Vinylstudio vs audacity5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() I keep my vinyl files in a separate folders from the CD rips for convenience and so there is no conflict between CD and vinyl versions. Don't let the $29 price scare you, it is a great program.Īs to naming, just use the same naming convention as you do for CDs - something like artist/albums/tracks. If you look on ComputerAudiophile it is the most commonly used program. It costs $29 and there is a 30 day trial. As with all software, it takes a little getting us to but the workflow is very easy once you get use to it. It takes in the file from the turntable and lets you look up the album from various sources on the Internet (including Discogs, a database of vinyls) and gives you track timings and track names for separating and tagging the tracks. I would suggest you take a look at Vinyl Studio. As to naming, you can use the same conventions you use for CDs.Īudacity is a good all around put it is not optimized for digitizing vinyl. You have to local the start and stops of tracks and do whatever cleanup (clicks, hiss, etc.) you want to do. I have a laptop that I can dedicate to doing the conversions so I do not tie up my HTPC as this will be a long term project to convert all of them.ĭigitizing vinyl is a lot more manual than ripping CDs. Thanks in advance for any tips and help you guys can provide. I could not really tell a difference between it and my old Pioneer PL518 that I normally use and the Pioneer has a Empire 4000DII cartridge with a new Shibata stylus. I have used the turntable and the playback quality is very good. I suppose I could just try it but thought some of you could give me some pointers based on your experiences and possibly save me some grief. I searched the wiki and forums but did not find any thing to help. Any advice on naming the files so I can get cover art and track info etc. I have ripped many CD's but the vinyl rip is new to me. ![]() I plan on copying them to a 3GB hard drive on a storage server I just bought so I can access them from anywhere on my network. I have a Audio Technica AT-LP120 USB turntable and a copy of Audacity software. Looking for some advice on copying my large vinyl collection to digital files. ![]()
