The Vinyl Recording and Restoration Tool sees modest improvements but its ability to clean up recordings remains basic compared to dedicated software such as Magix Audio Cleaning Lab. Most of the other new features are refinements to the interface, such as the ability to dock floating windows and use tabs to jump between them. There’s support for AAC files for both import and export, too. Supported audio resolutions are up from 24-bit, 96kHz to 32-bit, 192kHz. However, because it works directly on files rather than by importing to and exporting from a timeline, we frequently find ourselves calling on its services for various tasks: stereo recording, truncating files, format conversion and sample-level surgical edits are just a few examples.
