CD-R only burning at 4x

[tiw]

I have a CD-RW which is 8x4x32x and i am writing with cdrecord. I am using a brand new cd-r which is compat. with 12x so i dont understand why it is only burning at 4x

[complication]

When you use cdrecord you can specify what speed you want it to write at.

example:

"cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,4,0 -audio /tmp/data*.wav"

Hope this helps.
