Technical Support / Track skip in Cleanup Window
Last post by Lttlwing16 - September 02, 2025, 01:19:56 AMFirst time posting, and want to say really appreciate the software. It has made converting my vinyl library much less painful!
That said, now that I'm getting into the groove of the software (pun intended), I had a question and/or request.
Is it possible to quickly move track to track in the cleanup window without switching back to the split tracks window? I've read the help file up and down and can't seem to find it.
Moreover, it would be great if the cleanup window could "lock" the current track as I'm working on it. This way I can jump to the beginning of the track with the keyboard shortcut I have setup for (<>). I can use the split track window to select the track and zoom to it, but cannot lock the track at its beginning and end time stamps.
Even indicators in the corrections list of where each track starts would be helpful.
An even bigger upgrade would be to have the option in the cleanup window to work on each track individually instead of per side.
Either way, really enjoying the software, and many thanks for the time and effort thus far!

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - September 01, 2025, 06:59:56 PMMaybe MP3Tag isn't reporting the tags. We definitely put them in there. Can you send me a file to check? You can upload it here:

Last post by Muberos - September 01, 2025, 01:11:03 PMIndy33, that's not the problem I'm having. I can tag the files just fine using MP3Tag, but I was trying to use the custom tag feature of Vinylstudio to populate some tags when I save the tracks after splitting them.

Technical Support / Side Markers Usage ?
Last post by bshonbeck - September 01, 2025, 12:55:47 PMI was wondering what additional use the Side Markers have (vertical dashed gray lines) other than to indicate where a needle up/down may have occurred. Are they actually just indicators where the recording was paused/stopped? Does the software use them to make any decisions or are they benign? I ask because I see instances where things I've done have caused extra Side Markers to appear (using Pause Record comes to mind). I couldn't find any detail in the manual other than that to remove them, the recording up to that point must be re-recorded. I've let them remain in the recording and have not experienced any issues from not eliminating them. Is there a reason to remove them?
As a VS Noob, I'm really enjoying VS's ease of use compared to the Audacity workflow I had used a decade ago. Great job Paul !!

Technical Support / Re: Turntable recommendations ...
Last post by bshonbeck - September 01, 2025, 12:32:19 PMI use a standard turntable plugged into a Parasound Zphono USB device. It is very well made, has a front level control that works on the USB output. It has both line and phono inputs, selectable RIAA equalization, selectable rumble filter, and selectable Mono output. It is AC powered so it doesn't load your USB port. No special drivers, just plug it in and it is recognized (future proof). It only digitizes to 44.1k and 48k I believe.

Last post by Indy33 - August 31, 2025, 06:19:34 PMYou might check into a software company called JThink, they have two programs for meta data. They are SongKong and Jaikoz.
It uses Music Brainz and Discogs, can do acoustic matching and a complete library at once. It does cost £50 / $67 for the pro version.

Technical Support / Can't get custom tags to work
Last post by Muberos - August 30, 2025, 09:46:46 PMHi All,
I'm using Vinylstudio Pro 15.0.2 to digitize my LP collection. I record each side of the LP as a single file on one PC, then transfer them to another PC for splitting into individual DSF tracks and then tagging with MP3Tag
I have been trying to have some fixed custom tags added to every album I create, but they are not appearing in the tracks when saved.
As an example, one of the tags I created is called CATEGORY and I have set the default to DSDV but when I save the tracks and look with MP3Tag, it isn't there.
Have I misunderstood the use of custom tags? or am I missing a step somewhere? I have ticked the option to include custom tags on the save tracks dialog and added them via the custom tag editor, but cannot get them to be saved in the tracks.
Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Last post by LtMandella - August 30, 2025, 02:02:10 AMOh I don't believe it is anything to do with vinylstudio. I do run the I7 machine overclocked, that could be a contributing factor...
