Hello.

Burning at high speeds such as 8X leaves a large margin for artifacts
on the CD. There are a few factors which go into this, the main ones
being the CD-Writer itself, and the media (CD's) you are burning
to...writing at 2x is the best speed for audio CD reliability.

I have an 8X burner at home, but I only burn at 2x myself because I
unfortunately do not have time to listen to every CD to make sure it
is perfect...

Thanks!
