![]() ![]() I'd also like to be able to view the image at full-size.Ħ. When selecting album art, I'd like to be able to see the image dimensions (height/width). If an automatic scan on startup is not feasible, this could be made an on-demand feature. ![]() Much more convenient than manually selecting the deleted albums from the Save Tracks tab and then selecting More > Delete Selected Albums. On subsequent launches of the software, detect that the files no longer exist and auto-remove them from the collction/library (perhaps with an optional/hideable prompt?). Auto-detection of albums (imported files) that are deleted outside of VinylStudio. * The 'Album art already exists for this album. * The 'File imported successfully' dialog that is displayed after importing an external sound file. Ability to turn off some of the forced confirmation dialogs. But on each run it opens to some apparently fixed, smaller size.ģ. I prefer to use the program maximized or with a larger window. Support for remembering the size and position of the main window. This throws off all subsequent track breaks, requiring manual tweaking to fix the break points.Ģ. Sometimes it's prior to the needle drop other times it's after the needle drop but as much as 4 seconds before the start of the first track (long lead-in). then the spot that VinylStudio selects as the start of the first track is sometimes incorrect. as it often is with an imported sound file. When the needle drop is actually part of the sound file, however. If the recording is done from within VinylStudio it can be set to pause until it 'hears' the needle drop, so this probably would not be an issue (haven't tried it). Better detection of the "side start" point (needle set down) when working with imported sound files. Then comes the hard stuff - which may not be feasible, if the goal of VinylStudio is towards simplicity rather than high-flexibility/configurability.ġ. The first five are simple UI usability tweaks. There are a few areas where I feel that VinylStudio could improve. I record to an Edirol R09HR SD-based flash recorder, de-click with ClickRepair, and then use VinylStudio for tagging, album art, track splitting, and saving to FLAC. I've used VinylStudio for a short time, but not for the recording step. The two biggest advantage to these programs are efficiency and an appropriate and extensive set of tools to get the job done. ![]() You could probably take any individual task in VS or SIA and find a program that does a better job at it. It's not just a press-a-button-and-be-done type of program. They also say you need spend time with it on each LP to get the best results. I don't know much about the de-clicking algorithms in VS but most people say ClickRepair does an excellent job. It can split tracks based on silence but VinylStudio, and, I believe, Spin It Again, can split based on the track list it retrieves from the Internet. It can't look up album info on the Internet and its tagging facilities are limited. I have not come across any other programs for Windows that are both created for vinyl ripping and have such an extensive feature set.Īudacity does a great number of tasks but it doesn't do them all. Their UI's, feature sets and workflows are all in support of that task. If a PVC backdrop is laid on a soft floor, such as carpet flooring, it may get pinched as soon as people stand on it especially when people wear high-heels.I haven't spent a great deal of time with VinylStudio but from a high-level, Spin It Again and VinylStudio are both designed specifically for digitizing vinyl. Use PVC backdrops on hard and even floors. CameraStuff PVC backdrops are, however, designed with a matte finish on the white side to heavily reduce the appearance of gloss and shine. This effect is far more apparent on the black side of the PVC. As a result, any light spillage on your backdrop may create hotspots. Most PVC backdrops do have a bit of glossy surface. If you do get black scuff marks on your backdrop, you can apply some Tipex or white paint to disguise it. Otherwise, you can apply masking tape to the bottom of their shoes. If this is unavoidable, ask your models to stand on sheets of paper or a piece of white cloth. To avoid scuff marks, ask people to remove their shoes before trodding onto the backdrop. Any scuff marks created by such shoes can be extremely tricky to remove - if not impossible. ![]() You can also unroll your PVC backdrop in the sun to remove lines and wrinkles.ĭark soles are the kryptonite of PVC backdrops. To remove fold or pinch marks, use a hot gun or blow dryer. Pinch and fold marks can be quite difficult to remove from a vinyl backdrop. ![]()
