Methods for establishing audio track digital audio extraction speed

A method for recording audio data to optical media, comprising:

• identifying a number of audio tracks on a source optical media, a source optical media device containing the source optical media being at a maximum read speed;
• reading a first audio track on the source optical media, such that a digital audio extraction (DAX) speed for the first audio track is identified;
• identifying a mid-point audio track on the source optical media, such that a DAX speed for the mid-point audio track is identified;
• and
• calculating a record speed for the number of audio tracks on the source optical media to a destination optical media, wherein the DAX speed for the first audio track is used for recording the first audio track through an audio track immediately preceding the mid-point audio track and the DAX speed for the mid-point audio track on the source optical media is used for recording the mid-point audio track through a last audio track.
