  1. Professionally clean the LP with the Loricraft PRC4 Professional Record Cleaning System (without a doubt the worlds finest record cleaner), so it sounds the best it possibly can...this step is extremely important as it cuts out probably 95% of the pops and clicks in most records due to dirt or static. If someone besides GDM is recording your records, make sure and ask them what they use to clean their records with!
     

  2. Record the LP or CASSETTE onto my computer as a wave file using a low output amp designed specifically for this purpose and an external sound card, both which cut out any buzz sounds that higher amps and some internal sound cards produce.
     

  3. Run the wave file through a pop and noise filter to help reduce and even eliminate many of the crackling and pops in many LP'S and reduce the hiss found on most CASSETTES (not a $20-$40 extra charge like other companies). We put these settings very low because the record is crystal clean from the Loricraft and also we do not want to alter  the sound quality of the album. Often times we will go in by hand and remove any remaining pops and clicks that we hear or see on the song file. We want it to sound the best it can when we're done with it.
     

  4. Break the wave file into tracks. We do this by hand and do not use 'automatic' software to do this very important job, because ANY software (no matter how expensive) is inaccurate and we want it to be perfect.
     

  5. Run wave files through a music enhancer to help bring the highs and lows of the album alive. Again, this is done at a very low  level so as not to overwhelm the album and make it sound bad or distorted.
     

  6. Clear out the noisy space between songs and then fade in the beginning of each song and fade out the end of each song so it sounds just like a normal CD. Again, this task is all done by hand, not software.
     

  7. Record it onto a CD.
     

  8. Scan the front cover, stitch it together, touch up any bad spots, print out the album cover with the song list on back (not a $10-$20 charge like other companies).
     

  9. Safely ship your LP & CD or CASSETTE & CD back to you so you can enjoy the music
