I know, but people sometimes hide things by mistake or because they think it doesn't matter, and a missing .mcf file is a 5 alarm fire.

Thanks for the suggestion Paul, I will give it a go.

I wasn't suggesting that you suppress the message altogether, just give the user a tick box option to suppress it if required.

Hi,

There's an easier way to achieve what you want without upsetting VinylStudio.  Try this:

1.  Create your collection.

2.  Create, record, split and save your album.

3.  Delete your album.

4.  Repeat from #2.

We certainly won't be suppressing that message - it is far too important!

Technical Support / Start up options

Hi All,

I am a new user of VinylStudio (Premium), purchased to be able to digitize my LP collection in DSD format using an RME ADI-2 Pro.

The way I use it, I don't really like the concept of collections, I just want to record an album and split it into individual tracks. After I have done this, I usually delete the working folder. The consequence of this is that when I start VinylStudio for the next project, I get an message telling me that the previous collection can not be found.

Is there an option to suppress this message on startup? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the options menu. If not, could it be added in a future update?

Hi,

Other things being equal, no it won't.  All it does is adjust the preamp sliders, based on the original signal.

Thanks for this.  Believe me, we put a lot of time into fine tuning VinylStudio's click scanner, and amplitude of the waveform is a poor metric for detecting clicks.

As for comparing channels, again, I don't think that would be a reliable indicator that a potential click really is a click.  But thanks for your input.

Technical Support / Normalise Twice ???

If I normalise an album but forget and normalise again will the 2nd normalise make any changes to the 1st normalise waveform???

Hi,

I don't really see any benefit in this.  The way VinylStudio works is that any change can be easily undone, so I think it's easier to 'suck it and see'.

General Discussion / Waveform Display Suggestion
Last post by GDGrass - February 03, 2025, 09:29:16 PM
I clean my records before recording in Vinyl Studio using an ultrasonic machine followed by vacuum drying but sometimes the recording still has way too many clicks – beyond attempting to repair.  At this point there is no easy way to determine how much gain is achieved by re-cleaning other than performing an auto click repair on both recordings using the same settings to compare the number of clicks.  If after re-cleaning and re-recording you could compare the waveforms of the two recordings you could actually see the benefit gained or not and perhaps make a decision as to how aggressively you should be on any additional cleaning operations if warranted.
