Why can't I record on a blank CD-R?

[no_hypocrisy]

I have a new piece of audio equipment. Supposed to be able to record from tape to CD-R. Followed the directions and nothing on the CD.

Do you have to initial a CD before you begin to record?

1. No. n/t

2. At some stage between

playing the tape and recording the CD, there will need to be a digital file made and stored temporarily. I'd start looking at the options, tools and settings for this.

3. Is it one of those stand alone units/

If it is it will only record on CD-R Audio blanks.

4. These types of machines are very particular about the type of cd you record to

You have to have a disk that is 1-whatever speed you buy. Not just 52x or 48x, it has to be 1-52x or 1-48x. Hope this helps.

6. the one i have does that as soon as i put thje cd-r in.

i would guess that yours would do the same. And if i put the wrong type in it yells at me.
