I have been evaluating CDR burners; there is a new one by HHB, namely BURNIT CDR 830.

If you are an owner, how is this unit?

Difficult to use? It appears pretty straight forward in the literature from the HHB site.

Many thanks for input,

WATCH THIS!

JUST BUY A MASTERLINK. (reminds me of the movie with Bill Murray......groundhog day)

Well, just as I always sound off about Beyer cans, I keep getting these good vibes regarding the Alesis Masterlink.

Question: How long does it take [minutes/hours] to burn, say, a CD using 60 minutes of the 70 allocated on most CD discs?

I'm guessing at 60 minutes as being in the all right zone. I know you are supposed to leave some space on the disc but since I've not burned any yet, I'm curious as to the time involved.

Thanks and smooth holidays to all.

If you have no DSP (digital signal processing) applied - about 8 minutes....

Speaking of deja vu: that would be an 8x burn and I haven't heard that speed recommended by anyone for serious projects.
 
The Masterlink burns at 4X speed, which is the optimum speed for CD-Rs - I've burned 100s of discs without a SINGLE problem....... the other factor is burning disc-at-once, which the Masterlink does...

HMMMMMMMMM.......
a 4x burn transfers data to the CDR at 600KB/sec.
I've got a 4x burner and copies take about 20 minutes.
~18 minutes for the data and 2 minutes for the TOC.
And that's a FULL CDR, not an 80% full CDR.
How does this 4x burner do this in 8 minutes?
Even burning disc at once the transfer rate is still 600KB/sec.
Splain it to me Lucy.
 
You're right, it's not 8 minutes, its around 18 minutes - I was doing other stuff yesterday while doing some duping, so I guess it only SEEMED like 8 minutes.... (time flies, etc...) ;)

Anyways - quoted right out of the Masterlink manual... "The Masterlink records Red Book CDs at "4X" speed, which simply means that a full Red Book CD can be recorded (after rendering, if necessary) in _ of the play time, or about 19 minutes. Less full discs take correspondingly less time to record."

Consider it "splained" Ricky.... :D

Thanks a ton. Now I have a clear idea of time involved and it's not really all that much time.

I don't plan to be burning 100 CD's at once; however, I like to find out all I can from those using the gear and those who know.

Thanks Draw/Bruce
