Audio CD tips

When recording music files, it is important to note that:

￿As you add music files in the recording session, the software calculates and displays the amount of recording time that is available to record additional music files. If you try to record more than a standard CD can hold, a message opens warning you that all the tracks may not fit on the disc.

￿If the recording fails, manually select a slower recording speed, if available, each time you make a recording. Refer to the Help menu in the selected software program

for more information about selecting a slower recording speed.

￿If you change the write speed of the recording, run a Write Simulation test to verify that the burner can burn to the disc at the selected speed without causing recording errors.

￿You can select the “Enable buffer underrun protection” option when burning a disc to ensure that data is written to disc without interruption. An interruption in data can result in an unusable disc.

￿You can select the “Verify recorded data” option to compare recorded data to the source data to ensure accurate burning.
