STEVEN SMOLIAN

I copy cardboard discs, dictation belts, wire reels, poorly-made tapes, broken cassettes, etc, and put the restored sound onto CDs and cassettes... Services include choosing and implementing the restoration techniques most appropriate to recovering the basic sound of your originals. Additional work may include assembling fragments created by repairing repeating and skipped grooves, bad tape splices, etc., into an uninterrupted program and removing prominent remaining clicks and pops by human editing. Digital systems in use include those made by Cedar, Smaartlive, Sound Forge, Waves and Wavelab. I often get surprisingly fine results, considering the original recording equipment's limitations and the effects of the passage of time and casual storage. My objective is to balance recovering the distinctive audio picture of those on the record with the suppression of undesirable background noise...
