Technical Support / Can't get custom tags to work
Last post by Muberos - August 30, 2025, 09:46:46 PM
Hi All,

I'm using Vinylstudio Pro 15.0.2 to digitize my LP collection. I record each side of the LP as a single file on one PC, then transfer them to another PC for splitting into individual DSF tracks and then tagging with MP3Tag

I have been trying to have some fixed custom tags added to every album I create, but they are not appearing in the tracks when saved.

As an example, one of the tags I created is called CATEGORY and I have set the default to DSDV but when I save the tracks and look with MP3Tag, it isn't there.

Have I misunderstood the use of custom tags? or am I missing a step somewhere? I have ticked the option to include custom tags on the save tracks dialog and added them via the custom tag editor, but cannot get them to be saved in the tracks.

Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Oh I don't believe it is anything to do with vinylstudio.  I do run the I7 machine overclocked, that could be a contributing factor...

I have a KORG and it doesn't glitch, so I don't know what's going on there.

Review seems awesome:

If I did not already have the KORG I would jump on it.  MINIDSP has a totally stellar reputation in the digital processor community...

I had 32gig ram in the machine so I doubt the glitches were due to a ram issue.  I think processing power or some windows sound vs. KORG driver issue, or maybe even USB bandwidth issue.
Does seem like most- or all - of these issues could be avoided when proprietary driver is not needed.

For example, this is a brand new ADC, with digital phono EQ built in, and review was awesome:

Paul,

Quote from: Paul Sanders (AlpineSoft) on January 10, 2009, 02:10:28 PM7a.  When prompted, select the 'Copy file to recordings folder' option, then click OK.

8.  VinylStudio will then copy the file across the network, resulting in a copy on the processing PC (which is what you want).[/url]

Step 7b
I like to set the option to combine multiple files into ONE file It's directly under the option to "Copy files to recording folder". This makes for a very large file, but it's never been a problem Windows 10.

It just seems easier to keep track of my albums in the recording folder this way.

Respectively I've had a different experience.

I'm not having a problem with it eating up ram, the most I saw just now while recording DSD1128 was 146 MB.

I can't say for sure I've had Firefox open in the past 3 years while recording, but I've not noticed any skips.

Also on Windows 10 and 32MB ram and I7-8 core. It's running  my surveillance  software "Blue Iris" 24/7. After a reboot I have 202 processes running.

How much ram is yours using and number of processes?

The DAC does make excellent DSD rips and the headphone amp sounds fine also.  Just wish the proprietary KORG windows drivers were less of a hog.
If I had to do it again, I would buy and external ADC like the musicians use for recording...

Thanks Paul. My issue is that I'm not changing that setting between recordings, it seems to be a random thing. Let me do some more observation to get you better details.
