hi im new into this forum, but i've read other threads about dc noises and i understand that the dc is loud as hell by nature, but i have this question: i recently got into dc burning scene, i use the following settings: 1) disc juggler 3.5, mode 2, raw write, add 3rd party images gap, 12x speed and then i changed to 2) alcohol 120% raw dao, 12x i have used the follwing media (cd-r's): verbatim cd-r super azo. now my question goes like this: i have two original discs (demo disc and browser disc) = they arent louder i have like backup discs that i bought in a flee market = they arent louder my burned discs with the specs previously mentioned= i hear like a trailing sound, i mean, like whenever i Turn On the Dc, the sound i hear is like if the laser is going all the way to the outer area (of the cd), it tends to do it once, sometimes twice, then, thats it, it makes all the normal sounds of a gd-disc or my "original backups" discs. i have to say, im burning *.cdi images, i think they are dummied or something since most of them are 700+ (even ikaruga or mvc2). am i doing something wrong? like, bad cd-r, bad burning settings, bad speed? help appreciated...i dont want my dc to get ruined, thanks xeonrebel
