Technical Support / Re: Album Status Backup
Last post by Indy33 - August 18, 2026, 07:37:49 PMI followed your steps 1 and 2, this restored all my changes to the album status.
But why did this all change when I only re-imaged the C-Drive?

Technical Support / Re: Album Status Backup
Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - August 18, 2026, 06:50:01 PMWell, firstly I would not recommend storing your 'raw' recordings (aka your collection) in the same folder as your saved tracks, but I'll leave you to sort that one out.
So:
1. To open an existing collection, select 'Open Collection' from VinylStudio's File menu, and then navigate to the .mcf file representing that collection. Please note that the recordings themselves are stored in a sub-folder bearing the same name as the .mcf file, but without the extension.
2. To change the folder where VinylStudio stores your saved tracks, click on the 'Change' button in the Settings dialog.
Hopefully, that will sort you out.

Technical Support / Re: Album Status Backup
Last post by Indy33 - August 18, 2026, 05:23:25 PMYes, I read that help file a few days ago. Let me explain in more detail.
I have saved many images of the C-Drive of my local computer named "MusicServer" along the way while installing and configuring Windows 10. To get my RME ADI2 Pro FSR working again I had to return to an earlier image. I only restored an image of the C-Drive.
At the very top of the Settings window is the path below. This is an old location on the Game computer from many months ago. This path cannot be changed. See graphic below.
\\GAME\VinylStudioMusic\Second_Collection
Immediately below the "Your Saved Tracks Will Be Stored In
Folder" MusicServer(E:\VinylStudioMusic\My Collection) is another path that is shown below. This goes to an empty folder. This path cannot be changed. See graphic below.
MusicServer E:\VinylStudioMusic\My Collection\Second_Collection
I have obviously made several mistakes along the way. How do I get all these paths to agree with this path MusicSrever"E:\VinylStudioMusic\My Collection" shown in graphic below.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - August 18, 2026, 09:11:47 AMHi,
The information is stored in the .mcf file representing your collection.
There's a section in the VinylStudio Help file entitled 'Where are my Files Located' (under 'Importing and Exporting Files') which should help you locate this, and you can open the folder that contains it from VinylStudio's Settings dialog (Menu -> Options -> Settings, then go up one folder).

Technical Support / Album Status Backup
Last post by Indy33 - August 18, 2026, 01:37:01 AMI made several changes to the album status, but when I had to revert to an earlier image of the C Drive I lost those changes.
My question is where does this file reside and what is it called so I can backup this file?

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - August 09, 2026, 10:45:33 PMHi,
Yes, I would do just that. Mixing down to mono doesn't gain you much (apart from reducing the file size).

Last post by Chris115v - August 09, 2026, 08:59:50 PMI'm recording Horace Silver - The Trio Sides, and it's 2 (vinyl) discs. Sides 1 & 2 are mono, side 3 has both mono and stereo tracks, and side 4 is stereo. What's the best way to handle this? Just record it all in stereo?

Last post by westrock2000 - July 30, 2026, 02:54:42 PMQuote from: Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) on May 12, 2026, 07:09:32 PMPlease note also that you can toggle between listening to the corrected and uncorrected audio in the Cleanup Audio window by pressing C (or use the button in the toolbar).
I think it would be really nice, mostly for the clicks troubleshooting, to be able to listen to only the time periods of the wav file that have modifications applied to them. So then you could clearly hear the sections that are being modified, and then the user could toggle the corrected/uncorrected button to see what the change sounds like. Maybe add a option to hear 0.5 second or 1 second on either side of the modification period, since the modifications are usually very short duration.
