i am curious....is there a difference between different blank CDs that we record our live sets on...
i always buy Sony 30 pack and the cost is about $30....but i get so many new sets i wanna just start to buy like a 30 pack of Memorex for $15...but i am SCARED the quality would be different....
so is this true....would i loose quality doing this...or are they all the same.....anyone?:conf: |

i get a 50 pack of sony 80 min cdr's from staples for 29.99. where are you buying theM?
memorex is a pretty good brand! the only problems you might encounter are with the lifespan of the cd. but dont quote me on that. :eyes: |

i bought some really cheap FujiFilm ones, and they work fine, but I think they skip easier.
Memorex is a good brand I heard. |

| I didn't find a difference between the different brands....but maybe over time ( a long time) it might be different...But who cares.:) |

| i dont know why but certain discs just perform differently in different cd players. i get tdk and theyre great. i once used memorex and it skipped in the same cd player that i had tried the tdk ones in. btw im talking about music cdrs. now though i buy this generic brand thats just plain old silver on both sides and they seem to work just as well as the tdk only theyre half the price :D |

| the only difference (if there's one) is that the cheap ass cds sometimes they don't work with high speed burners , that's all |

| Cheaper CDs are actually made of cheaper material, so burners and readers will have a harder time writing and reading data to the CD (this will reduce the lifespan of the burner/reader and the sound quality of the CD will noticeably diminish after a while) Expensive brand name CDs usually toss on a lot of stuff on their CDs so they last longer (e.g. to prevent scratches, wear, chemical reactions) Cheap CD's that come in like huge packages (like 100 for $25) will defect in a few months because they are made from the cheapest materials possible, and anytime their surface is altered, the CD becomes useless.. I learned about this the hard way (I had a stack of like 50 no-name CD-R's, and now after a while, one by one I have to throw them away) :o |

hmm..
i've been using non-branded cd-rs for sometime and they haven't been giving me any problems.
i always thought the make matters.
like platinium, gold, silver, blue,black (the colour)
i always buy em in platinium. the blue ones suck. |
