Sometimes it doesn’t work, like when the database can’t find a record, or more rarely, when there were several different versions of a record on vinyl or CD and the order of the songs has been rearranged. This way, you are saved the work of typing in each track name individually. This is where the program is a huge time-saver… dividing the file into individual songs, and looking through databases on the internet for the track names. With that done, I then bring the file into Vinyl Studio for final work. I’ll manually optimize the file and balance the tracks if necessary. But it’s rare that I’ll do further noise reduction… a certain amount of minor clicks and crackle is a part of the vinyl experience, and too much cleanup destroys the character.

I’ll then declick the guard bands in between songs.

Once recorded, I bring the PCM10 upstairs and download the file into my computer.įirst I usually apply a rumble filter which greatly cleans up the waveform, then scan for really obnoxious pops and fix these individually. I’ve only done this experimentally though. Once dry, it peels away from the vinyl, taking specks of dust and dirt with it. A somewhat risky way to clean really dirty albums is with a thin layer of Elmer’s glue. One of these days I’ll build an utrasonic/ centrifugal record cleaning machine. (three parts distilled water, one part pure isopropryl alcohol, and one or two drops of Dawn dish detergent to break the surface tension. I always clean the surface of the vinyl with a water-alcohol solution. The biggest reason is that my turntable is downstairs in the basement, and my audio workstation is in the office upstairs. While you can use VinylStudio to record the file directly into your computer, I record onto a Somy PCM10 recorder. I mainly use Adobe Soundbooth CS5 for editing and noise reduction, but for really difficult situations, I’ll use Izotope RX Pro. Besides, they cost a pile of money so I’d rather use them than let them sit. It’s not because Vinyl Studio can’t do the job, it’s just that I’ve been using other programs for editing and noise reduction for years and I’m more familiar with them. The program has a capable noise reduction section, but I use other programs for this job.

You can use it to burn CDs of your records if you like, or save the files in a number of different formats besides MP3s, including WAV, AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format), ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), DFF, DSF, (there are different types of Direct Stream Digital formats) FLAC Free Lossless Audio Codec), and OGG (Ogg Vorbis open-source format).

At $30, its a fairly inexpensive, yet still pretty capable program. VinylStudio was designed to be a standalone program for getting your vinyl records onto your computer. Here I’m working on a transfer for a client in Nashville called “A Christmas Delight” by Winifred Smith, cut in 1967… not likely to show up on iTunes anytime soon. As soon I get out of this crazy period I will download the different demo versions and see what works best.The main screen of VinylStudio. I am not sure what kind of control gives the user regarding the acquisition compared with purevinyl. It is more generic than the above mentioned but seems it used quite a lot in the restoration industry.

Unluckily I am swamped at work but I was planning to give a test at this software as well. This thread is to collect experiences and questions for this particular function of the Devialet range. (0, 18:51)Eddye Wrote: Now that Devialet have made the USB port bi-directional, you can easily digitise your vinyl collection. There is other software available for digitizing, for example: You can then select the parts you want to export as a music file (a selection would typically be a single song). Also remember to select the same sample rate in your Audacity project that you selected as input sample rate.Īfter you record 1 side of the record, save your project. It’s important to check if you have selected the Devialet USB as an input device of your PC/Mac, before you start recording. If you use Audacity, follow the instructions in Devialet document: Of course you can use the software you prefer, there are other options (see below)

The date Devialet uses on the website is: ĭownload Audacity (Freeware) for your particular Operating System (Mac OS/X or Windows), and install. The earlier version of 7.1.1 unfortunately doesn’t work. The correct firmware version is 7.1.1 but the files should have a date/time stamp " 15:25” (or later). Make sure you have the correct firmware version.

Now that Devialet have made the USB port bi-directional, you can easily digitise your vinyl collection.
