Audio Rescue
For almost
5 decades, all recordings of music, concerts, speeches, family archives and
other information were recorded on analog tape, reel to reel and cassette, then
transferred to vinyl 33-1/3 rpm LP record. When digital recording became easier
and affordable, the expensive and complex analog equipment was discarded in
favor of the new digital format. Meanwhile, what happens to those decades of
valuable and sometimes one-of-a-kind analog recordings?
Sadly, very little equipment remains to play these older recordings, and the
recordings are in a constant state of deterioration, some faster than others.
All vinyl and tape recordings are friction-based mediums, and were played by
either dragging the tape across a playback head or dragging a stylus needle
through the vinyl LP grooves; each time the recording is played, friction wears
away the original recording a little more. To further complicate matters, mold
and mildew grow in the record grooves, collecting along with dust and
fingerprints; other vinyl LP and tape enemies are heat and
humidity.
As time goes on and audio materials degrade, recordings can be lost forever. If
you have old recordings, it’s time to save them while we still can.
Audio Rescue is a service offered to literally rescue important recordings,
transfer them to a digital
format, restore those recordings with noise reduction and mastering techniques
then store the rescued audio to a more modern and accessible format, the
CD or compact disc. It is safe to say that the CD will be around for several
decades to come, and the CD has several clear advantages over old tape and vinyl
formats; size, audio quality, ease of storage and playability, and that it is a
frictionless medium, read by a laser beam of light.
