Technical Support / Re: Clips During Recording vs ...
Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - October 27, 2025, 12:27:45 AMYes, we did make a (minor) change, but the algorithm for detecting clips is not the same in the two places in the code, so you will still see a discrepancy.

Last post by bshonbeck - October 26, 2025, 04:00:42 PMDid this change make it into the latest release? I did not see it listed and wondered if it came under the "A few other bug fixes and improvements" category.

Last post by bshonbeck - October 26, 2025, 02:51:27 PMAhhh, it is obvious once you point it out. I guess I was expecting to find a summary of the preamp factors applied to each side, much like the popup that is shown when the normalization process completes. But having it available in some form is very helpful.

Technical Support / Re: Collection Identification
Last post by bshonbeck - October 26, 2025, 02:37:21 PMAt the risk of beating a dead horse, I fully understand LateJunction's frustration. His point was that the Collection in use be 'very clear'. When you are working on a large screen and dealing with the various popup windows that nicely lead you through the process of ripping, having the Collection name tucked away in the top left corner of the screen is not 'very clear' IMHO. That setting is central to the ripping you are doing at that moment, as important as any of the other features on the Record New Album popup.
And now I'll get off the soapbox...
In spite of this, you have an awesome product!

It does! It's in the title bar of the window at all times.
> A video on how to move a collection and its included albums from one drive to another would be useful
There's one on our tutorials page:

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - October 26, 2025, 02:06:26 PMHi,
Sorry for the delay - I missed this.
I think you're talking about the position of the Preamp sliders, and to see these for (say) side 2, just select side 2 from the dropdown in the Cleanup Audio window.

Last post by LateJunction - October 26, 2025, 11:03:41 AMI assume that, in the final analysis, the functional changes you make to VS must reflect, to some degee, the feedback you receive in this forum. I would like to comment on this specific aspect ('Collection Identification'):
Even after all these years of using VS (because there is no comparable alternative), I still stumble over the problems caused by failing to open the intended collection before I start recording a new album. Also, being intellectually incapable of understanding the value of 'rtfm' (or video in this case), I recently tried my own approach to moving an album from an inappropriate collection. After a day of trying this method I decided it was quicker to re-record the album and then spend another few hours clearing up the mess within VS's 'database' that I had made.
All this coould have been avoided if the product had made it very clear to me what collection I was working in.
As an adjunct problem, I just discovered the issue of making a recording after a very long break from using VS. After a rebuild of the laptop I use for VS I started afresh with newly purchased VS Premium but forgot about the defaults used by VS (and documented well, it must be said). So I ended up with my recording in a collection called 'My Albums', within a folder called 'My Recordings', in the documents folder on my C drive - where none of the other 250+ albums I have recorded reside (on a large external drive). Fortunately, with the information you have documented in the Help file, I did finally relocate these recordings. A video on how to move a collection and its included albums from one drive to another would be useful
