Is it correct that the detector in the Cleanup Audio window is accurate (since it deals with the actual digitized waveform and there is no headroom above 0db) and the one in the Recording window is more conservative, thus potentially indicating more clips?

I am sure there must be technical reasons why they can not be the same but it sure would be nice if they were.

Yes, we did make a (minor) change, but the algorithm for detecting clips is not the same in the two places in the code, so you will still see a discrepancy.

OK, we'll add something to the 'Create / Record new album' dialog.

Did this change make it into the latest release?  I did not see it listed and wondered if it came under the "A few other bug fixes and improvements" category.

Ahhh, it is obvious once you point it out.  I guess I was expecting to find a summary of the preamp factors applied to each side, much like the popup that is shown when the normalization process completes.  But having it available in some form is very helpful.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I fully understand LateJunction's frustration.  His point was that the Collection in use be 'very clear'.  When you are working on a large screen and dealing with the various popup windows that nicely lead you through the process of ripping, having the Collection name tucked away in the top left corner of the screen is not 'very clear' IMHO.  That setting is central to the ripping you are doing at that moment, as important as any of the other features on the Record New Album popup.

And now I'll get off the soapbox...

In spite of this, you have an awesome product!

> All this could have been avoided if the product had made it very clear to me what collection I was working in

It does!  It's in the title bar of the window at all times.

> A video on how to move a collection and its included albums from one drive to another would be useful

There's one on our tutorials page:

Hi,

Sorry for the delay - I missed this.

I think you're talking about the position of the Preamp sliders, and to see these for (say) side 2, just select side 2 from the dropdown in the Cleanup Audio window.
