General Discussion / Re: 14.0.4 In general
Last post by bjornvinyl - April 04, 2024, 01:46:48 PM
Thanks Steve, for pointing me in the right direction. I've used the Patch methods before with varying results so this will be interesting when I come across a more extended scratch. I'm also impressed that you cleaned 10 albums in a day! After doing the overall scan how do you find the damages that need extra attention? I usually listen with headphones, but ten albums takes a very long time...

Also when looking for the Multiclick I noticed the clip scan. Paul, will this also help with compressed music? Sometimes I rip Blu-ray audio and import it into VinylStudio to do the track breaks. I've discovered that some recordings seems to put a very hard amplitude limit on the music, similar to clipping.

Yeah, it used to be done that way, but as the number of custom statuses (stati?) has been increased it was getting a bit unwieldy.  Anyway, muscle memory is a wonderful thing...

Well, kinda :) I had a run of clicking Track Saved instead of Tracks Split and thought that having an ordering like this might be helpful less painful for me:

Newly Added
Recorded
Tracks Split
Cleaned
Tracks Saved
Disc Burned

But I can live with it as it is...

Yes, it's a sequence of adjacent click repairs stitched together, basically.  We were surprised at how well it works.

Prefer not to - different people do different things.  As it is, they are in alphabetical order which makes it easy to find what you want.

I suppose we *could* let you drag them around, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

Could you order the status values in the dialog into the order they'd normally be for someone's workflow?

I do like the changes otherwise, they come into that category of thing you didn't know you needed then wonder how you managed without...

You can find it on the 'Patch' dialog on the cleanup tab.

Generally, I use low level automatic click removal (level 2) and then manually fix any remaining clicks on quieter sections of the recording. It works well, but I always struggled with those schripp,  shwoosh type noises and was applying (sometimes) 100+ very short manual repairs to remove them. Multi-click appears to be doing something like this but in a much more sophisticated fashion and with fine control over the level of effect.

I did the cleaning of around 10 albums yesterday and only needed to use multi-click on two albums, but it got rid of irritating, short, repeated, background noise that would have been impossible to remove otherwise.

You have to experiment, some noises can be dealt with through manual repair, sometimes other Patch algorithms work well, but I'm going to be making a lot of use of multi-click...

For me at least it's worth the price all on its own.

Hi, I'm excited about VinylStudio moving forward with new features and improved performance. I would love to know more about the Multiclick feature but cannot find much info. What is its main purpose and when should it be applied?

OK Basilo, this is a bug.

The *intended* behaviour (and V14.0.5 Beta 3 will fix this) is that, *if the filter includes 'Tracks Saved'*, then filtering is left enabled.  If not, the album would 'disappear', so filtering is cleared.

We will also include the number of status values you can filter on from 5 to 10.

I can't reproduce this problem.  Can you take me through the steps you went through please?  We must be doing different things.  Thanks.

1. set the filter looking for status: (no status), Newly Added, Recorded, Track Split and Cleaned
2. Save tracks, while saving, the filter is still applied and show only albums that have not been saved.
3. once its done saving files, but before closing the window showing the summary of the actions taken (XX tracks saved in X seconds...), the filter is reset and all albums are shown
