VINYLSTUDIO REVIEW HOW TO
I lack the patience to read manuals basically, software has to teach me how to use it as I go along, with no glitches or confusion. In that regard, the VinylStudio Lite software, which NAD includes with the PP 3, was a dream to use.
VINYLSTUDIO REVIEW FULL
(The full version, which offers a greater choice of file types and other options, is downloadable from it costs $29.95 and is available in both PC and Mac versions.)Īfter I'd connected the PP 3 to my teenage son's very basic IBM/Lenovo T61 laptop, the software walked me through the steps. First, I checked the levels to make sure I wasn't overdriving the input of the A/D converter. Then I set the Needle Down input level control (which recognizes the track's minimum signal level) and the Needle Up delay time (how long the program keeps recording when the music ends), and proceeded to record the title track of Steely Dan's Aja (LP, ABC AA 1006). The idea is that, once you hit the Record button and go to play the LP, the software knows when to begin and end the recording, based on the Needle Down and Needle Up settings. Immediately, the software scolded me for two mistakes I'd made. It had noticed that the zero signal level was higher than it should have been, and correctly deduced that there was hum in the system. It turned out that the combination of lighting up my workstation with a halogen lamp and the tonearm's ground wire accidentally slipping off the Creek's ground post was the problem. The software then noticed that my son's computer was set to record in low-resolution mono. I got an error message that said, in effect, "Don't you really want a stereo 44.1kHz WAV file?" (MP3 is also an option.) Well, now I was cooking. As I was recording only a single track, I declined to use the program's seemingly convenient track-separation feature, which displays a visual depiction of the album's signal waveform, making it easy to use the mouse to divide an album's worth of music into individual tracks.Īfter the track was finished, I burned a CD from the WAV file, sat down, and compared that version of "Aja" with the original vinyl. The original vinyl had silkier highs, a richer midrange, and a slightly warmer midbass. I also felt the CD copy subtracted a bit of air, and there was a subtle, crisp tension where the upper midrange and lower highs meet.
This manifested itself as drummer Steve Gadd's hi-hat sounding slightly splashier than normal. However, none of these deficiencies was significant, as the file I had recorded with the NAD PP 3 and VinylStudio Lite left the original's harmonic and dynamic signatures pretty much intact, and there was no sense of fatigue or strain.
