Preserving uncompressed analog warmth

We bypass digital remastering entirely. Our transfers capture the raw magnetic tape hiss, original aspect ratios, and physical grit of vintage broadcasts directly from the source.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The analog signal path

No digital correction. We route physical media through period-accurate hardware to preserve the original master sound.

Magnetic Tape

Uncompressed Audio

Archival Video

Transferred directly from original cassette and reel-to-reel decks with unaligned heads to capture native tape hiss.

Captured at 24-bit/192kHz resolution without modern compression algorithms or artificial noise reduction.

Digitized in original aspect ratios from vintage CRT monitors, retaining analog scanlines and raw broadcast artifacts.

OUR MANIFESTO

We keep the dust, the crackle, and the raw room sound exactly as it was captured.

Modern streaming has sanitized music. By stripping away the physical imperfections, they stripped away the soul. We exist to bring back the friction.
