BEFORE AND AFTER
Below you will find some examples of our audio restoration to give you a better idea on what transfer restoration you would like to receive.

Level 1 Transfer With Restoration Example:
Here is an example of chopin in a very quiet passage. If an LP is sent to us any crunchier than this, noticable artifacts might remain.  before and after

Here is an example of an extremely distorted Trumpet,  before and after
                                                                                                                                   Here is an example of  cassette tape forensic type restoration.  before and after

Here is another example of Cassette Tape restoration. This one is a horrible buzzing:
                       before  and  after

Level 2 Sound Enhancement example:
These are examples of the Beach Boys live: before and after utilizing Bass Maximizer, Harmonic Exciter and Tube Saturation. You'll notice a slightly warmer, deeper, richer sound not too far off from the before example though noticeably better sounding.

Level 3 Dynamic Range Expansion With Impact Restoration Example:
These are examples of Pink Floyd live. Notice in the after that the quiet part is quieter and the loud part is louder, that's dynamic range expansion. Also, notice a more startling punch at the loud part, that's impact restoration. POW! before and after. For more on what these terms mean, click the link to see our equipment page.

<>Levels 1, 2 & 3 combined example:   
This is a more dramatic example of levels 2 & 3. Legion 88  recorded in a  parisian  back alley.  It is a  primitive  recording, recorded onto a primitive tape recorder and a bootleg LP was made of it.  There is clicks, crackle & lots of tape hiss that was removed. Extreme 4bx settings were used along with: low shelf, tube saturation, quasi stereo, harmonic exciter & parametric eq for sound enhancement.   before and after
For those of you who don't mind waiting, here is a full version of the tune in AIFF format: full

*SPECIAL* Here is the Lay family's pesonal recording they had made into a 45. It was their Mother, Beulah Lay Strunk who wrote this song. Beulah's son ken is on vocals and the rest of her children add accompaniment. It was her last wish before passing on that it be converted to CD for all the world to hear. There's high speed internet in heaven too, i'm sure. It's an mp3 of:
Come to The Alter of Prayer

Check this out jazz fans!  The Bob James Trio at the 1962 Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival. This was Bob's big break. One of the of judges by the name of Quincy Jones, recognized his impovisational talent and the rest is history. It's song # 3 from their 4 song set.
