RE: Vinyl Studio

[JOHN RIEHL]

Hi, Matthew. I'm interested in converting LPs to digital but don't have a 
program or the equipment, other than a good desktop. Perhaps we could talk 
off-line re tips on how to get started; first, hat's a VPI machine?
Thanks for your help. John

There are plenty of machines out there that will help with this. I think they 
start at around a hundred dollars, but not sure. Mine is a VPI machine that 
costs just over a thousand, but then I have over eight hundred records.

Re: Vinyl Studio

[Dane Trethowan]

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.

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.

Well burn it to CD or just plain collect it for time ever more, makes a lot 
more sense to use something like this rather than Sound Forge, Audacity etc and 
that's where Apps written for a dedicated task stand out from the crowd.

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.

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

Sounds really nice as my father which passed on in july this year had a lot of 
vinyl records.
One thing i would like to know is if you can recommend a good vinyl player and 
equipment to connect to the mac?

Re: Vinyl Studio

[Matthew Bullis]

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

[Dane Trethowan]

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.

Re: Vinyl Studio

[Dane Trethowan]

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.

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
