General Discussion / Re: Music Recognition Software
Last post by Indy33 - Today at 12:26:43 AMI can still find the albums on Discogs, but that is never exactly right. It always requires manual adjustment.
Where I really have trouble with is when there is NO dead space between tracks. The music just blends from one song to the next. It's not obvious where the song should be divided. I've used Shazam on my phone a few times, but that requires pulling my headphone off some so that the phone can pickup the music.

General Discussion / Re: Music Recognition Software
Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - July 01, 2025, 11:35:10 PMInteresting thought, I'll take a look. Presumably, you're not able to find those albums in Discogs or Music Brainz so you have to do all the track splitting by hand.

General Discussion / Music Recognition Software
Last post by Indy33 - June 29, 2025, 11:22:04 PMTrying to decide when one song ends and another begin can be a big headache on live performances and classical music.
I've come across a few that might work .....
Song Kong, Jaikoz and AcousticBrainz. Interestingly, the first two are from the same company.
I want to do this without a microphone, so the software will have to look at the songs digital footprint. This would have to use a database with the songs footprints. I think that's what AcousticBrainz does for other software, but not sure.
Anyone aware of any software that can do this?
Sounds like a NEW FEATURE for Vinyl Studio. What say you Paul, sounds like an interesting new challenge.

Technical Support / Re: Scan for Track Breaks does...
Last post by Chris115v - June 28, 2025, 02:17:22 AMI use the scanner when Discogs does not have track times - so I have the list of track names but no breaks.
I'll try adjusting the params if it happens again. I have them adjusted to where they get as close to where I want them, but they are not too far off from the defaults.
What about some code to attempt to stop this runaway situation from happening?

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - June 27, 2025, 09:08:43 PMHi,
Are you not able to find these albums on Discogs?
If not, you can try some combination of increasing the minimum track length, increasing the minimum gap length and increasing the threshold start level.

Last post by Chris115v - June 27, 2025, 04:09:17 AMSometimes when i'm scanning for track breaks when there are none existing, it goes off the rails and starts creating an infinite (?) number of tracks next to each other. Screen recording below. I missed the point where it went off the rails. Also not sure what i do to stop it.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - June 26, 2025, 09:44:46 PMHi,
Two things come to mind:
1. You might like to use the 'Normalise each track separately' option to see if that improves things.
2. VinylStudio's normalisation algorithm is fairly basic. We do plan to work on this when time permits.

Last post by Roy_Boy_3345 - June 26, 2025, 06:29:24 PMI forgot to mention that I normalized each record side independently for both records. My judgement was based on the first track on side one for each record

General Discussion / Normalization and output volum...
Last post by Roy_Boy_3345 - June 26, 2025, 05:50:37 PMI have ripped two versions of the same album to 24/352 via my RME ADI-2 Pro. The album in question is an OG version of Heart - Dreamboat Annie and the recent MoFi 45RPM version. Both albums were normalized to -1 db. However when I play them back via my Lumin A1 streamer/dac the newer MoFi requires much more volume gain to reach the same playback volume as the OG. The only thing I can think of that might cause this is the MoFi version having less compression. Any other ideas that might cause this? I will also add that I recently upgraded to the pro version of VInylStudio so the two records were ripped at different times with different versions. Thanks for any insights.
