The record

Product purpose: VinylRest makes software for real-time vinyl listening restoration, offline restoration of digitized records, and synchronized audio comparison.
Live restoration: VinylRest Live processes stereo audio in real time through DeClick, DeCrackle, and optional NRNG surface-noise reduction.
Live formats: VinylRest Live supports stereo 16-bit or 24-bit audio from 32 to 192 kHz, subject to compatible input and output formats.
Remote control: Live includes a browser WebApp for controlling and monitoring a session from a phone, tablet, or computer on the same network, without an account or cloud synchronization.
WebApp security: The Live WebApp uses plain HTTP without a password or encryption, and VinylRest advises using it only on a private trusted LAN.
Recognition integration: VinylRest Live offers optional Shazam-powered music recognition for artwork and track details.
Live license limit: One Live Beta license supports up to three active Mac installations, and periodic online validation is normally due every seven days.
Live Pi: VinylRest Live Pi is a beta image for Raspberry Pi, with Raspberry Pi 5 strongly recommended and a microSD card of at least 8 GB required.
Pi hardware limit: Live Pi requires one Linux-compatible USB audio interface with stereo input and output on the same device; separate USB input and output devices are unsupported.
File restoration: VinylRest File restores one recording or a folder, preserves the source file, and writes restored audio and reports as new files.
File formats: VinylRest File supports mono or stereo WAV, AIFF, FLAC, and ALAC up to 192 kHz while preserving source format and timeline.
ABC Player: ABC Player synchronizes two compatible files on an exact sample timeline and switches between Source, Cleaned, and live Difference monitoring.
ABC compatibility limit: ABC Player requires matching sample rate, channel count, and frame count, and rejects incompatible file pairs.
Local processing: VinylRest says restoration runs locally on the Mac and recordings do not need to be uploaded to a remote processing service.
