We've had a number of (mostly PC) users inquire about the viability of some of the newer IDE, EIDE, and ATAPI CD burners for making audio CD's.

The answer, according to Sweetwater Sound expert, Clay Stahlka, is that in the current version of all of the professional CD burning packages only SCSI CD burners are supported. It is (remotely) possible that some of these IDE style drives could get the job done, but to date very few companies have written the code in their software to support them. So go put a SCSI card in your computer and do it the right way guys.
