wav to flac

[dag nabbit]

records ripped to wav play fine. when saved to flac in MY MUSIC folder, all i get is noise. i'm perplexed. any ideas?

Hi,

Me too.  What are you using to play the files please?  We use the reference FLAC encoder (i.e. the one whch is most widely, if not exclusively, used by other software) so I wouldn't expect any issues with it.

records go from the turntable through a parasound zphono's usb to my laptop. the parasound has an riaa curve which i enable whilst disabling vinylstudio's. files are set to wav 44/16 and stored externally.while the wav's are in my recordings folder they play great. i use j river for playback.waspi event style works best for my normal setup, but when in vinylstudio, when i try to save a flac version to the computer and play it back thru j river,  all i get is noise. i must be doing something wrong during the save tracks process?

i suppose i could try converting to flac with another program. jriver or dbpoweramp. will try that tonight. and i'm still trying to figure out why my saved sides don't come out as a list of tracks instead of a single folder with the side in it. big sigh......

Hi,

Could you send me a sample FLAC file please?  I will see if it plays here.  Please keep it short - 10-15 seconds will do - to keep the filesize down, and send it to:

Thanks.

As for separating your tracks, it sounds like you are looking at the 'raw' recordings, which are one file per album or album side.  To get individual files, one per track, you need to:

1.  Split your recording into tracks

2.  Name the tracks

3.  Save your tracks in the Save Tracks tab.

The VinylStudio Help file says more about this.  Start with the 'Getting Started' section and work through the links from there.
