What's New?

We continue to add new features to VinylStudio.

Here's what's new in version 10:

Version 10 splits VinylStudio into two versions - VinylStudio Standard and VinylStudio Pro. There are also a couple of bug fixes and one new feature, please see the readme file, either now or after installing.

And here's what's new in version 9:

Major changes:

  • Easier initial startup process for new users.
  • In the Windows version (only), we have switched to a larger font for the user interface. This, and the background, are now configurable by the user, see Menu -> Options -> Change Font and Background.
  • The Mac version is now 64 bit. It does, however, still run on 32 bit machines.
  • VinylStudio now uses multiple threads (in parallel) when saving your tracks. This can result in a considerable speedup on multi-core machines.
  • VinylStudio can now group saved tracks into folders by artist and album title on data CDs and DVDs. This is useful for DVD players that can only handle a limited number of files in any one folder.
  • Creating an album when you start recording or import a sound file has been streamlined. It should now be more obvious what to do, especially for new users, with fewer popups.
  • VinylStudio can now read and write cue sheets (not available in VinylStudio Lite).
  • Due to changes in Amazon policy we have been forced to remove the Amazon databases from the lookup track listing function. Sorry about that, but Discogs is better anyway.

Minor changes:

  • Improved functionality when importing multiple audio files - you can now add to existing album sides whereas before you had to always start from side 1.

  • When inserting a track break you can now tell VinylStudio to split the current track (rather than adding a track at the end) by holding down the Alt / Option key.
  • Improved the accuracy of the rumble filter.
  • Spectral View is faster, especially on multi-core machines.
  • Better support for input devices that switch automatically between PCM and DoP.
  • Support for PCM768k and DSD512 recording and playback formats.
  • Implemented 'Fade to Middle' - generates a convenient fade between tracks automatically when the end marker and following start marker have been moved apart.
  • More accurate recording level indicators.
  • By popular request, when recording the 'Stop' button now flashes, thus making it easier to identify.
  • On Windows, VinylStudio now supports IMAPIv2 for burning CDs and DVDs (as well as IMAPIv1 and StarBurn). This will help people who cannot use the existing 'burning engines' for some reason.
  • Implemented shortcut keys to save (5) and restore (6) the current zoom level and cursor position in the Split Tracks and Cleanup Audio windows.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed the help text display in the Check Level dialog on Windows (this was scrolled to the end, which in turn was confusing).
  • Fixed a problem declicking DSD files.
  • Correctly remember 'Last settings used' when scanning for clicks.
  • Worked around a problem with track names not showing up on iOS in Albums view when saving tracks in MP3 format.
  • Fixed a problem with the 'Browse folder' link when saving singles.
  • Fixed a problem saving OGG files with non-ASCII characters in the file name (they were always saved, regardless of whether they had been saved before).
