How do I prevent buffer underruns?


    •Use a fast, AV-friendly hard drive (i.e. one that doesn't do slow thermal re-calibrations). Pretty much all drives sold in the last couple of years fall into this category.
    •Record at a slow speed.
    •Don't do anything else with the computer while recording.
    •Don't record from a file server.
    •Defrag your HD regularly, especially if you're doing on-the-fly recording.
    •Record from a disc image file rather than on-the-fly.
    •Depending on your setup, putting the recorder and your hard drive on separate SCSI controllers may be necessary.
    •Keep your CD-R cool. Sometimes the drives fail when they overheat, with a buffer under-run or an inability to finalize a session.

    If a buffer under-run occurs, you may still be able to use the disc with multisession CD-ROM drives by closing the session and starting another, assuming there's enough space left on the CD, and assuming your pre-mastering software didn't choose to finalize the disc for you.
