koolkeyZ865 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I ordered some Taiyo Yudens the other day with the intention of storing some FLACs I had lying around but with the intention of keeping as much clarity as possible. What is the best burn speed that wouldn't dull the quality but also wouldn't take forever and a day to finish each disc?

manmower Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Troll thread? Burn speed will have zero effect on audio quality obviously but I wouldn't use CD-Rs for backups or archiving anyway. Even the good ones are too prone to degrade over time whether you use them or not.

Hugh Mughnus Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Why do CD burners still advertise all of the different speeds you can burn at (4x 8x 16x 32x 64x) when only the highest speed matters? What the heck is the point of that?

mcbpete Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 The burn speed has to match the bit rate of the flac file or you'll end up with jitter effects. You need to ascertain the revolution speed of the drive then use the burn multiplier to get the closest value to that bit rate. Remember that the disc is writing data faster towards the edge of the disc so if you have burning software that can compensate then you'll reduce the chance of bit smearing.

Guest skibby Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 depends on the brand of the burner, and the specs of the cdrs, someone needs to fetch those specs. no one here can really answer that without doing that work. for added measure, create a google drive, a dropbox and store them there.
