Waveburner destroys files

[K9 Kai Niggemann]

Yes, using The Mac during wavburning seems like a less than perfect idea. Embarrassing, really. 

Also why can I only burn at 8x speed and not slower like every mastering engineer recommends?

I converted all with rx2 now and burned it. Must check for distortions now...
