Where can I buy Mitsui CD-R's? Website or stores in NYC or North Jersey? Thanks!
Burnin CDs? Sound loss/degration question
General concensus when copying digital material is that there is no loss of sound quality...however...when I burn Cdrs on my pc...from other Cds...not mp3s...they sound compressed and dull...my fried has a professional TASCAM cd burner...and the results are about the same...any thoughts?

Buckingham has it right except for the $1000 CD Recording. The new Yamaha recordings make great CDs. I just bought one. It claims it can burn at some ridiculous rate, but I use it at 1x for audio and 8x for data. The audio sounds fantastic.

It is possible to make bit-perfect copies with a computer, and pretty easy to prove to yourself that you did so correctly. I wouldn't worry about anything else until you go through the steps to prove or disprove this capability. My opinion is that if you're getting bit-perfect copies, you'll have no sound degradation and, by implication, if you're experiencing sound degradation, that you're doing something that causes the copy to not be bit perfect (ie, running it through the sound card). Many disagree with this - speed of burning, type of CDR, etc. also being seen as key variables. They may be correct, but the accurate copies is what I'd check first. |
My cd copies sound very,very good and most people probably would say that they sound the same as the cd. But-I am used to my system and how the real cd sounds on it and the copy has a slight loss of air. In the car and on my other system they sound pretty much the same. I always burn at slow speed and burn to hard drive first. |
