One good place to inquire is a video and audio production business in your area.

About two years ago a band I was in back in the 60s reunited and the sound was professionally and digitally captured with 44 separate tracks.

We took this raw audio to a professional studio for mixing and, of course, they used a Mac and ProTools for the software.

The first rough CDs they burned out to demo to the guys was done at a very slow speed and I asked why it was taking so long when CDs I burned at home took a couple of minutes and they explained that slower write speeds using lasers results in a better and more accurate burn whether audio or video with much fewer defects so their professional burners for both audio and video dubs cycle slowly.

So while I can't hear much of anything wrong with what I burn at home I yield to the pros and offer what they said in answer here.
goodluck
