General Discussion / Deleting silence after last tr...
Last post by pnckeealaska - Today at 12:54:48 AM
How do I delete the chunk of silence between the time the music ends on the last side and when I press "stop" on the recording? Is there a way to select that portion and simply delete that block of time?

Hi,

That sounds like the wrong Input Device setting.  Are there any others?

Hi,

Personally, I use a cross-fade, but another way is to use a player that has gapless playback, such as JRiver.

Hi,

Scanning for clicks is way more subtle than that!  You'd be surprised what's audible and what isn't.

I wouldn't worry too much about this.  If you zoom in, you will see that the repairs are very small and I doubt you can hear them.  A blind listening test would confirm.

General Discussion / How to split tracks that seque

So I'm wanting to digitize the Beatles album Abbey Road, but am wondering how to handle side 2 with all of the tracks that sequence into one another? Any advice?

Hi Paul.
I might have misled you. In the Input Device Drop down it doesn't show VinylStudio.It shows .

Use default recording device(currently "WHAT U HEAR" on Sound Blaster Audigy 5/Rx)
"WHAT U HEAR" on Sound Blaster Audigy 5/Rx.
Microphone on USBMIC1
Loopback (What U Hear)

 When i open Change Playback Device the speakers from the soundcard come up and i can hear the test tune from Vinylstudio through them. Any way i will wait till after Christmas to fix the problem. For some reason the signal from the Turntable just isn't getting to the Software. It tells me it's recording but the VU Meters aren't moving . I choose the LP and get the names of the songs in the search ,some times it comes up with all the information and other times it doesn't.I am pretty sure that i have followed the instructions on how to set it up to record a LP.
Regards
Brian. Merry Christmas

General Discussion / Click removal thoughts

Since I just upgraded to premium, I feel I deserve one more inane thought about digitizing LPs :)

I notice when doing a click scan that even with very conservative scan settings vinylstudio always detects way, way, way, more clicks than I hear when listening to the rip.

So I wonder, is vinylstudio trying to fix these inaudible (to my ears) clicks and therefore stepping on the rip unnecessarily?

If so, should there be an "amplitude" threshold for click repair?  If it is inaudible, we shouldn't step on the rip?

p.s. Happy Holidays to all music lovers and to Paul for making a really excellent program. It takes a _lot_ of talent to build something like vinylstudio!

I have been very happy with my IFI ZEN phono preamp.  Very reasonably priced, supports low and high MC as well as MM cartridges, and has a rumble filter.

Sounds incredible to my ears with an AT OC9 XEN MC cartridge...

Hi,

I'm a bit confused.  What does VinylStudio display in the Input Device dropdown in the Check Level dialog?  Do any of those work?

Hello.
I posted a question before about purchasing a Pre-Amp. I have got one and hooked it up now my Vinyl Studio doesn't recognise it. It recognises my Soundcard as Input and Output but no Pre-Amp in the drop down box for Input.
The way it's connected is . Single cord from AUX into Turntable to Red & White Male RCA plugs into phono in on Pre-Amp then Red& White Male RCA plugs from Line Out on Pre-Amp into single cord to Line In on Soundcard. I can hear music from my LP when i run the Turntable through my Soundcard. Should i remove my Souncard.
Any Suggestions would be helpful.
Regards
Brian
