NOTE: These samples are taken from a typical restoration session here at CVC Productions. They were in no way "specially" processed, or "prepped" to sound great (as it is frequently the case in advertising. Just ask a TV commercial producer what they use in cereal commercials when they show milk. Hint: it ain't milk. . .). By the way, Custom and Professional Sound Restoration processing are available at our studio rates. |
