General Discussion / Re: Viewing Discogs track list...
Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - March 16, 2026, 12:59:48 AMHi,
I find this question a little confusing, but you must close the popup before you can record, if that's what you're asking.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - March 15, 2026, 08:20:58 PMHe's right, it's more difficult to get a cut exactly right. There is a trick to it though:
1. Make your best guess and put in the cut.
2. Listen to the result.
3. If it's not good enough, undo the cut (Ctrl+Z) and drag the appropriate edge(s) of the selection.
4. Repeat the cut (X).
5. Repeat from step 2 until it's exactly right.

I don't understand, are you using a selection (Yellow highlight). It's no different than dragging track breaks. But I'm sure you already know this.

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.
