I provide comprehensive audio repair and restoration services designed to revive your recordings and enhance their quality. Audio imperfections such as background noise, clicks, pops, and distortion can distract from the listening experience and reduce the impact of your work. My audio repair services are carefully tailored to address these issues while preserving the essence of your original recording. Whether you’re a music producer, podcaster, or filmmaker, I’ll ensure your audio sounds clear, professional, and ready to captivate your audience.
Audio Restoration Services
Audio restoration involves a series of techniques aimed at repairing and enhancing recordings that have been damaged or degraded over time. These services are especially valuable for music producers, podcasters, and content creators who want to ensure their projects sound professional and polished. By utilising advanced software and techniques, I specialise in removing unwanted sounds such as hum, buzz, and clipping, which are common issues in recordings. The goal is to restore your audio to its original clarity, allowing the emotional and artistic intent of your work to shine through.
Audio Restoration Services
Audio restoration is a detailed process that focuses on repairing and enhancing recordings that may have deteriorated over time or suffered damage during production. It’s a lifeline for old tapes, vinyl records, and even modern digital recordings that have encountered technical challenges.
Using cutting-edge tools, I can tackle problems such as hum, buzz, and clipping, all of which are common culprits in audio degradation. These services are invaluable for:
- Music producers seeking to polish their tracks for release.
- Podcasters who need clean, clear audio to engage their listeners.
- Content creators who want their audio to sound as polished as their visuals.
The goal of my audio restoration services is simple: to bring clarity and balance back to your recordings, allowing your artistic vision to shine through unfiltered and uninterrupted.

Removing Background Noise and Distortion
One of the most common problems in recordings is background noise, which can originate from various sources, including electrical interference and environmental sounds. I utilise sophisticated noise reduction tools that can effectively isolate and eliminate these unwanted sounds. This process not only cleans up the audio but also ensures that the main elements of the recording — dialogue/vocals, instruments, and other crucial components — remain unaffected.
I can clear up distortion, often caused by overloading the recording signal or capturing audio in less-than-ideal conditions. This includes smoothing out harsh sounds and repairing clipping artefacts that can occur during recording. By carefully analysing the audio, I can identify problem areas and apply corrective measures that restore a balanced and natural sound. With my audio repair service your audience will be none the wiser!
Reverb Reduction Services
Reverb can add depth and character to a recording, but too much can overwhelm the main elements, making vocals and instruments sound distant or muddy. My reverb reduction services use precise techniques to control excessive reverb, ensuring your audio remains focused and engaging. This is particularly beneficial for live performances, studio recordings in reflective spaces, and other scenarios where clarity is crucial.
Audio Rebalancing Services
Vocal and Instrument Rebalancing
This technique is useful for rebalancing tracks where different elements may be competing for attention. By isolating vocals and instruments in a printed mix, I can adjust their levels ensuring that each component of your recording stands out effectively. This is particularly beneficial for live recordings where the mix may not have been perfectly balanced at the time of capture. Rebalancing can also help if the multitracks have been lost and only the single stereo file is available to be worked on.
When different elements in a mix compete for attention, the result can feel cluttered and unbalanced. With audio rebalancing techniques, I isolate and adjust specific components in your recordings, such as vocals and instruments. Whether you need to bring a lead vocal forward or give a guitar solo the prominence it deserves, I’ll fine-tune the mix to ensure every element stands out.
This service is especially useful for:
- Live recordings where the original mix wasn’t perfect.
- Projects where only a stereo file is available, and multitrack adjustments aren’t possible.
Every adjustment I make is geared toward enhancing the emotional and artistic impact of your work, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in your sound.
Restoration of Old Audio Recordings
Old recordings often come with their own set of challenges—tape hiss, vinyl pops, or general wear from years of storage. My restoration services for old audio recordings focus on reviving these valuable pieces while staying true to their original character.
Whether it’s a family heirloom, a demo from years ago, or an archival project, I’ll work to remove unwanted noise and repair damage while enhancing clarity. The result? Recordings that sound fresh and vibrant, ready to be enjoyed by a new generation of listeners.
