Hear The Original Song Version - Have you ever listened to a CD release of your favorite recording that just didn't sound like you remember? Many recordings that have been released on CD have been remastered. This means the equalizer settings and volume levels of individual instruments may be different from the original. Additionally, most mono recordings have been converted to a simulated stereo. Our restoration process corrects these common problems. By recording from the original vinyl source, you get to hear the version of the song you grew up with.

WHAT CAN BE CORRECTED?
Static - Consistent background noise (static) can be removed. Except in very worn records, silent areas will be silent again and background noise will not be audible during music sections.

Pops and Clicks - Impulsive disturbances such as pops and clicks will be removed so you can enjoy the original sound. See our samples for an explanation of what can be removed with various processing options.

Skips - In most cases, skips can be entirely eliminated. With some unusual cases, the skip may not be eliminated. In those cases, the skip may be minimized to reduce disturbances such as loud pops. Please note: The correction of skips is only available with the audiophile option.

Stereo to Mono Conversion - Many older recordings were originally recorded in mono. However, some of those recordings have been artificially converted to stereo in later pressings by splitting different frequencies to different channels. This is typical with many of the Beatles' recordings. The original mono sound can be restored from the stereo recording without losing any music.

Mono to Stereo Conversion - If you prefer that your mono recordings have a stereo sound, this can be simulated by splitting the frequencies to different channels.

Tape Hiss - Analog tape hiss can be removed both from tape recordings and vinyl recordings that were mastered on analog tape.
