Title: MP3 / WAV stored separately
Post by: amgard on April 10, 2009, 05:19:32 PM
I'm a very new user, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.

I want to transfer my tapes and vinyl in the best quality possible, and burn the best to CDs, so I choose to transfer and split tracks to WAV format. I do want to save some tracks to my MP3 player, and need to convert to MP3 to do this.

I would like to save the split WAV tracks in a separate folder to the split MP3 tracks, say:

D:\AnalogueTransfers\WAV\Artist\Album\etc...
D:\AnalogueTransfers\MP3\Artist\Album\etc...

is this possible, (yet)? - would you consider adding it in future?

I would think a good place for this option would be in the WAV and MP3 options, where the options at the moment seem to be based on quality of transfer only.

( congratulations on a superb product btw  :) :) )

No, it isn't possible, although I can see it might be handy on occasion.   But why do you want to save your split-up tracks as WAV files?  This isn't necessary to burn audio CD's - VinylStudio takes care of all that behind the scenes.

To summarise:
  - record to WAV format (to get the best quality)
  - save tracks in MP3 format to download to your iPod or similar
  - burn CD's whenever you feel like it

Steps 2 and 3 are independent of each other.  Audio CD's will be always burned in high quality, whether or not have saved your tracks in MP3 format.  VinylStudio can also burn MP3 CDs. but that's another story.

HTH.  Glad you like the program.

Ah! - I hadn't realised that the tracks are split automatically for burning a CD without saving as separate WAV tracks first.

many thanks
