That's a J-O-A-K. The Plextor P won't record at less than 4X. I always error-test like Mr MassiveMaster taught me to, and find that, with the right media, the error rate is VERY low. And I hate to tell ya, but a friend brought by some black CDRs he wanted me to burn for him and the error rate is 4-10X what it is for the good 'uns. And THAT's with the Plextor that has a black tray! Man. I can't figure this out.
Massive Master said:The "industry buzz" is 4X. My own experiments concluded the same using multiple drives and multiple popular media.
The best / lowest BLER from the experiment?
Tayio Yuden discs on a Plextor Premium drive at 4X.

Behold the power of the Black CD Foil Hat combo...mshilarious said:It's because the black CDs are like a digital tube, their higher error rate imparts a pleasing harmonic distortion, but only if you're wearing your aluminum foil hat.
Which I ASSUME all of you are ????

fenix said:2x is probably not the best speed for your drive and media combination.
As far as what is the BEST burning speed depends on your drive and media (cdr type) combination. Generally speaking, nowadays with high speed drives you will actually get more disc errors by burning at, say 1x or 2x, then you will with 4x and 8x.
With high speed cd burners and high speed cdr, keep your speeds in the 4x-12x ballpark (never over 20x) and you'll be fine.
