I brought a Matshita 7585 cdrw about a year ago. My first
intention was to make copies for some old my oldies that
can't be found now. When I brought it, it comes with
adaptec EZcd creator. At first I hope I can make copies
track by track but after a few trials, I lower my targets
to just the whole cd but still wasn't able to do so. The
resulting cd was 1. having a lot of high freq noise and 2.
the volume was much lower than the original. Am I
expecting too much. To me it seems digital-digital
recording should not be distorted. My old cd are now
cracking from the spindle holes. Can anybody give
me some advice please. One more thing, how can we
get away with the jitter errors.


By the way I use a celeron 400, 96M Ram with an
IBM 10gig HDD, source Nec-285 cd-rom, target
Matshita 7585 cd-rw. Burning cd was the only job
that the machine was doing and nothing else at the
same time.



 
To get rid of the noise and stuff, as well as to burn as quickly as possible, with the least errors, your CDRW should be on a different cable than your hard drive, and/or the CD-ROm you're copying from.
Adaptec isn't the best tool for this job either.
For accurate clones of a CD, you should use CloneCD, or even Nero to burn.
A third option, is to rip the tracks you want, using CDEX (it's the best free ripper there is!), then select the tracks you want to burn. You can use Nero to equalize the tracks, so they're all the same volume, then burn using Adpatec EZCD if you like, or Nero, (or any other good audio burning prog). It's more work that way, but you end up with a custom CD that sounds as good as the originals. Cheers,
Jim
