Audiorestorations from Moloy Ghosh

Sunday, 19 February 2023

Friends, please subscribe to my newly launched Youtube Channel containing rare Audio recordings from Gramophone records/Audio Cassettes that are mostly from my personal collection. This can be very helpful for any of my potential customer as it gives an insight into the sample remastered output if the Record/Audio Cassette is in relatively good condition.

Sample audio output from a LP/EP/Audio Cassette

A very catchy Western instrumental conducted by the legendary Paul Mauriat. We have tried to enhance the audio quality on the whole without compromising on the original appeal of the LP, and also eliminate the occasional pops and hisses of an LP.

A very touchy Bengali song composed by the poet Rajani Kanta Sen and sung by the legendary Smt Krishna Chatterjee, this song too has been digitised from an LP.

Sample audio output from a 78 RPM record

A gem of a bhajan by Shri KC Dey taken from a 78 RPM record, this was originally recorded way back in 1930s, we have tried to remove the unwanted hisses which sometimes make a song in a 78 RPM record so difficult to listen to, also we have tried to enhance the audio quality on the whole.

Evolution of our work

When we came into this business in 2009, the most well known digital storage media used to be CDs and the first choice of all music connoisseurs after original Gramophone records used to be Audio CDs. As many of my publicities in the initial years nicely covered, we used to make a CD cover as a replica of the LP that we digitize to add more nostalgic flavors to it. Slowly after 2014 when pen drives started becoming cheaper, demand for recordings in pen drives increased and since there were no question of cover page design and CD burning, we were able to give an economical rate compared to CDs to our esteemed customers although real connoisseurs still preferred CDs to pen drives because of the difference of the audio qualities, post 2016, when it was becoming increasingly difficult for us to get good quality Sony/Moser Baer CDs, we discontinued CDs altogether and now we give the recordings only in Pen Drives to be given by our customers. From 2015, we started accepting raw digitized files from customers where we offer only the remastering services at much cheaper rates. The details of the tracks have to be given by our customers so that we can break the raw recordings into relevant tracks with their names and enhance the audio qualities alongwith noise reduction on the whole.
