Restoration

Restoration is the removal or repair of anomalies in a soundtrack that may have resulted from wear and tear or technical errors induced in the audio program since its original production.

The process of restoration can be accomplished to differing degrees. A light restoration may include the removal of hiss and the repair of the most heinous pops and ticks in the soundtrack. A thorough restoration can involve many hours of meticulous craftsmanship to make the audio sound as good as possible considering its vintage and source.
