Our approach to audio for your business reflects our commitment to high quality production and an efficient workflow. We have experience in selecting the best voice actors, writing and editing scripts, picking the right music for your project, providing direction and putting it all together with industry-standard equipment and seasoned engineers.

Intelligibility Enhancement and Noise Removal: Original audio from cassette, micro cassette, flash or hard drive recorder or other source material can be cleaned up and enhanced for intelligibility. We will then return the audio to you or, if preferred, a transcription of the content.

Audio Reenactments: We can make calibrated, documented recordings to be used as evidence. Our engineers can also be called on to provide expert witness testimony about audio presented as evidence.

Tape & Vinyl Restoration/Transfers: We have the equipment and expertise required for the restoration and transfer of audio from a variety of source formats. In many cases, we can take your old reel-to-reel tapes, LPs and cassettes, as well as material from other formats and restore them to playable condition. We can then digitize the material transfer it to CD or to MP3 files for easy playback. We have a special oven for baking deteriorated reel-to-reel tapes and a variety of noise and “click and pop” reduction software programs available. Radio stations, musicians and even other studios have sent their restoration projects to us. Call for details.

At Audio for the Arts, we create a customized approach for each podcast and radio show that we produce. Some podcasters prefer to record their show on their own and send us files to edit and mix. Others prefer to trust us with the whole project so they can concentrate on generating content, knowing their podcast will sound professional and polished. Still, others prefer to learn how to record a podcast but need some help to get started. No matter your situation, we are happy to work with you to create a podcast that gets heard. Some of the podcasts and radio shows engineered by our team include Free Thought Radio, RSNA Radiology Podcast, The Big Wild, Voices from Afghanistan, the App Fairy, and more, reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners weekly.

Long Distance Recording Platforms include ISDN, ipDTL, Source Connect Now, Skype and similar platforms.
