The 'DropStation' vinyl capture workstation has been created by software developer Aaron Peterson as a solution for audiophiles to incorporate into their setup when seeking out a way to digitize their favorite LPs. The unit maintains a self-contained construction that is capable of functioning as a mastering-grade solution that will help to preserve a collector's most treasured recordings. Users can utilize the accompanying app to make adjustments now or later, while also enjoying a versatile experience when backing up their LPs.
The 'DropStation' vinyl capture workstation is also closely integrated with the Discogs community data that will help users to seamlessly access more than 160-million track names that can be easily assigned to their recorded files.
