Hi Donna, If you set CDEX to a specific setting, i.e. 192, then the quality settings are ignored. Essentially, they are presets. For example, if you change it to a different quality, you will probably find the bit rate changes too. Hope this helps. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

I've set CD Ex to record at 192 kbs constant bit rate. But I see there are also things called quality levels. Are these just for VBR or can they also be used for CBR.
