Vinyl Studio
Hi! I didn't intend trying this App but I'm now very glad I did at least take a look, you can find Vinyl Studio at http://www.alpinesoft.co.uk/VinylStudio/register.aspx You can download a free trial of Vinyl Studio or buy a licence for $29 U.S. which I beleive to be extremely reasonable given everything the App does. Yes, the App seems perfectly accessible though I cannot yet vouch for editing audio as I've not recorded anything with Vinyl Studio at this point however certainly all the dialogue boxes and edit boxes etc I cam across when setting up Vinyl Studio were easy to get to. The real reason I myself wish to give Vinyl Studio a good is because of the completeness of the pacakge, anything pretty much to do with capturing your Vinyl is handled by Vinyl studio, capturing the vinyl to your computer, organising your albums into a collection, proting to CD, getting information from CDDB for your captured albums, cleaning up pops and noise and much more. Vinyl Studio also has a version available for Mac which I'm very much looking forward to trying.
RE: Vinyl Studio
Dane My initial impressions also seem to be quite good. I might also fork out the necessary money to get the full version. Dialog boxes and even the menus seem to be quite accessible. Will have to see how the complete things work though when recording. It seems to be very specifically geared towards working with vinyl lps. While you can probably use something like audacity for this purpose, chances are that vinyl studio might be a lot easier to work with. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane Trethowan Sent: 11 September 2016 05:29 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Vinyl Studio Hi!

Re: Vinyl Studio
A lot easier to work with I should think if all you're wanting to do is devote your time and energy to capturing your Vinyl to a collection and from there?

Re: Vinyl Studio
I'd be curious to know how you like the program, and if it indeed does offer those extra vinyl perks. I've been a Sound Forge user for fifteen years, and if this Vinyl Studio can detect the pauses between songs and pull track data from an online database like Discogs, then this would be great. A lot of my vinyl isn't in those cd databases, so if it doesn't link in with Discogs, then hopefully there is at least a section to fill out with the artist title and year.

Re: Vinyl Studio
It should be pointed out that Vinyl Studio is not a sound editor, it is specifically designed to record albums from Record or tape however you can import albums that you have recorded so therefore you may have made and edited recordings with Sound Forge, Total Recorder and so on. I'm going through the Vinyl Studio help file right now and the more I read the more impressed I am with this App, firstly its non destructive therefore every change you make - pop you fix etc - is saved and you have the ability to discard those changes or revert to them at the press of a couple of keystrokes.

Re: Vinyl Studio
I’m using the version of Vinyl Studio for OSX as I write which is also incredibly accessible and easy to use, like the Windows version there are tips at startup to get you on your way and everything is laid out very clearly in the Interface for the App. The Help system is very comprehensive. > On 12 Sep 2016, at 3:10 AM, Matthew Bullis wrote: > > I'd be curious to know how you like the program, and if it indeed does offer > those extra vinyl perks.

Re: Vinyl Studio
I have installed it and had a look around. It indeed does support Discogs, so that's great. One thing I can't seem to edit is the file name format. I want it to have track number and title in the file name, not track number, artist, and title. Although I was able to delete the data, once I did that, I couldn't find a done or ok button and the Jaws cursor didn't reveal anything. When I reopened the settings screen, it was at its default.

Re: Vinyl Studio
One could make a hundred recommendations, no hard and fast rule for this sort of thing so here are a few things I believe you should consider. Turntables have been around for years - good turntables that is - and all the names you know and trust when it comes to turntables are still going strong, Marantz and so on. Marantz make a very good turntable for around $600 Australian which is a fair price for good turntable gear. This unit has everything you'll need including a reasonable spec mounted cartredge and stylus along with all the adjustments you'll want to make to align the turntable. The Marantz will need to be hooked to a Turntable Amp or Hi-Fi Amp of some kind, don't go for a USB Turntable, using a traditional Turntable that you can hook to an Amp - preferably a turntable preamp or a Hi-Fi amp with a Built-in Preamp - allows you flexibility to get the best sound you can from your turntable, you might want to have a few headshells with mounted cartredges and stylus's on hand too as different setups have different sound characteristics but that's bye the bye for the moment. Obviously with this arrangement you're going to need a reasonable sound device for your Computer, I still use the iMic II though I don't know whether this can be purchased any more, I bought a dozen of these little yoyo looking devices at the time so I have plenty here, anyway I'm sure there are plenty of other good Sound Cards out there which will do a fantastic job. Just my two cents worth on the subject. On 13/09/2016 7:03 AM, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi! Sounds really nice as my father which passed on in july this year had a lot of vinyl records.

