I don't think NAD have made a great job of marketing it 🤷�♂️

Ahh! Wonder why that never turned up in any of my searches? Looks like just the thing. I appreciate your response!

They are all rubbish.  Something like the NAD PP 4 with a conventional turntable (maybe second hand) is the way to go.

The NAD controls the level via a knob on the front.

Technical Support / Turntable recommendations for ...

Last post by jveezer - April 14, 2024, 04:15:09 PM

I have a Audio Technica LP120-USB turntable, which seems to be a "USB Device" that does not allow level adjustment, which even the cheapest tapedecks had in the days of cassettes. What is the use of that? The one attempt I made to convert to mp3 files resulted in very low level, very treble-ly files that were unlistenable. Maddeningly, in searching the internet I haven't found one USB turntable whose specs tell me whether this seemingly important feature is part of their capabilities. I'm (trying to) use VinylStudio on a Mac.

Can anyone point me to turntables (or other components) that will allow me to make high quality mp3s, or preferable FLAC, files from my vinyl? Bonus points if the turntables are still available new on the market and if they are not in the four figure range...

Thanks!

I'm a software dev (boring enterprise stuff)  by trade so I had to do it right - and get the data small enough to get the zip small enough

I think I have found a situation where VS actually introduces clicks.
If you:

• Unzip the attached zip file,
• Open Defect001.mcf
• In the Cleanup Audio Tab, click on Scan Recording For Clicks with:

• Sensitivity of 3
• Percussion Protection of 3

And audible click is produced on the marker at 00:00.572

Ah right, sounds like a bug.  Quick fix: drag the album sides around in the Split Tracks window, eliminate the missing side.

Technical Support / Not saving

Last post by Sonvolt - April 06, 2024, 09:17:59 PM

Hi Paul,

On 14.05 beta 2 , I get an error when saving tracks  (screenshot attached) with my way of recording albums.

A single album I would record as 1 file (side one only) , and a double I would record album 1 as side as 1 and the second album as side 3. This was never an issue before but now I get an error as can't find side 2  so tracks are not saved. I can resolve by changing to record each side seperate but maybe an easy fix to ignore the misssing  side like it used to.
N.B. I did try and delete the missing side 2 to see if that would allow me to save  but it deleted the complete recording

Regards
Ken

Should do.  That's the intention anyway, suggest blind listening test.  Any clips detected are shown in the corrections list, so you can quickly and easily see if the scan actually did anything (and if it didn't but you still see flat tops then please talk to us).
