I am not sure though that we can completely discount cheaper software for getting great results. You are correct also that we all have different expectations with this. Anything worthwhile in life requires time and commitment. I appreciate and respect your commitment to getting the absolute best possible result in your needledropping projects. No shortcuts to great in this game.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for your detailed comments Vocalpoint. If you want "top end" or even just results you can live with - you gotta put in - in both software costs and time.

To me (and only me) - personally - "needledropping" as a process does not even exist if a professional level editing bench (Wavelab/Forge/iZotope RX etc) is not in the equation.Īnd if "time" is in fact a concern - like it seems to be within this thread - using a $30 dollar "all in one" for a needledrop would be my definition of wasting it The quality I seek (and everyone should at last consider) is simply not possible at 30 bucks. I don't ever expect to transfer everything - nor do I want to - that's why I have my turntable - I can always just throw the record on - for real.īut using a piece of software that costs less than my record brush vs some of the other "tried and true" tools of the trade - is not for me. It's about the challenge and enjoyment of getting the very best transfer of a vinyl record that will never appear on CD and then enjoying it digitally in all it's glory - for the first time in a very long time. But of the time that I do have - it's never been about "quantity or volume" for me. It could do true 24-bit which would actually be an improvement over Audacity (for Windows) if so.Ĭlick to expand.I think I speak for many of us when I say we don't have time. If I wanted an Audacity replacement for Windows that's tailored for needledroppers, on the other hand, perhaps I'd consider it - but I didn't test recording. But CR is really a hard product to beat, especially at its $40 price point - and so far I see no evidence that this VinylStudio meets or exceeds CR.

I'd give samples, but the trial version won't actually let me save the filtering, only do previews. But on CR, less surface noise and NO audible distortions. But the kicker was the playback - on the 65k fix VinylStudio file, not only was there still some audible surface noise, but I could hear some distortions as well. And it ran significantly longer than VinylStudio. Then I took one original track (not all five) and imported that into CR and ran it at 30/30, which would be about right for this noisy track. The first fixed 32k defects over five files, and the second fixed 65k defects. I tried two settings in VinylStudio - first was the defaults, and then I used a much higher setting.
I actually tested a very noisy copy of "Beatles 65", which I had recently dropped. Until I found ClickRepair, I had found that all the audio cleaners I had ever used were lacking - either you had to drop the settings so low as to keep some pops/clicks, or you had to live with some audio distortion. This could be, for example, an Audacity replacement tool for editing if one is willing to cough up 30 bucks and if you don't use the audio cleanup, or require any VST plugins.
Also, it supports 24/96 FLAC output, which would be important to me. It takes the CD/LP times and makes a best guess and then you can tweak the markers as needed. The good: It supports external files that you can import (24/96 WAV, in this case), it supports MusicBrainz which I happen to use, and it combines this with importing the DB information directly into the file. First off, keep in mind that I use ClickRepair and Audacity as my tools for recording/washing/editing/saving. Ok, here's a quick review of this software.
