Question on using Vinyl Studio
dtc,You said "All the changes it (VS) makes are kept in separate files that reside in the same folder as the original file. Once you edit a file with VS, there will be a vsfile and a .crd file in that same folder."And "Once you process the file... 
Question on using Vinyl Studio
Thanks dtc, that is an excellent and informative explanation, and what I was hoping for. 
Question on using Vinyl Studio
Maybe I made the original question too complicated.  So my raw DSD files go on the external HD in artist folders. Then I use VS and it positions track breaks, adds track names, cleans up audio (if desired) and stores all that in a folder it creat...
