Support for Tahoe 26.2, and fixed a couple of rare crashes

This version fixes a few issues identified in V15.1.1, including an important fix to the click scanner. It also implements a simple audio compressor (requires VinylStudio Pro) to make your audio similar in volume to tracks from commercial sources. For full details, please see the readme file after installing.

This version fixes a few issues identified in V15.1.0. It also implements EBU R128 normalisation (aka 'loudness normalisation'). For details, please see the readme file after installing. All users are recommended to update to this version. ----- V15.1.0 introduced some improvements for visually impaired users, especially on the Mac, and you will find a link to a guide describing how to get the best out of the program in VinylStudio's Help menu. We also implemented 'scrubbing' and added some more hotkeys for frequently used features.

This version fixes all the issues in version 15.0 reported to us by users, including a problem in the lookup track listing dialog on Tahoe. For details, please see the readme file after installing. There are also some improvements for visually impaired users, and you will find a link to a guide describing how to get the best out of the program in VinylStudio's Help menu. We have also implemented 'scrubbing' and added some more hotkeys for frequently used features.

We have fixed all the issues in V15.0.0 reported by users. Thanks to all who contributed.

Changes from Version 14: ▪ Multiple language support (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian). Please provide feedback via our website as these are machine translations and we will improve them over time: https://www.alpinesoft.co.uk/contact_us.aspx ▪ A couple of bug fixes.

Changes from Version 13.1.6 ▪ The maximum length of a manual repair has been increased from just under 10ms to 50ms. You need a fast machine with, ideally, 4 cores or more to repair wide clicks. This requires VinylStudio Premium, but you can trial that for 30 days before you have to purchase a license. ▪ The maximum length of a patch has been increased from 250ms to 1 second. Results vary, with longer patches. This requires VinylStudio Premium. ▪ There is a new type of Patch - 'multiclick' - which strings a number of click repairs together to replaced the damaged audio. This requires VinylStudio Premium. ▪ Patching is now multi-threaded (one thread per channel) and as a result there is, in most cases, a 2x speedup, provided that you have a CPU with at least 2 cores. This requires VinylStudio Premium. ▪ The click scanner is also now multi-threaded (one thread per channel) and as a result there is again a 2x speedup. This requires VinylStudio Premium. ▪ You can now scan for, and optionally repair, clips. This works best for minor clipping; if the clipping is severe you should re-record. ▪ We have (at last!) sorted out the confusion between Artist and Album Artist. VinylStudio uses the Album Artist and Title to uniquely identify the album. There is a new field called Performing Artist that maps to Artist in many audio players, which can be overridden per-track if desired. Artist Alias has been removed. ▪ You can now burn multiple CDs in a single operation (Michael Pekic). Requires VinylStudio Pro. ▪ You can now drag an existing click repair horizontally by holding down the Alt / Option key (RonH). ▪ Dragging various things now auto-scrolls the waveform display. This should reduce the need to scroll in and out and / or scroll the display yourself to get things where you want them. ▪ The comment fields in the Edit Album Details and Edit Track Details dialogs now accept line breaks. Also, the length limit has been removed. Please note that some players (notably iTunes) truncate this field when displaying it. ▪ Custom tags now accept line breaks. ▪ By popular request, we have added a 'lyrics' field to the Edit Track Details dialog. ▪ You can now open Discogs in your web browser from the Lookup Track Listing dialog by right-clicking on an album in the list. Your browser will then display the Discogs page for the release you clicked on (Gretschguy). Requires VinylStudio Pro. ▪ Changed the way 'Insert Manual Repair' (R) works; many thanks to Mike Dunt for the suggestion. ▪ An album can now have several status names, rather than just one. This should make managing your collection easier. Also, the number of custom status names has been increased from 5 to 16. ▪ Further improvements to the help file (the section on burning CDs needed some TLC). ▪ The rumble filter wasn't working very well. This has now been fixed. ▪ Fixed a bug exporting CSV files - the order of the fields to be exported was being ignored. ▪ 'Restore Previous Purchases' tended to hang. This is now fixed. ▪ Also a few tweaks and bug fixes discovered by us or reported by users (including improving the 'needle up' logic when recording), for which much thanks.

A few bug fixes. For details, please see the readme file after installing.

