help! burning audio cd's on the fly results in cd's with skips

[Aubie]

I need help burning audio cd's. I've already made quite a few coasters and don't know what the problem is. I'm using nero with a veloCD 12x and a toshiba 48x running Win2000 on a duron 700 with 256MB ram. The setup: HD as primary master, cd-rom as primary slave, and cd-rw as secondary master. DMA is enabled on both drives. I've tried burning at 12x and at 4x and it says the burn was completed successfully, but whenever i play the copy there are skips in some of the tracks. The cd's I have tried making copies of are brand new and don't have any scratches. Can anyone help please.

I can only assume that they are IDE drives....do you run any background applications at the same time? Do you do anything while burning?

yes they are ide drives and no I wasn't running any other applications. I just set it up to burn and left the computer alone.

I have a similar setup. A Ricoh MP7060A burner IDE and an Asus 40x IDE CD ROM. I am running Nero 5.0 latest edition. I am also running a T-Bird 900Mhz machine with 128mb of ram though. I can do MP3 to CDA on the fly or CD to CD without any problem. They state in the manual that you need a machine capable of uncompressing and such to burn at high speeds. It seems that that is not your problem though.

Maybe the message is the media.

Well it sounds like a DAE problem. Try reading the disk at a slower speed to an image file and then writing it and see if that helps.

make sure your using nice cdrs. i've noticed cheap cdrs don't read as well on some cd players.

Well did the person that ripped the mp3s use a good encoder. Codecs play the major roll if your music will sound clear or like crap. Always use Fraunhofer or Lame.

And 128 bitrate is poor quality in my opinion, I deal with the music industry and can hear the differences. Get files with 192 bitrate or better before you burn your CDs or your throwing your money away.

Hello,
That velocd has burn proof. You should not get skips. Make sure it is turned on. You can toggle it on/off in nero. Without it the buffer will run out and you will get a coaster.
