Hello sifus, i currently need to burn/copy CD using 1x speed because at this speed has the least quality loss. But my current HP ori OD cannot make it. It says the lowest writing speed is 16x

When i try to find OD out there, most of them are showing the highest writing speed, and i do not know whether there is any unit that is capable to write at 1x?

Please suggest me solutions!

I am using sony CD Architect 5.2 / Sony Sound Forge Pro 11.






All the inputs are much appreciated..

..........

digital recording do not have quality loss

high speed burning just have higher failure rate
not quanlity loss.

fail = read error
just did a verification test after burn..

i tested a few of my CDs.. and there are losses in terms of quality.. BTW i am burning HQ audio into my CDs..

when compared to the original one, it shows significant differences when i listen it..

the bitrate u choose?

exactly the same as the original CD..

As I recall, all optical drives would be able to write from 1x up to its max speed. It's just the burning software that plays the part in controlling the burn speed.

It's been a veeeery long time since I used optical drives (now got usb drive, what) can't remember what program I used during those pirating days... But i remember distinctly that the menu had a drop down list of the burn speed from 1x and up.

the two softwares i using confirm can do 1x.. bcz when there is no cd in OD the drop down list got 1x.. but after i insert CD, only 16x 24x 32x 48x and max is available.. i thought is CD-R prob, so i use my old laptop to try.. the lowest is only 8x.. i was using the same CD-R to test..

Burning from another CD-A?

Use this instead. http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/en/
Don't ask how to use it.

not software prob bro.. i got this software as well to extract those audio from the CD..

AFAIK, only CDR/W burner can burn CD/VCD with 1x speed.
the slowest DVDR/W burner i had ever seen is with 4x .
most of the DVDR/W burner using IDE cable usually can burn at 8x.
not sure about latest DVDRW, coz don't burn cd any more.

not all burner can do that so far.. only those using IDE connector can burn at 1x.. and they are super expensive now.. for sata the lowest i had seen was 4x and it is a plextor one.. not sure M'sia got any plextor retailer selling their OD or not.. posted 1 thread in market place but no response so far..

have you pondered whether that the CD (brand of the CD, maxwell, generic) will reduce end result/quality?

i got do some reading on CD brands and so far sony and verbatim are the best and can be obtained easily in M'sia.. CD brand like TDK and Kodak are better but very hard to find here..

and BTW ripping speed also will affect the end result.. i always rip at 1x.. but can only burn at much higher speed..
