That is correct.  The best workflow is to drag the tracks for side 1 (and side 2) and then those for side 2.

To be clear I believe it only moves the track break that is being moved and all those that come after the one you are dragging.

Sorry, what is your question?  Different cartridges do have different output levels, and some makers document what it is.

Try dragging the first track break marker while holding down the Alt key.  That moves the markers as a group.

Discogs timings are often not accurate. Also It depends on how much run in and run out you have recorded.

I don't think there is anyway one can move the music relative to the ticks. Which would be probably over egging VinylStudio. We have Audacity

Technical Support / Recording Levels

Last post by dweinberg - April 12, 2025, 01:18:03 PM

Hello Paul,

I replaced my cartridge a few months ago. Since doing so, I have noticed a reduction in the recording dB levels with VinylStudio. Where before, I would raise the recording level to ~88 which would the right setting without clipping, sometimes the next level (I think 95- I'm not with the computer that has the software...)

I have the turntable back in for service as I've noticed that since the replacement of the cartridge, the tone arm twists slightly :| and the recording level is much lower - never getting above ~50db with the slider set to 100. What is the best illustration showing the output. Is it my "output" attachment.

I'd like to show the tech the before and after charts. Which would be the best? Is it the attached "output" or is there another that will better make the point?

Thanks,

David

OK, can you collect some diagnostic information for me please?  That should show me what's holding things up.

Please proceed as follows:

1.  From the Finder menu, select Go -> Utilities.

2.  Launch Activity Monitor.

3.  Get VinylStudio into its frozen state.

4.  In Activity Monitor, select VinylStudio in the list of running processes.

5.  Click on the 'gear wheel' icon in the Activity Monitor toolbar and select 'Sample Process'..

6.  When sampling completes, save the sample to a file and email me that file.

You can send it to p DOT sanders AT alpinesoft DOT co DOT uk

Thanks

Are you recording to an external drive?  Problems with that would cause this.
