After mastering audio, we usually use CD-R (Orange book) for transmitting to factory. It is known for the best method that writing CD at the most low speed (x1~x2). However, the lowest speed is not the most optimal choice, now.
Read below articles~!.
Additional very interesting info courtesy of Mike Poston:
Sometime ago, I spoke to the service manager of the largest importer of optical drives in the U.S.
He told me that all of the service/alignment/maintenance manuals from ALL of the manufacturer's instruct technicians to align the lasers at "one half of the maximum write speed" and that the error count would be the absolute minimum at that write speed.
I've instructed all of my customers to set the write speed in Discwrite to this value and using Taiyo-Yuden discs, the average BLER rate is 1.5 when verified on a Clover CD Analyser. A much higher error rate is most noticable in the area of E12 errors when recording at 1x or 2x.
