Technical Support / Listen to Just the Noise - Or ...
Last post by Andy Morris - Today at 05:45:55 PMBefore I switched to Vinyl Studio my previous workflow was a hack of Audacity and ClickRepair, and its associated DeNoise program.
While Vinyl Studio is a lot quicker and smother to use, there is one thing I can't see how to do is get an indication of if I have over restored the whole record of just some sections.
In my hacked up workflow I was able to save an export of the whole album, after normalisation (and equalisation for 78s), do the restoration work, de-clicking and noise removal, save an export of the end result.
Then in Audacity I could Import both files, invert the second, mic the two together to get a track with just the noise.
I found this useful in two ways.
Is there anyway of doing this in VinylStudio?

- If you could follow the tune in the noise, you had probably over processed it.
- By looking at the bits of the track where the noise was most visible, you could spot where Dave had really gone for the rims shots or the ride cymbals and maybe turn the correction down a bit there.

Technical Support / Re: Moving my Collection to Di...
Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - May 09, 2026, 04:52:16 PMNot really - all your 'raw' recordings have to be copied across.
If you have VinylStudio Pro (or Premium), you can do it from the Batch window. There is a video about that on our tutorials page:

Last post by Indy33 - May 09, 2026, 04:02:08 AMOK, so I found my answer in the thread linked to below.
https://www.alpinesoft.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=37.msg57#msg57
Would it not make sense to put this option in the Settings window, instead of going to the File/Open Collection or maybe both locations>

Technical Support / Moving my Collection to Differ...
Last post by Indy33 - May 09, 2026, 03:36:10 AMI'm reconfiguring my VS setup, moving things to a different computer. I don't see how to change where my ""Second Collection" is stored. The path listed in the graphic is the old setup. Clicking on File Explorer only views where it is presently stored, but does not allow me to change it.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - May 08, 2026, 11:07:54 PMOk, hope it helps.
You probably already know this, but there is a free tool out there called Zoomit which you might find useful. And some others, no doubt.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - May 08, 2026, 08:39:41 PMHi,
The problem is that the minimum height of the Record window determines the minimum height of the app. You might, however, have some success by changing the font or font size that VinylStudio uses. You can do this via Menu -> Options -> Change Font and Background.

Last post by Indy33 - May 08, 2026, 08:23:48 PMCORRECTION TO ABOVE POST:
My primary monitor scaling was actually set to 150%, not 125%.
I finally figured out my problem, it was my dual monitors. I was only resetting scale and text size on my secondary monitor.
When I set scaling from 150% to 125%, then I can see everything. But I cannot adjust the windows size smaller for VS.
Could that be fixed, my vision is 20/200 and I need the larger size.

Technical Support / VS Screen Size w/ Remote Deskt...
Last post by Indy33 - May 08, 2026, 05:16:48 PMI'm using remote desktop to the VS computer. The VS window is too tall such that I cannot see everything. I can adjust the width, but NOT the height. I get the resize arrow, but it will only go taller, not smaller.
I previously had Windows scale and text size set to 125% on both computers, but have reset them to 100%. This did not help.
Any ideas?

Technical Support / Re: Roku 3 and Plex
Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - May 07, 2026, 11:12:05 AMHmmm, OK.
You might be best advised to resort to high quality MP3 then. VBR 0 is a good setting to use if your Roku supports it, otherwise use CBR 320.
