Firewire CD burner

[Armando]

Has anyone used a firewire CD burner successfully with PT LE 5.01?? If so, which brands.

I have had a QPS 8x 4x 32x for a couple of months and have had no troubles at all. No coasters. It also looks cool on top of my G4.

If yes, please report.

Hi Armando, I just bought the LaCie 8x4x32 Firewire cd burner. So far I'm quite happy with it. I do have some questions however for some of the other people with burners. Can you all actually burn audio cd's from your computers cdrom at the fastest speed? I have only been able to burn pre-recorded cds at a maximum of 6X. That's pretty damn fast so I still have no complaints. I also noticed a little glitch of random audio for a second between 2 songs on one occasion. What is everyone finding to be the ideal settings, ie write speed, cache setting to copy an audio cd? Has anyone else experienced little glitches of audio being printed to your burned cd's from time to time. My burner is brand new and so I would be bummed if this happened on a regular basis.

Also Armando, the best thing I can recommend is to go to the most respected pro audio dealer that is using specific burners / gear with the SAME equipment configuration that you are using. I have found actual computer dealers to be all but useless in terms of them knowing what equipment will work in harmony with systems dedicated to audio. There is just so much potential for incompatibility and conflicts that you need to go somewhere and see the same gear that you have running effectively. Hopefully you don't live far away from a major city where this would be possible. Good Luck!

I've been using the QPS model 525 and have had no problems at all. It works up to and including it's fastest speeds. I even hear that the latest version of Jam will work with it. That's my next step to figure out which is the best software for the final mastering and burn to audio CD. Any ideas?

the que dirves are basically plextor mechanisms.......you can look up more dtailed info from plextor if you like. they are even supposed to support the burn proof tech that plextor markets...this is only with the 12x drives though ( i think)
