Today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast features Grammy-winning mastering engineer and audio restoration specialist Michael Graves.
Graves discusses nearly thirty years of recovering recordings, from Stax songwriter demos found on tapes with tire marks on the reels to cardboard acetates made by World War II servicemen. He walks through the painstaking work of separating a great performance from the damaged medium it's trapped on—and the ethical questions that arise when the artist is no longer around to weigh in.
There's a lot to learn in this delightfully geeky episode of our podcast. Be sure to tune in: https://podcast.thetonearm.com/michael-graves-the-patient-philosophy-of-audio-restoration-osiris-studio/

This is a really great podcast. Michael's backstory instantly brought back some really fond memories that I haven't thought about for a long time.
Back in the 80's I loved using an app call Cool Edit (Pro?), which was developed by Syntrillium (before it was sold to Adobe).
I would record old family vinyl records, and spend HOURS removing all the clicks and pops. It also had some really nice plugins for noise removal.
Dang, I wish I had kept going with it.
