General Discussion / Viewing Discogs track list whi...
Last post by wallewek - March 15, 2026, 06:00:53 PMPardon if this has been answered previously.
When I lookup an album on Discogs, the popup help seems to imply that I can keep that list when recording and splitting that album. That list is sometimes helpful when splitting, but it doesn't appear to be possible to keep the list open when recording. Am I missing something, or is that just how it is?
Thanks!

Because if it's not done right it's noticeable. And if I didn't care about that, why rip it at all?
When there's a repeating segment, if I clip it out cleanly it's inaudible. And that should be possible. It's just a little challenging to get the start and end points right with no marker. Ideally it would work like track start/end markers.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - March 14, 2026, 05:14:51 PMHi,
'Calling out' to Audacity is not really viable, I'm afraid. You can, however, locate your 'raw' recordings in VinylStudio by right-clicking on the file name in either the Split Tracks or Cleanup Audio windows and selecting 'View in File Explorer' (or 'View in Finder', on the Mac).

Last post by wallewek - March 14, 2026, 04:58:04 PMHey, here's an off-the-wall idea. VinylStudio and Audacity are very different, but can be complementary. VS is amazing for ripping vinyl; Audacity is a "Swiss Army knife" for editing audio, including plugin support and other editing tools.
So, maybe if VS could "call" Audacity to edit a given album, you wouldn't need to implement RX plugins at all.
When I did this on my "rescue" album, the biggest hassle I had was figuring out where exactly the original whole-album file was so I could open it with Audacity. Of course I had to redo the split, but that was easy on the clean album. I wasn't able to find a place in the VinylStudio interface which clearly stated where the raw recording was located, and the documented examples were of limited use because I don't use default locations.
This feels very much like your article "How to record on one PC and split tracks on another". I'm going to give it another read in that sense.

Last post by wallewek - March 14, 2026, 02:37:56 PMThanks. I also found that using ( and ) to jump exactly one rotation really helped.
Fortunately using the yellow markers and ^X and ^Z for testing the cut-and splice works reasonably well to allow choosing whether I've selected the exact right spot, undo and try again. It's just not as precise as the track split markers.
Too bad there's no way to use the track split markers as a non-split skip. They work so nicely to trim noise between tracks, making it so easy to be precise. I kind of mulled over the idea of making a temporary track split to allow precisely skipping the bad spot, deleting that spot and undoing the slit, but...
The splicing works well though.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - March 14, 2026, 05:06:42 AMOK, we'll take a look at supporting, in particular, the iZotope plugin. It sounds like a handy gadget.