Changes in V13.1.3: ▪ Fixed a few minor issues reported by users. Changes in V13.1.0: ▪ Improved the responsiveness of the user interface when generating the waveform display. ▪ Improved the way VinylStudio handles recording singles. Please see the help file for details. ▪ Fixed excessive memory consumption when saving tracks with lots of threads. Also, VinylStudio now only opens files when necessary, which can dramatically reduce the total number open at once. ▪ Improved the accuracy of the 'time to go' indicator when (for example) saving tracks. Specifically, it is more stable and doesn't 'bounce around' so much. ▪ By request, made a number of popups (e.g. 'Scan for Clicks complete') optional. If you have other candidates, please let us know. ▪ VinylStudio can now read cue sheets with embedded double quotes (VinylStudio Pro only). There are also a couple of additional export options and we have fixed a couple of bugs. ▪ Scan for Track Breaks has been improved. You can now also 'fine tune' existing track breaks to fit the gaps in the music. Please note that the semi-manual scan feature has been removed. ▪ If you ask it to, VinylStudio now correctly preserves your track breaks when looking up track listings online. ▪ When integrating with iTunes / Music, VinylStudio now works rather better when you store your tracks in iCloud. ▪ VinylStudio can now import Sony / Sonic Foundry Wave 64 files (VinylStudio Pro only). It cannot write to such files, however. ▪ Tweaked the wizard shown on first launch to make it clearer how to store recordings on an external drive. ▪ VinylStudio now offers both quick erase (which is how it was before) and full erase when erasing optical disks. ▪ When mixing down to mono, you can elect to copy from only the left-hand or right-hand channel (as opposed to mixing the two). ▪ Some of the menus have been tidied up and reviewed for consistency. ▪ The maximum recording time and elapsed time display in the Record Dialog now respect the speed conversion setting (because, we feel, they should). ▪ Nicer window animations. ▪ Much improved facilities for importing audio files. ▪ You can now swap the left and right channels over if you record a file incorrectly (VinylStudio Pro only). ▪ Length limits in exported CUE sheets have been removed (VinylStudio Pro only). ▪ The 'Zoom Track' dialog didn't work properly and has been removed. We doubt it will be missed. ▪ We have done a bit of (long overdue!) work on the help file. ▪ There are a number of other improvements and bug fixes. For full details, please see the readme file after installing.

This version fixes the startup crash on Monterey 12.6. It also includes a few other changes as detailed in the readme file after installing (Menu -> Help -> View Readme File).

This version fixes a few problems introduced in V12.5.0 and introduces 'smart normalisation' (available in VinylStudio Pro only). For details, please see the readme file after installing. Changes in V12.5.0: ▪ VinylStudio now stops your computer from going to sleep while a recording is in progress. ▪ You can now set a 'custom' playback speed when playing audio. This is intended to help people determine the correct speed conversion settings to use when recording (for example) a tape that plays slightly too fast. ▪ VinylStudio can now read a wider variety of AAC files. ▪ Fixed a rare crash saving tracks which require sample rate conversion (including DSD to PCM). ▪ VinylStudio now supports VoiceOver. ▪ Fixed an issue importing album art when using 'Lookup from Discogs' while creating a new album. Please note that this feature is available in VinylStudio Pro only. ▪ VinylStudio now stores and displays the Discogs release number when a track listing has been looked up from Discogs. ▪ Fixed 'HTTP error 301' when importing album art from Music Brainz. This process is also a little faster. ▪ There is now an 'Automatically Set Selection when Playing 1 Second Either Side of the Cursor' option in the Cursor Options menu. This can be useful to help track down hard-to-find clicks. ▪ Pressing the left and right arrow keys while holding down the Shift key now 'nudges' the cursor left and right in the waveform display. Use Ctrl + Shift for a bigger nudge. ▪ Fixed drag and drop from (e.g.) Safari to VinylStudio's Album Art window. ▪ Improved the behaviour of 'Apply Recording Equalisation Curve' in the Equalisation Curve window. Before, it wasn't working quite right. You can now also 'listen while you work' in this window. ▪ Fixed a couple of issues importing multiple MP3 files. This works much better now. ▪ Fixed an issue saving tracks in MP3 format when padding with silence ('Add silence at start of tracks'). ▪ Fixed an issue where VinylStudio was stripping certain punctuation characters (e.g. slashes) from custom tag values. ▪ You can now elect to hide the nodes in the Equalisation Curves window. This makes it easier to see the curve. Also, VinylStudio hides the cursor while dragging a node and applies a certain degree of smoothing to the curve. ▪ Fixed a crash in Spectral View (problem introduced in V12.0.1). ▪ Normalisation has been improved. Specifically: ▪ The preamp sliders now have greater range and precision ▪ 'Ignore transients' didn't work very well and has been removed ▪ Improved the 'Lookup from Discogs' user interface when creating an album. Please note that this feature is available in VinylStudio Pro only. ▪ Importing and exporting Audacity curves is now compatible with Audacity 3.x (.txt), rather than 2.x (.xml). Please note that this feature is available in VinylStudio Pro only. ▪ VinylStudio no longer rejects [File Type] as a keyword in the track naming template. ▪ Fixed a bug when import cue sheets containing multiple album sides which was causing subsequent crashes when deleting the imported albums or recordings and a few other problems. ▪ Fixed an occasional (and harmless) 'error 2' message when editing album details. ▪ Fixed an issue importing the SONGWRITER field in CUE sheets; this was not working correctly, although CUE sheets generated by VinylStudio were actually correct so you can just reimport them. Please note that CUE sheet support is available in VinylStudio Pro only. ▪ Fixed an issue importing multiple files where VinylStudio mangled the track names and times imported from Discogs. Please note that importing multiple files is available in VinylStudio Pro only. ▪ Fixed a problem where VinylStudio was only applying equalisation / FFT curves to the first track saved for each album. Bug introduced in V11.7. ▪ Implemented J (jump back 1 second) and Shift+J (jump back 10 seconds) in the Split Tracks and Cleanup Audio windows.

