I 1st got into CDR because I've always been into my home-made compilations and have 100's of cassettes that I've done over the years so CDR was the logical way to go for me. I started out with the abysmal phillips recorder, it would freeze/fail when I was 2/3-3/4 done and all you could do when this happened was pitch it and start all over! I've owned a Pioneer PDR19RW for 4-5 years and it's worked flawlessly from the get-go. I can record from my PC but, although being faster, I still prefer my old-school ways. Besides, I can't help but think that the sound quality is superior recording from my rig than from my business computer. As far as usage, it's pretty much the same routine as recording with a cassette deck, except you can't make any mistakes!!!;) I'm sure you've heard of CDRW's that allow you to erase and fix mistakes (ala cassette), I've never used one but from what I understand they're nortorious for not playing in any machine other than the one you used to record it. Not good. Have fun, that what all this is supposed to be about!
Best Digital Audio CDR for standalone CD Recorder?
I just got a used (but factory refurbished) Harmon Kardon CD Recordable. I want to burn cd's at 1X to make the most primo copies possible without bothering with computer programs.
First, does anyone have any general advice/theory/experience in this arena that would care to pontificate at length? ;)
Secondly, what's the best brand/brands of Digtial Audio CDR's available and where are some of the best (read: cheapest) places you can get them online?
Thanks, peeps!
