I have set up a digital and analog studio in my basement.
Originally I set it up to make my own demos and duplicate my own CDs. Several of my musician friends have also done demos here.
Eventually, I had to aquire software to convert my vinyl albums to CD. During this process I transferred some of my favorite old LPs, as well. Recently, I began to take on outside album conversion work and have become proficient at the process and of replicating the cover artwork as well.
At this point I have expanded my work area and added a professional grade Technics 1520 Reel-to-Reel 2 track, so I am capable of doing transfers from Vinyl LPs and 45s as well as cassette and 1/4 inch tapes.
My software also allows me to clean up the hiss, pop and scratch noise inherent in old vinyl albums and tape.
I can also output to MP3 or Ipod formats for uploading or emailing purposes.
Below are before and after samples of a clip of "Wildfire" from Michael Murphy's album "Blue Sky - Night Thunder" using the "pop and click filter".