accessibility of vinyl studio lite
Hi folks Just received my NAD PP4 phono preamplifier. Nice little device with USB, moving coil and moving magnet inputs, an auxiliary input for e.g. recording cassette tapes and also an auxiliary output. Very solidly constructed little box with also a recording volume control on the front. With it came a programme called Vinyl Studio lite. Im just wondering if anyone has ever used this programme and whether it is accessible? I suppose this is no big deal as you can use any editor like audacity for example to do your recordings but I was just wondering. Regards André

Vinyl Studio Pro, down to work
Finally got some time to work with Vinyl Studio Pro. As list members will recall, I got some time this past weekend to sample a few Vinyl singles in my collection, I didn't have a lot of time at my disposal then so it was a hurried session, sample the singles using a Zoom H1 recorder connected to the line-out of the Rotal Amp to which the turntable was connected and hope to be able to import the recordings to Vinyl Studio Pro when time permitted, well time permitted today and I will summaries what took place and how everything was done. The first thing that needs to be done - when you launch Vinyl Studio for the first time - is to create a record collection, Vinyl Studio Pro will do this by default. Next you select ad a new Album - when the record collection database is created a new album is the next default screen You must fill in the data fields for that album and make adjustments - it may be a single you're bringing into your record collection so you tell Vinyl Studio Pro that with the "Single" Checkbox etc -. Once all the data is entered you can start importing the audio for that album and that's simply done by selecting the audio file/files that you sampled. I had my audio in FLAC format which Vinyl Studio Pro had no problem with importing. Once the audio is present in your Album you can tell Vinyl Studio Pro if the imported audio is a single file - needing splitting into tracks/sides - or if each file is a track/side thus you then have the ability to edit the data for each track of your Album or single. Once that step is completed Vinyl Studio performs some true magic offering the user the choice of where the audio is located. You can leave the original audio where you imported it from and Vinyl Studio Pro will link to it, move it to the "Recordings" folder of Vinyl Studio Pro or move the audio into your Album collection so the choice is yours. That's as far as I've gone but I still need to do more, I wish to clean the audio up a bit - the singles I imported are a little warn with a little fire in them (crackle) - and I wish to see how effective Vinyl Studio Pro is at handling a cleanup job so will look at that aspect again when time permits. You can of course record your records directly into Vinyl Studio Pro and that's what I had initially set out to do, never mind will tackle that at another time. Once the recording has been made you can have Vinyl Studio Pro split the recording into tracks thus you can edit the data for each at that point. And most importantly, Vinyl Studio Pro keeps track of all data at all times so the user can revert back to previous events or undo changes easily.
Putting Vinyl Studio Pro Through Its Paces
Yep, will be doing that this weekend, have some lost 45’s bought from Vinyl Australia to sample and I’ve got the old Aiwa Turntable prepared and ready, have one of the computers here connected to the line-out of the Rotal Amp which has a truly superb Fono stage built-in. I have both the Mac and Windows versions of Vinyl Studio Pro so it will be interesting to see which I get better access to, the Mac or the Windows version, at this early stage they both seem rather equal. ** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.
Vinyl Studio Pro, how did it go?
I didn’t get as much time with Vinyl Studio Pro as I would have liked, had a few other issues to deal with though that didn’t stop me sampling some of the Vinyl, even though I was away from the computers and all thanks goes to the Zoom H1 for making the sampling possible, Just hooked the H1 up to the Line-out of the Hotel and switch the Amp to font, set the levels of the H1 to absolute 0, pressed record on the H1, dropped the needle onto the first Vinyl and off it all went. So now all I have to do - when time permits of course - is to import that recording into Vinyl Studio and fill out the appropriate information and Google has helped me out yet again by providing various web sites containing all the information for cataloging Vinyl Studio could possibly. So there’s my progress report as promised, not much for a weekend that I grant you but better than nothing. ** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.

