Nearly all cylinder records are now over 100 years old and can greatly greatly benefit from audio restoration to improve the sound quality. If you require restoration services for your phonograph record to digital conversion please specify at checkout and we will give you a quote upon completion of the transfer.
Unfortunately there is no universal solution when it comes to fixing and restoring recorded sound. Audio restoration can be simple and take 15-20 minutes or take multiple hours depending on the issues present and techniques required to perform the work.
In the case of cylinder phonograph record digitizing many of the reproducer (or needle) noises present in the new digital audio transfer need to be removed by “hand” during the editing process. Most often it is only possible to reduce the amount of crackle present and not completely eliminate it. These sounds were inherent to cylinder phonograph recordings and are always present in the media. It is generally not possible to completely restore the sound from cylinder records but the acoustic quality can be vastly improved.
Please be aware that websites offering a fixed price for restoration work are generally using a “one size fits all” approach and potentially doing more harm than good to the finished audio. Each time unwanted noise is removed it affects the audio, restoration should be tailored towards the individual recording and changes within the recording.
We monitor your media the entire time it’s being converted and perform real time adjustments if necessary to ensure the best quality digital transfers. We are not a “big box” digitizing service and do not outsource any of our work. All of your cylinder phonograph records are converted digitally in house right here in the USA. Our digitizing services are archival quality with specific attention given to the individual needs of the customer on a per project basis.
Our new and vintage transfer equipment is regularly maintained, cleaned and calibrated to provide the best sound quality for your audio transfers.
