Thanks, I am familiar with that page.  My hope was that there could be a link (button?) within this forum to bring you to that page without having to remember a specific URL. Or some forums have "sticky" topics that remain at the top of the list of topics and the link you reference above could be put in one.  Maybe this forum provider (Simple Machines ?) does not provide such a feature?

Only by saving a copy of the file you just normalised (which you can do by right-clicking on the filename and selecting 'Save a copy').  Make sure that 'Save corrections' is checked.

The waveform display for the saved copy then shows the result of normalising (and any other filters you have applied).

But you should trust VinylStudio's normalisation algorithm.  It wont clip, even at 0dB.

Then select Windows or Macintosh to see the latest version for your particular platform.

Hmmm.  What does it say in the yellow box, is it still recording or does VinylStudio think it has reached the end of the album side?

I think it's unlikely we will do this.  The window title is adequate, in our view.

Please note though that VinylStudio Pro can copy or move albums between collections.  There's a video about that on our tutorials page:

I should have been more specific.  I was hoping that there was a spot or link in the forum pages that gave the current version.  Even a link to the page you reference could be helpful.

Maybe I missed it but is there a spot on these web pages where I can see what the current version is?  I realize this can be checked in the software via a Check for Update and About screens.  I thought it might be useful to prominently display it here too.

Technical Support / Collection Identification

Last post by bshonbeck - September 26, 2025, 04:34:49 PM

I'm fairly new at this (120+ albums) and just ran into a minor issue with Collections.  Yesterday I created a second collection for my wife's music and imported a single WAV file that I had done a decade ago in Audacity.  All went smoothly, a testament to this software's design.  However this morning I was continuing with adding to my collection and forgot that my wife's collection was the last one in use.  So when I recorded the album, it went into her collection, requiring me to do the collection album transfer procedure. 

Here's where I think a simple improvement could be made.  On the Record page, could there be a banner of some sort to highlight what collection the recording will be going to?  Yes, the title at the very top of the page does show the collection file name but it is not exactly prominent.  When doing work among multiple collections, it would be real helpful to have the active collection prominently displayed.
