Technical Support / Collection Identification

Last post by bshonbeck - September 26, 2025, 04:34:49 PM

I'm fairly new at this (120+ albums) and just ran into a minor issue with Collections.  Yesterday I created a second collection for my wife's music and imported a single WAV file that I had done a decade ago in Audacity.  All went smoothly, a testament to this software's design.  However this morning I was continuing with adding to my collection and forgot that my wife's collection was the last one in use.  So when I recorded the album, it went into her collection, requiring me to do the collection album transfer procedure. 

Here's where I think a simple improvement could be made.  On the Record page, could there be a banner of some sort to highlight what collection the recording will be going to?  Yes, the title at the very top of the page does show the collection file name but it is not exactly prominent.  When doing work among multiple collections, it would be real helpful to have the active collection prominently displayed.

General Discussion / Frequency Analysis

Last post by Lttlwing16 - September 22, 2025, 01:03:34 PM

I've looked through the start guide but haven't been able to find what settings are used for the Frequency Analysis. Rectangular Window at 1024? Any ability to edit these settings?

Thanks!

Technical Support / Re: Record flip dialog/popup

Last post by Brooksguy - September 16, 2025, 03:23:14 PM

I did not uncheck "Wait for needle down." And I have left all the other settings at the defaults. The popup appears occasionally, randomly. I recorded 4 records last night, and on one of them the popup appeared. After that happened, I waited a full minute after the first side of the next record concluded to see it the popup would appear again, but it did not.

Hi,

Did you perhaps uncheck 'Wait for needle down'?  That would certainly explain this.

General Discussion / Feature Request in Cleanup Win...

Last post by Lttlwing16 - September 14, 2025, 09:58:20 PM

Curious if it would be possible to add two things to the list of corrections with an on/off checkbox on the bottom to toggle these, much like the PP and BP toggles. 

1) Track breaks in a addition to the start and end. A bonus would be have these a different text color in the correction list.

2) Left and Right channel corrections toggles -- I'd find it extremely helpful to be able to toggle corrections just for LEFT channel, scan them quickly using the next correction key, then switch to the RIGHT channel and do the same.  Prevents my eyes from having to keep jumping back and forth between channels during correction editing. Default state would have both channels enabled.

Many thanks!

Technical Support / Record flip dialog/popup

Last post by Brooksguy - September 12, 2025, 12:06:18 AM

I am a new VS user, using it to digitize LPs. The first few times I used it, a popup dialog appeared after the first side of the LP concluded, with instructions on how to proceed to record the second side. But after the first few times, this popup dialog has failed to appear again. I did not check a box to tell it not to appear again. I found the place to reset dialogs that had been disabled, and told it to reset, in case it was somehow accidentally disabled. But nothing has changed; still no mid-record dialog. I have been simply letting VS run in record mode, and quickly flipping the record and lowering the needle again. But I'm concerned that this does not give VS time to fully settle before the second side begins. How do I get the mid-record dialog back? Or do I even need to worry about it having gone missing? If it matters, I have the Pro version. Thanks for any help.

Last post by Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) - September 10, 2025, 08:21:46 PM

Actually, the exact numbers are unlikely to correspond because the way clips are detected differs in the two places.  But at least the same signal level is now being used.

The answer to your other question is 'how long is a piece of string?'  Maybe you can start recording and if you see the clip count going up reduce the recording level slightly.

Hi,

I would start one in the General Discussion forum.

Hi,

Most of what you ask for is not possible but there are a couple of tricks which might help you:

1.  There's a button to display the track break markers in the Cleanup Audio Window in the toolbar beneath the the waveform display.

2.  You can toggle between the Cleanup Audio and Split Tracks windows by pressing back tick (`).

So (for example), position the cursor in the Split Tracks window and then press `

Thanks Paul for the reply.

Is there a thread for feature requests? I have some ideas that I think would be easy to implement that would help my workflow a good bit.
