VinylStudio

VinylStudio is the best way to convert records and tapes to digital format. Taking your old LP albums and transferring them to your computer could not be easier. Now everyone can rip their vinyl records in a few easy steps. Works with both Windows and Macintosh computers.

Why Choose VinylStudio?

• Ease of use: Because it is designed for the job at hand, VinylStudio is much easier (and faster) to use than conventional audio editors.

For example, instead of having to save each track separately, you tell VinylStudio the names of your tracks (or, if you are lucky, look them up), tell it where the trackbreaks are (by dragging markers into position) and then tell it to save your tracks. Hey presto! Job done.

• Convenience: Unlike most similar programs, VinylStudio does not expect you to keep track of your recordings manually. Instead, it stores them as a collection, organised by artist and album title.

This means that your recordings are always on hand should you ever need them. And if you need to burn another CD or copy some tracks across to your MP3 player, they're just a couple of mouse-clicks away.

• Powerful tools: VinylStudio's audio cleanup tools are not just a toy. They are extremely effective at removing clicks and scratches from your recordings. VinylStudio also has a complete set of noise reduction filters

And if any of your recordings are in really bad shape, you might appreciate our unique Patch feature, which can repair damage that other programs simply cannot touch.
