HOW IT'S
DONE
How the purchase of 36 minutes of convert lp to cd with Level 1 Affordable World Class Audio Restoration is done for $20.00 This is the best way we have found how to convert LP to CD with audio restoration. We use a large arsenal of world class applications and hardware (see equipment for further details on the hardware we use). The results are astonishing. The following lists the process and the tools we use to restore your audio with the Level 1 treatment. STEP 1 Your LP's, cassette tapes, and 45's condition are checked for restorability, then catalogued and staged for restoration. You will be notified if major flaws are found and to what degree this will effect the restoration before any restoration work is done. Restorations are on a First-Come, First-Served basis. See FAQ page for lead time. STEP 2 If your LP's, 78's, audio tapes, and 45's pass the restorability analysis, or we have conferred with you about your damaged media, your vinyl is then cleaned using a VPI HW-17 record cleaning machine. We use all high-end stereo equipment: For playing LP'S and 45's a Bang and Olufsen Beogram 8000 turntable utilizing a Sound-Smith line contact diamond stylus is used. For 78's, a Rek-O-Kut CVS 16 restoration deck, a stanton 6 stylus kit, and a Rek-O-Kut re-equalizer is used. An Audiolab 8000Q preamp, Bryston 3BST, Monster 850i interconnect cables, Luxman phono stage, and a Delta Audio PCI sound card round out the high-end equipment. Converting cassettes to CD utilize the same stereo equipment and are played through a Luxman KX-102 cassette deck. STEP 3 32 bit 44.1khz convert lp to cd transfer with restoration starts: LP'S and 45's are recorded to the computer hard drive. Next the extremely large clicks and scratches are repaired using TC Electronic Powercore Restoration Suite's De-scratch plug in. STEP 4 Clicks and pops will be repaired using either Algorithmix ScratchFree Pro, Waves Restoration Bundle's X-Click and/or Powercore Restoration's de-click. We then recheck again for any clicks or pops that might remain; at this point, only a few hollow pops or ghost pops (artifacts) remain that Sonic Foundry's noise reduction 2.0 usually repairs set on low sensitivity & low click shape. STEP 5 The sound file is manually de-crackled using the "younglove method" which utilizes Powercore's decrackle plug-in or Algorithmix ScratchFree Pro. This removes the extremely small clicks with little or no degradation to the sound file. (Crackle can be thought of as the sound produced when you crush dry leaves.) STEP 6 The sound file is now de-noised of broadband noise using either: Algorithmix Noise Free Pro, Powercore Restoration Suite's denoise, Waves X-Noise, Arboretum Systems Ionizer, or Arboretum systems Raygun Pro. These are used in very low settings. STEP 7 If needed, De-hum is performed using Algorithmix reNOVAtor, Waves X-Hum and/or arboretum systems Ionizer. This ends the 32 bit 44.1khz convert lp to cd processing. STEP 8 Your sound file is split into separate tracks and burned onto an archival Silver-Silver CD (maufacturer states no data loss for at least one hundred years if properly taken care of). An upgrade to a 24k Tru-Gold CD is available for an additional $3.00 (manufacturer states no data loss for at least two hundred to three hundred years if properly taken care of). Your newly created CD will then be shipped to you in a paper sleeve along with your original album. |
