Restoration

Don't throw away your mix just yet! We can very effectively remove noise, clicks, rumble, crackle, hum, and other artefacts of a compromised recording.

Common problems we're dealing with on a regular basis include electrically induced noise, vinyl crackle, tape hiss, digital clicking, air conditioning hum and low frequency rumble, coughs, the noise of turning pages and even car horns.

Vinyl Restoration

Vinyl restoration starts with a pristine transfer. To accomplish the highest possible quality, we use broadcast quality turntables and Digital Audio Denmark converters. All vinyl restoration is done in 24 bit resolution in Sadie and Wavelab systems, eliminating noise, crackle and hum.

Contrary to common belief, a well preserved record can be a suitable source for a great sounding master.

Forensic Audio Restoration

24-96 Mastering can improve poor quality audio drastically. We accept a wide variety of sources including cassette tape, CCTV video tape, PDA and mobile phone recorded sound files and many more.

Most forensic audio consists of recorded dialog or conversations that are difficult or impossible to understand. In such cases we suppress or eliminate background noise and other unwanted artefacts to make the spoken words understandable. The result of our work can be supplied in any format you require, be it a CD, Minidisc, cassette tape or other.

Forensic Audio Verification

24-96 Mastering offer specialist verification of existing recordings in cases of doubt. Fabricated or falsified auditorial evidence can often easily be spotted due to cuts and edits, crosstalk, revealing low level sounds, direct sound to ambience mismatch or a bandwidth mismatch between the recording and the specified recording device. We will supply you with a written report of our findings after we have completed our analysis.

Our verification services can also be useful if background noises or acoustic spaces need to be identified. You may even just want to listen to the forensic recording in our reference listening environment - the low level detail audible on our specialised speaker system in our acoustically revealing mastering suite may provide you with previously unheard information.
