For many years now
I've been directly involved with analog tape restoration. I've restored
single reels for small record labels and I've also restored whole archives
with literally hundreds of reels for recording artists like The Kinks.
Please take a moment to read my journal from working
on the Kinks archive. Read for yourself about the level of care
and attention to details that I'll take with analog restorations and
archiving.
I remember first learning about tape shedding years back from a mentor,
Mike Rasfeld of Acme Recording. He was so furious to learn that the
recordings we were so carefully producing were turning to oxide muck
in just a few short years.
So I did some investigating and research for our trade association EARS'
(Chicago's Engineering And Recording Society) newsletter, The
Eardrum. You can read the very
story that started my analog tape restoration journey.
It's called "The Causes and Cures of Tape Shedding."
In a nutshell, I have the knowledge, experience, pride, and proper equipment
to do a great job recovering your deteriorating analog recordings. Check
out my credentials.
The laboratory incubator I'm using performs way beyond the specs needed
for uniform temperatures throughout the heating chamber. It also is
more stable, within a half of a degree, unlike the usual five degree
swing in household ovens. And as the incubator is electrically heated,
tapes don't pick up excess moisture like they'll do in gas fired ovens.
Additionally, I'm keen on current
high resolution digital technologies that your precious analog reels
deserve. I'll find a suitable long term storage medium for your project.
I can even assist you with guidelines for storage of your own master
tape libraries.

Mallory
Mike
has restored several recordings for Paul Mallory's family. Paul was
a hipster jazz cat during the early 1950's who played in Havana, Cuba
and in Miami Beach, Florida with his cool trio. He had a great big dapper
baratone voice and swingin' piano stylings. Later Paul provided piano
music for the dance community too. It was a pleasure to bring these
tracks back into the light of day
after many years of storage.
