I remember trying to burn CD-Rs back in the day when 1x burners were still thousands of dollars and there was a club underneath the office doing a sound check at the same time. The vibrations would toast every burn, which was annoying since it took about forty minutes to burn each one.
Shades of trying to do laser holography where everything has to remain perfectly inert for seconds on end.
