Product Description:
Audio application that allows users to easily record their collection of old vinyl records using just the Griffin iMic and their turntable. Previously users wishing to record their old record collection had to hook up their entire stereo system just to power their turntable. Now users can connect the record player directly to their iMic, and using Final Vinyl record and save all their old albums. They can then make them into CDs, MP3s etc. Final Vinyl does more than just record old albums; it is a fully functional general audio recording application as well. It can be used to record instruments, microphones and reel-to-reel tapes plugged into the iMic. It includes a 10-band Equalizer that is capable of significantly altering and enhancing a user's sound input. For example, inexpensive microphones could be improved by tweaking the bass response. Old worn records can be fine tuned and tonally corrected. All this and more can be done using the completely free Final Vinyl combined with the Griffin iMic.

Works well, but some issues:
-Experienced several crashes, but it recovers well without losing the captured music. One crash was on launch. One moving the gain slider.
-The waveform is often inaccurate, with silent parts showing high volume, and rebuilding didn't help.
-It is nearly intuitive to use, but the "connected to turntable" radio button on the EQ > Effects menu is placed at the bottom where it is initially invisible until you scroll or expand the window, so you can easily miss it. It should be at the top next to the other "Typical Connection" button. Go figure. This is the one you'll need if you are importing vinyl (remember the name of the program...), so it's odd that it isn't the default, and that you have to hunt for it.
Note that applied effects can't be undone.
Overall, a nicely done program that is a welcome addition to Griffin's iMic.

The Preferences allow you to choose what output format you want. But the choice is betweenAIFC or WAV. NOT MP3! What gives?
So, even if Final Vinyl works, you still will have to convert the results to MP3s.
Not the user friendliest app of 'm all...
