I have started to do some vinyl recording and need to pay for VinylStudio for the post processing. Right now, the album sides are just stored in a diectory on my server using the album name and number for the side. My setup is from my phono preamp to a Tascam 3000 to my preamp. The results are fantastic at 24/96 and I can't tell any difference at all versus the sound directly from the table.

Since I just got my old Benz Glider retipped, I'm curious to hear the difference from the Shelter 501 that is on the table to decide which I like better before getting serious about culling and recording the collection.

But I digress. My questions are related to recording levels and normalization. The Tascam acts just like an old reel to reel with digital VU like meters. Typically, I always recorded records with a level with a slight, momentary peak into the red on the loudest passages. Given your post processing, I'm thinking that I might want to try to keep things just below the red line and normalize afterward.

I'm also curious about the methodology. Do you let VinylStudio de-tick and break up the side into individual tracks and then run the tracks into Audacity? I've only played a little with Audacity. Can you set it up to process a batch job for normalization or is it all manual on a track by track basis?

Thanks
