Most modern recorders can read data at much higher speeds than they can record it.
Whatever speed you select for writing your CD, recording will proceed at exactly that speed until it is finished. If this speed is not maintained, writing halts, and the disc is ruined. The buffer stores a small amount of data which it can keep feeding to the recorder until the flow of data from the source resumes. If the interruption is so long that even the buffer is emptied, you have the dreaded buffer underrun , which used to be the most common error in CD recording, and a major cause of coasters . These days, thanks to faster systems and more intelligent software, buffer underruns are uncommon, especially at lower recording speeds such as 2x.
