Griffin Technology's Free Final Vinyl v1.1 is Out

and available for download. Griffin Technology, Inc. announced the release of Final Vinyl version 1.1. Final Vinyl software allows the recording of vinyl records using just the Griffin iMic or PowerWave and a turntable.

Previously, the entire stereo system would be needed to pre amplify the turntable. Now, the record player can be connected directly to an iMic or PowerWave with no additional hardware necessary. Final Vinyl 1.1 adds several new features including sound waveform based cue editing and complete Panther compatibility. Final Vinyl 1.1 is available now for free download at www.griffintechnology.com.

Final Vinyl 1.1 includes several features and improvements including faster performance, improved reliability, and much lower CPU usage when using EQ. It also includes a complete Waveform display that makes Cue Marking much easier and accurate. Using Cue Marking, a user can set all the beginning and ending points of songs and have Final Vinyl manage the separation of each song into individual files - ready to burn to a CD. Final Vinyl can also dynamically set and adjust audio levels. This feature ensures that the recording level of the source music is always properly adjusted to its optimum point.

Final Vinyl is designed to work exclusively with the Griffin iMic or the new Griffin PowerWave. The iMic adds high quality stereo input and output to any USB based Macintosh. The Griffin PowerWave includes audio input and output plus adds an integrated 30 watt amplifier. With the combination of an iMic or a PowerWave and the free Final Vinyl software, recording an entire album collection has never been easier or more affordable.

Also new today is the Griffin Turntable Connection Cable with built-in grounding. This six-foot cable presents stereo RCA jacks and a turntable grounding screw on one end, and a mini-jack on the other. It connects a turntable perfectly to the Griffin iMic or PowerWave. This adaptor cable makes hooking up your turntable much easier with the extra six feet of length, and the built in grounding system eliminates potential hum problems that sometimes occur with ungrounded turntables. The Turntable Cable costs $12.99 and is available immediately.
