"Everything you need for digitizing your recordings"
Version: VinylStudio 8.3.1
Pros
Easily learned, editing is non-destructive (does not affect your original file) so you can feel free to experiment for best effect, cleans up any type of noise (clicks, hiss, etc.), lots of options. You can record directly onto your computer or import wav files; I am in the process of digitizing over 150 recordings that I made with a digital recorder.
Cons
No cons whatsoever.
Summary
Really great program. I don't think there is anything out there for this purpose that could be better at any price, unless maybe you are a professional.

"Best Vinyl Rip software out there!!!"
Version: VinylStudio 8.3.1
Pros
The process is explained very well. Nice to get the track titles from the internet. Recording starts when needle is on the record. Easy to edit tracks. Removes clicks and pops very well. Many features I haven't tried yet.
Cons
None at the present time.
Summary
I enjoy this software very much. The software that had come with my usb turntable made me download itunes, which I never have used and never want to use. Now I can download and play all my music from Windows Media player. I'm anxious to try ripping my cassette tapes. VinyStudio is a great deal for the money.

"Really intuitive software- Very thoughtfully designed"
Version: VinylStudio 8.3.1
Pros
Intuitive interface
Automatic, but with plenty of user options if you want/need them
Excellent, simple editing options
Balloon help that is truly helpful and can be turned off
Easy to create track names and other info
Can export directly to iTunes
Can export to whatever file format you wantCons
Doesn't always place the track end/beginning points in the right place, but it's easy to move them.
Summary
This is some of the best and most Mac-like software I've ever used. Very easy to navigate, and the first time I used it, there was very little learning curve for something that could be a complex process. Editing out pops and scratches was a breeze- took seconds to eliminate 14k of them on one record. You can go deeper as well if necessary. Excellent help files. Some of the best software I've ever purchased, and well worth the modest sum.

"Easy and efficient"
Version: VinylStudio 8.2.3
Pros
Easy to use
All the necessary features including fast scratch cleanup and accurate track separation
The best thing it does is to keep the original recording intact so you can start over if something goes wrongCons
Don't have any cons. It's not even very expensive.
Summary
I had been using another program (DAK) that was out of date, poorly organized, slow, and prone to crashes. Vinyl Studio cut my production time in half, it's more accurate, and it's much easier to use. I've been using it for about a year and I have had no problems.

"Effective and Simple to use"
Version: VinylStudio 8.2.3
Pros
Very simple to use, Excellent help file, Many easy to use options.
Cons
Have had to burn CDs outside the program to avoid CD/DVD drive locking up.
Summary
I have tried a few other software applications to convert records and tapes to CDs and this is by far the easiest to use and flexible application.

"A Very Nice Piece of Software for Ripping Vinyl"
Version: VinylStudio 8.2.1
Pros
* User interface shows a lot of care.
* So far, no bugs, no hangs, no crashes!
* As of this post, still being actively developed.
* Does everything I need, and then some to archive my records.
* FLAC is supported.Cons
* Full version a little pricey; $20 would be more in line than $30, but you can find deals.
* Setting line in level to 3/100 (or 1) is recommended for USB input. That's a bit odd IMHO, but it seems OK.Summary
Have not tried some of the other vinyl-specific products, but even the free version is an improvement over Audacity. It just has more vinyl-specific stuff, like needle down/up detection. I am recording from my TT into NAD PP3i into USB. Archive in FLAC, but then also cut MP3s for the iPod. Now getting into the click cleaner. Very leery about these things, but there are a lot of knobs to play with, and the ability to pull out the corrections for side-by-side comparisons is great. Yes, the UI is complicated, but it's got a lot of stuff to do. I like how it catches problems like the default on a new mic input is to record mono, but it knows you probably want stereo, so it pops up the Windows dialog for you. I'm a software developer by trade, and I can tell when someone has put a lot of careful effort into a program. This one shows it.

"Easy to use, does it all"
Version: VinylStudio 8.0.3
Pros
Does all functions of cassette to CD.
Popup help guided me through first time use with no redos.
Excellent auto track splitting with GUI tweaking.Cons
None after making my first CD
Summary
This was my first time making a dc from a cassette. The free trial only allows burning 5 TRACKS, but VinylStudio performed so well that by the time I was ready to burn 8 tracks I gladly paid the $30 registration to burn my first CD. No need to try any other software!

"Already a great program with great potential"
Version: VinylStudio 7.5.8
Pros
- easy to use with a lot of hand holding and info for beginners
- step by step lead through the recording process
- down load track info + cover art
- allows to edit track table while recording
- USB + analog inputCons
- only 4 fixed filename options, not changeable
- should use the same fields for record Info as itunes to cancel need to edit again in itunes with additional infoSummary
Although there are some whishes left for improvement this program is the best option I have seen up to now for digitizing old vinyl records. - Before I was using several programs in sequence to do the job, because they had different strength or some did some things better than others.
The work sequence in this program is already complete with strong tools to fix clicks and cracks of vinyl records and integrate album art and track info from various sources of the internet - all in one smooth sequential workflow! - The feature that you can work on the track list while records are recorded is a useful timesaving option.
I would prefere though that I had the option to change the way track names are saved.
I also would like to get a change dealing with track lengths when adjusting the separation markers between tracks:
i.e. when you have to change to increease or decrease one track in the beginning of the list, the next one is decreased or increased accordingly. I would prefer that the length of the following tracks stay as originally downloaded or edited - experience with a couple of dozens of records shows that that would much better work in real live as the actual implemented version - or at least provide an option to also work in this way. -
"This product ROCKS!!! and the tech support is superb!"
Version: VinylStudio 7.5.5
Pros
It can bundled with the NAD PP-3 because I wanted the best vinyl to digital conversion I could get. The CleanUp function works great and now I've got a great alternative to spinning the vinyl and slapping away grubby hands at a party.
Cons
Nothing I could find. The Tech Support is timely and spot on!
Summary
I've been looking for an easy and good sounding way to preserve my aging vinyl collection for a long time. This is it!!!

"Works real good, vinyl in good condition is a snap."
Version: VinylStudio 7.5.8
Pros
Easy to use, very user friendly.
Cons
The click and pop removal is not as good as I would like.
Summary
For the price I'm impressed, this is truly a great way to save older vinyl as CDs or other digital formats.
