which CDs to use when burning music?

What blank CD brands are the best for burning music on them and playing it in a CD/DJ turntable?

Which are least expensive but still have great quality?

i use memorex black cd-r's and verbatim. they both seem pretty good

I've had great results with Taiyo Yuden.

I've been using these cheap cheap CDR's and they seem fine:



R.

I find that the burning software is more important that the CDrs.
Nero seems to burn anything for CMX

pretty much anything, except these "OHM" ones I got from office depot...they skip a lot on my car stereo, and don't play at all in my numark axis 9...

it's all about the verbatim vinyls

You got it my friend. Verbatim vinyls are the way to go.
(And mark 'em with a metallic silver sharpie,on the vinyl)

It's all about the TDKs, although those Verbatim ones that look like vinyl are hot :P

I just bought me some of those verbatim vinyl CDR's and they won't burn right. Anyone else have any probs with these? I'm using a newer light-on dvd/cd burner and Nero. I had to switch back to my trusty ole Sony CDR's and they work flawlessly.

It's not the cdr that's the problem but your cd drive.

I don't know how to explain it but basically some cd burners sometimes don't like certain brands.

I've had this happen a couple times. Really not lucky when you consider that it happened once with a spindle of 100 Philips cdr's. They skipped when burnt with my cd burner but they worked fine burnt on another friends one.

It's not a problem with hardware in exact terms but more like a compatibility issue.

when i first seen these lil basterds ,had to have them! but i had the same problem when i first used a verbatim vinyl. but i lowerd the burning speed to 16x on my burner an hasn't failed yet =) ! also works flawless with my cd tables .1 thing though ,nothing major but only thing i noticed with these are that there just a hair thinker cause the vinyl and have to give a very slight tap to get them into the deck but no scratchs while doing so. -cheers

Yes I had this problem also when I first started using them. I did the same thing as you, lowered the burning speed to 1x. You will hear this around here alot, burn in the slowest speed your software allows you to. Since I have been doing that I have not had that problem.

doesnt relly matter.
I USE MEMOREX.
its the burning speed that makes the difference.
the slower you burn it the longer its gonna last.

ironically, my sony burner with sony cd-rs was the worst combination....there was increasing distortion that started around the 45 minute mark.

i use the cheesy verbatim vinyls you can still put lables on them if you want.

i've also had good luck with memorex, fujifilm and philips.

experiment

i've used a lot of different cd's djing between me and my friends.. the best i've found are maxell cd's. Memorex are decent, verbatim are really good too... HP suck, so do office depot, they're the 2 worst i've used.
just get a main brand like verbatim or maxell. If u have new equipment u prolly wont have any problems with them anyways.. but i got some old cdj decks that were from a club, ones a little messed and i get problems with the cheap cds.
burnin prog is important too..use nero.

Those of you that have the Nero software can test which brands of CD or DVD discs perform well and exhibit the fewest errors.
Pop in a recorded CD or DVD and go to Nero Toolkit-> Nero CD DVD speed-> Extra-> Disc Quality Test.
In My Liteon Drive, the Maxell CD and DVD perform very good.
