SERVICES and PRICES
for Professional Sound Restoration.

There are 5 levels of Professional Sound Restoration (depending on the quality of the source recording) and a Sound ReMastering option.

The client specifies SOUND RESTORATION. It is our task, upon listening, to determine the Sound Restoration Level required for completing the job. (We determine the Sound Restoration Level.)

SOUND RESTORATION

Typical sources in this condition is Magnetic Audio Tape (reel-to-reel tape) recorded in the studio or recorded live with studio equipment.

B. Sound Restoration Level 2.

Typical sources in this condition is Magnetic Audio Tape (reel-to-reel tape) recorded with consumer equipment or other forms of tape (cassette, audio from video tapes, etc.)

C. Sound Restoration Level 3.

The quality of the recording source is good, but there are impulse noises (clicks) or there is audible hum.
Typical sources in this condition are LP's, microgroove 33rpm or 45rpm records, 33rpm singles or 45rpm extended play. Also, glass masters and tapes.
There are audible clicks, but no scratches or crackle.
For tapes, there is audible hum, but no external continuous noises to filter out.

D. Sound Restoration Level 4.

The quality of the recording source is bad. There are impulse noises, larger clicks, and possible continuous noises to filter out.
Typical sources in this condition are 78rpm commercial records, 16 inch transcriptions, well-worn LP's and 45rpm's, tapes recorded with poor quality equipment.

E. Sound Restoration Level 5.

The quality of the recording source is extremely bad. There are impulse noises, scratches, incorrect recording levels, possible continuous noises to filter out.
Typical sources in this condition are 78rpm lacquers, home-made-records. LP's played too many times or played with faulty needles, tapes recorded with poor or faulty equipment, tapes or records stored improperly.

SOUND REMASTERING

Options A-E deal mainly with restoring the sound of the recording to the original sound, produced by the original sound engineer and producer. Although we may compensate for gross sound imbalances, we do not re-engineer the sound recording.

The client specifies SOUND REMASTERING. It is our task, upon listening, to determine the Sound ReMastering Option required for completing the job. (The client DOES NOT determine the Sound ReMastering Option.)

F. Sound ReMastering Option 1

Sound ReMastering option 1 will enhance a clean, but otherwise mediocre sound.

G. Sound ReMastering Option 2

Sound ReMastering option 2 will attempt to enhance a faulty original recording.