Please note that this is a Pro feature. ▪ You can now erase CDs / DVDs / Blu-Ray discs from the Burn CDs window. ▪ Fixed an issue clicking in listboxes freezing certain windows. ▪ Added support for changing the hardware buffer size (because a couple of people were reporting stuttering when recording). ▪ VinylStudio can now export your collection as a CSV, RTF or text file. Please note that this is a Pro feature. ▪ VinylStudio now supports the use of a forward slash (/) as a separator in (e.g.) multiple genre tags, as well as a semi-colon (;). ▪ Fixed a crash importing files. ▪ Fixed, hopefully, a very rare crash in Patch APA. ▪ Fixed an occasional crash on shutdown. ▪ VinylStudio now (re-) generates the waveform display in the background. This is mainly useful when importing audio files recorded by another application (in which case the task is started automatically when the import completes). ▪ VinylStudio now preserves existing track names when importing files if appropriate. ▪ When using the 'Lookup from Discogs' feature when creating an album, VinylStudio now presents a list of albums to choose from and, if so requested, imports the track listing at the same time. ▪ VinylStudio now displays the Discogs release number in the list of retrieved albums in the 'Lookup Track Listings' dialog. ▪ VinylStudio now supports multiple tag values for the following fields: artist, track artist, artist alias, composer, conductor, genre, label and content grouping. ▪ You can now delete genre / label / grouping tag 'favourites' from the remembered list.

Please note that this is a Pro feature. ▪ By popular request, you can now resize the list of recorded files in the Split Tracks window. ▪ Again by request, VinylStudio can now play the first and last 5 seconds of each track so that you can review your track breaks before burning a CD or saving your tracks. ▪ VinylStudio now tags WAV and MP3 files as ISO-8895-1 (which is correct), rather than UTF-8 (which is not). But use Unicode tagging if your player supports it. ▪ To avoid a potential false reading when the needle first hits the record, added a short delay before updating the peak recording level indicator when 'Wait for needle down' is selected (as requested by Henning Björn). ▪ Made it possible to adjust the recording level (and other) sliders with the arrow keys on the keyboard (for machines equipped with trackpads, mainly). ▪ Removed TrackType.org from the list of databases in the Lookup Track Listing window, since it is no longer operational. ▪ Fixed occasional missing popup help. ▪ Fixed an occasional crash saving FLAC files. ▪ Fixed an issue with mute left / right channel when playing very long recordings (Vincenzo Gambatesa). ▪ Fixed a problem with the installer background in dark mode. ▪ Updated some out-of-date screenshots in the help file. ▪ By request, improved the visibility of the waveform display in the Split Tracks window in dark mode (Mac only). ▪ The new, thicker lines used to draw the waveform display in the Cleanup Audio window are now optional.

