The latest Beta is version V14.0.5 Beta 2.  You can get it here:

https://www.alpinesoft.co.uk/VinylStudio/VSInstall_Beta.exe (Windows)

https://www.alpinesoft.co.uk/VinylStudio/VinylStudio-Installer-Beta.pkg (Mac - Sierra and later)

If you need an installer package for El Capitan or earlier, please contact us for assistance.

If you purchased from the Mac App Store, the changes are not in that version yet.  Please wait while we get the software through App Store review.

If you are using VinylStudio Lite (as supplied with the NAD PP-4), you can also install from the above links.


Changes in this version:

• Fixed (finally!) problems saving tracks from DSD recordings.

I tested it today and it worked like a charm! Thanks Paul!!!

Technical Support / Save Cleaned Audio Tracks

Last post by brainstewn - April 16, 2024, 04:08:12 PM

I am working a Neil Diamond album. The automatic cleaned audio is so much better. As I understand it I am doing the following steps: 1) adjust all the track breaks in the original audio, 2) Scan for clicks, 3) Save tracks.

Does this process save the cleaned audio using the track markers in the original audio?

Nothing useful - it's a sham and VinylStudio bypasses it.

What happens if you adjust the volume in Sound Settings -> Device properties?

I don't think NAD have made a great job of marketing it 🤷�♂️

Ahh! Wonder why that never turned up in any of my searches? Looks like just the thing. I appreciate your response!

They are all rubbish.  Something like the NAD PP 4 with a conventional turntable (maybe second hand) is the way to go.

The NAD controls the level via a knob on the front.

Technical Support / Turntable recommendations for ...

Last post by jveezer - April 14, 2024, 04:15:09 PM

I have a Audio Technica LP120-USB turntable, which seems to be a "USB Device" that does not allow level adjustment, which even the cheapest tapedecks had in the days of cassettes. What is the use of that? The one attempt I made to convert to mp3 files resulted in very low level, very treble-ly files that were unlistenable. Maddeningly, in searching the internet I haven't found one USB turntable whose specs tell me whether this seemingly important feature is part of their capabilities. I'm (trying to) use VinylStudio on a Mac.

Can anyone point me to turntables (or other components) that will allow me to make high quality mp3s, or preferable FLAC, files from my vinyl? Bonus points if the turntables are still available new on the market and if they are not in the four figure range...

Thanks!