Re: Putting Vinyl Studio Pro Through Its Paces
Thanks for this, my Aiwa is getting a little old now and I have been looking around for a replacement. Thankfully one of the Hi-Fi specialist stores I know very well does stock Pro-ject and they’re supposed to be very reasonable so I’ll take a look the next time I’m down there. > On 22 Sep. 2016, at 6:54 am, Byron Stephens wrote: > > I got one of the pro-ject turntables here, the pro-ject carbon, and it's a > beauty of a unit!

Re: Putting Vinyl Studio Pro Through Its Paces
No problem! The pro-ject tables have the adjustable tracking via counterwate, and the phono box is the preamp that you will need. Also these turntables are dead on for speed. - Original Message - From: "Dane Trethowan" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2016 5:26 PM Subject: Re: Putting Vinyl Studio Pro Through Its Paces Thanks for this, my Aiwa is getting a little old now and I have been looking around for a replacement.

Re: Putting Vinyl Studio Pro Through Its Paces
Well I don’t need the preamp box but I take your point in any case, the Rotel amp I’m using has a very nice font amp as part of it. A lot to be said for using Fono amps, there are many and some have adjustments which can change the sound characteristics of your turntable. I like my Aiwa as it has a removable headshell, I have a couple of different head shells I use and each has a mounted cartridge with its own stylus, there’s one I use for general stuff and another I use if I’m sampling 12 inch dance recordings which I collect,,. > On 22 Sep. 2016, at 5:11 pm, André van Deventer > wrote: > > That is what I like about my Rega - the thing is probably close to 20 years > old but still functions as new.

Re: Putting Vinyl Studio Pro Through Its Paces
Yeah I could look around for one of those but I believe I’ve found what I’m looking for, going to take me a little while to get it but I think one of the Marantz models I saw might do the trick and I’m also going to take a look at the Project model mentioned on list by another member. I’ve had my Aiwa for 20 years now and I thought - at one stage - the Aiwa would be the last turntable I’d ever own but then Turntables came back into fashion and we now have better models than my Aiwa could ever have been and for a lot less money. Only one trouble with my Aiwa, its direct drive system generates a little rumble, I can filter that of course quite nicely without affecting the samples I’m making. The Aiwa has a strobe with 2 adjustments - 1 each for 33 and 45 speeds - and of course I can’t take advantage of this but I do have some vinyl test LP’s with 1KHZ tones on them so go figure, just make up some sign wave tones of 1KHZ with Goldwave and there’s your reference for adjustment . > On 22 Sep. 2016, at 6:38 pm, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > You don’t seem to be out of money so you could also check the Rega Planar > something out. > I read a test on it in june and if i could i would afford it. > /A >> 22 sep. 2016 kl. 02:26 skrev Dane Trethowan : >> >> Thanks for this, my Aiwa is getting a little old now and I have been looking >> around for a replacement. >> Thankfully one of the Hi-Fi specialist stores I know very well does stock >> Pro-ject and they’re supposed to be very reasonable so I’ll take a look the >> next time I’m down there. >> >>> On 22 Sep. 2016, at 6:54 am, Byron Stephens wrote: >>> >>> I got one of the pro-ject turntables here, the pro-ject carbon, and it's a >>> beauty of a unit!

Re: Putting Vinyl Studio Pro Through Its Paces
The talk about preamps reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask. I have a turntable and a preamp which I need to use to get vinyl into a PC and I'm getting 60-cycle hum. The preamp was an old Radioshack model. I can use a filter to kill the hum, but 1. is that a reasonable thing to do in the first place, and, 2. what would people suggest as a reasonable cost method to not have the hum at all? Btw, be looking forward to hearing about the software. Thanks. - Original Message - From: "Dane Trethowan" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2016 12:34 PM Subject: Putting Vinyl Studio Pro Through Its Paces Yep, will be doing that this weekend, have some lost 45’s bought from Vinyl Australia to sample and I’ve got the old Aiwa Turntable prepared and ready, have one of the computers here connected to the line-out of the Rotal Amp which has a truly superb Fono stage built-in.

Usually 60HZ hum is introduced by poor earthing, I’d check that first if you haven’t already. > On 23 Sep. 2016, at 8:01 am, Gary Petraccaro wrote: > > The talk about preamps reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask.

Most likely you'll need a ground loop isolation transformer. Radio Shack made a stereo one for around fifteen dollars but don't think Radio Shack is in business any longer.
