Audio restoration for old and damaged recordings
We clean and repair old or damaged recordings, removing noise, clicks and crackle while keeping the character of the original. We restore with Algorithmix processors and iZotope tools.
What is audio restoration?
Audio restoration is the careful removal of noise and damage from a recording, so the original can be heard clearly again. It covers hiss and hum, clicks and pops, tape problems and digital artefacts.
We analyse the recording first, then remove only what does not belong to the performance, so the integrity and character of the original are preserved.
Restoration suits rare live performances, family recordings, archives and collections, whether the source is vinyl, tape or digital.
Who is it for?
Collectors and archivists
Rare, historical or archival recordings that need preserving.
Families
Cherished recordings that have deteriorated over time.
Artists and labels
Reissues and catalogue material taken from old recordings.
Process
How does audio restoration work here?
Four steps, all online.
Step 1
Send the recording
Share the best copy you have, with notes on what bothers you most.
Step 2
We analyse it
The engineer analyses the recording to find noise, damage and artefacts before any processing starts.
Step 3
We restore it
Noise, clicks, pops and artefacts are removed, then the tone is balanced so the result sounds natural.
Step 4
You review and approve
Listen to the restored version and send feedback.
What do you receive?
A restored version of your recording, cleaned and balanced, with the character of the original kept.
- Noise, clicks, pops and scratches removed
- Tape problems such as dropouts, wow and flutter and hiss addressed
- Digital artefacts removed and the tone balanced
- Optional enhancement for clarity or warmth
Restoration questions
What can audio restoration fix?
Restoration can reduce or remove hiss, hum, crackle, clicks, pops, scratches, tape dropouts, wow and flutter, and digital artefacts.
Will restoration change how my recording sounds?
Restoration removes noise and damage and balances the tone, while preserving the integrity and character of the original recording.
Can you restore vinyl and tape?
Yes. We restore recordings from vinyl records, magnetic tape and digital sources.
Is audio restoration the same as forensic audio?
No. Restoration cleans a recording for listening. Forensic audio examines and enhances recordings for legal and investigative matters, and is a separate service.
