Preservation of old recordings!

Have got hold of some old cassettes! Now am transferring cleaning and editing them! Should be fun. 


What I have heard is that these noise reduction softwares were originally used by NASA and american universities in 60s and 70s for cleaning the noise in the signals coming from space! Now the technology is in our studios! 


I think Ford Foundation had given lacks and lacks of rupees donation for the projects of preserving old recordings! Now we do it at home studios! At least till a reasonably listenable state!


Computer of today certainly changed the music world !!

  1. Computer of today has in fact changed the entire spectrum of this society. A great revolution. But at what cost? These days you find people miserably lagging far behind in basics. I do agree that this technology and development is amazing..but on any day i prefer to hear the sound of bamboo flute rather than an electronic sound.

  3. Please remind me, I have forgotten the amount of 1 lakh (this is the spelling I have seen in literature) but I can't remember how much it is.

  4. 1 hundred Thousand = 1 lack
    100 Lacks = 1 crore