This can result in a considerable speedup on multi-core machines. ▪ VinylStudio can now group saved tracks into folders by artist and album title on data CDs and DVDs. ▪ Creating an album when you start recording or import a sound file has been streamlined. It should now be more obvious what to do, especially for new users, with fewer popups. ▪ VinylStudio can now read and write cue sheets. ▪ Due to changes in Amazon policy we have been forced to remove the Amazon databases from the lookup track listing function. Sorry about that, but the other databases are better anyway. ▪ Improved functionality when importing multiple audio files - you can now add to existing album sides whereas before you had to always start from side 1. ▪ When inserting a track break you can now tell VinylStudio to split the current track (rather than adding a track at the end) by holding down the Alt / Option key. ▪ Worked around a problem with track names not showing up on iOS devices in Albums view when saving tracks in MP3 format. ▪ Spectral View is faster, especially on multi-core machines. ▪ Improved the accuracy of the rumble filter. ▪ Better support for input devices that switch automatically between PCM and DoP. ▪ Implemented 'Fade to Middle' - generates a convenient fade between tracks automatically when the end marker and following start marker have been moved apart. You'll find it in the menu. ▪ Implemented shortcut keys to save (5) and restore (6) the current zoom level and cursor position. ▪ Fixed a problem declicking DSD files. ▪ When saving a copy of a recording in the Cleanup Audio window, always save it in stereo, even if Mix down to Mono is set for that album (which was always the intention). To save in mono, use 'Save Selection As'. ▪ Various other minor changes and bug fixes. For details, please see the Readme file after installing.

This cuts down on screen clutter. * Fixed a problem with dropdown lists when entering international characters. * Better handling of medleys in Discogs lookups. * Fix HTTP error 403 retrieving album art from the Amazon databases. * Fix Discogs import. * Fix an occasional crash when printing album art. * Fix non-responsive popup menus on Sierra. * Pressing the 'B' key to insert a track break while recording now works reliably. * Fixed normalising part of a recording. * Fixed album names / artists containing international characters. * A few other minor bug fixes and tweaks, including reverting to 32 bit.

▪ Compatible with macOS 10.12 Sierra ▪ VinylStudio can now embed ID3 tags in WAV files as well as the older INFO tag. ID3 tags are read by a wider variety of players (including VLC and Windows Media Player). ▪ VinylStudio now remembers upto 5 custom 'When saving tracks, name them as' strings in the Settings / Preferences dialog, allowing you to switch between them quickly and easily if you need to. ▪ If you recorded your album sides in the wrong sequence (typically side 2 and then side 1), you can correct this by dragging the recorded files around in the list in the Record or Split Tracks dialog. ▪ The size of the recording buffer is now configurable from 1 to 60 seconds (in the Recording Options dialog). ▪ Fix error 403 searching Music Brainz. You may still encounter error 503's at busy times, but if so just retry. ▪ Fix inability to handle some MP3 files containing Unicode ID3 tags ▪ Fix Discogs searches for artists containing a hyphen. ▪ Search the 'MP3 Downloads' index in the Amazon databases as well as the existing Music index. This contains more track listings and (usefully) puts in track break markers for you. ▪ When normalising, VinylStudio now does not scan the leadin or leadout parts of the recording (provided that you define track breaks first). ▪ VinylStudio can now handle upto 30 album sides per album (up from 20). ▪ You can now add additional albums to your collection while recording. ▪ The rumble filter now has a setting to perform just DC offset correction. ▪ When importing files from an external source, VinylStudio now strips the leading track number from the track name. This is useful when importing tracks previously saved by VinylStudio. ▪ The recording level indicators can now display either dB or percent (linear). The latter is more precise. ▪ When burning an audio CD, VinylStudio now allows you to burn a second, identical, CD more quickly. ▪ Dropdown lists now position themselves to the nearest matching entry when you start typing. Just press Enter to complete the entry. ▪ Fix crash when printing collection on El Capitan 10.11.1, and various other printing issues. ▪ Fix various issues when running full-screen on El Capitan. ▪ Fixed a problem when saving multiple tracks with the same name to iTunes where the first track was not saved. ▪ Support full-screen operation on Lion and later (not available on Snow Leopard). ▪ A number of other bug fixes and minor improvements,
