His classical music background gives him the ability to hear nuance in traditional and contemporary classical musical styles that are acoustic in nature.

Restoration can reduce or completely remove unwanted artifacts such as tape hiss, drop-outs, clicks, and crackles introduced on vinyl records.

For Musicians

Perhaps you are a musician or hobbyist who has recorded and/or mixed music in analog, cassette or DAT tape format, and you now want to digitize your end product.

For the Public

Or, maybe you’re not a musician, but you have an old recording of your high school choir concert, or you found an old reel-to-reel recording of your grandfather serenading your grandmother.

The Process

Allen Corneau Mastering is set up to transfer your older format audio into digital quickly, cleanly, and affordably.

Your original audio format will be transferred onto computer and converted to digital format. Once transferred, the audio can be restored and cleaned up, removing clicks, pops, hisses, and other noises, especially those introduced on old vinyl recordings or magnetic tapes.

For more information please contact Allen to discuss your transfer and restoration needs.
