99 GIGS. Thats a little small for burning DVDs but I didn't have much choice because of this limit on beige G3 models and OSX.
    Well back to my original question:
    Is there a way, when you select "maximum possible", that you can identify exactly what speed Disk Burner is using?
    Thanks

    Not sure if it is different in your version of OS X, but in 10.3, you can go to Applications -> Utilities then run the Terminal application. At the prompt type in drutil info and hit return. This should give you all the info on your optical drive including who is the manufacturer and model number. With those two last bits of info, you can simply do an internet search and find info on your drive including maximum burn speed.
    As to in your system, the maximum burn speed will be whatever is ranked lower, the drive speed or the media (blank speed). So if your drive is 8x and your media is rated 4x, then theoretical max speed is four times. Of course it could end up even lower if, for example, your drive does not understand the speed rating on the media you bought, it which case it would likely then default to 1x speed.
    I think if you pull up, again speaking in terms of Panther here, the activity console one of the logs will tell you what speed was used. I am not at home right now, so I can not actually dig through my computer to tell you exactly where to look.

  • Audio CD Burn Turns Into Static After Beginning of CD

    I'm noticing that after I burn an audio CD from my MacBook and then take it to my car's CD player (or any other non-computer audio CD player), I hear progressive static as the disc moves down the playlist. By the end (if I make it there), it's almost all static overtaking the music. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did you fix it?

    hello folks! I have the same problem. At about half to three quarters through a cd, while playing in the car stereo, I will get a crackling static that basially makes the cd unplayable from that point on.
    Shall we try to debug this?
    1) Are we all burning in iTunes? I am.
    2) What setting do you have for burning speed? Mine is set at maximum speed.
    3) What kind of media are you finding this with? For daily burning use, I use TDK CD-R 52x 80min/700mb.
    So the first thing I'm trying is to lower the burning speed.
    I'm assuming that since it shows 24x as the highest speed, that it is the highest speed the drive can use. I'm trying 12x first to see if that has any effect.
    Let's also make sure we are using an internal MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E drive.
    I have been trying to locate a good CD/DVD diagnostic tool, but can't find the Apple Hardware Test CD that came with my computer. Any suggestions on second party software?
    Here is my drive info:
    MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857E:
