George Blood Audio LP is a company specializing in audio, video, and film preservation.
“In a word: YES. We handle virtually every open-reel analog format up to 24 tracks, recorded at any speed, with any Dolby or dbx noise reduction system. If your tapes were originally synchronized with time code, we can also make synchronized transfers.”
“Absolutely. We will evaluate your tapes, determine the correct configuration, and ensure proper playback alignment and decoding—no worries if the documentation is missing.”
“We provide a digital mirror-image of your tape in Broadcast WAV files at the sample rate of your choice. Each track is captured as an individual file, making them fully compatible with popular DAWs (Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper, and more).”
“Certain tape formulations from the early ’70s onward can develop Sticky Shed Syndrome (SSS) due to binder breakdown. These tapes may stick to themselves or the tape path, causing squealing, speed fluctuations, and potential damage if played untreated.”
“Baking temporarily re-stabilizes the tape, allowing it to be safely played without shedding or stretching. This process does not typically degrade audio quality, and we’ve successfully restored thousands of tapes using precise, time-tested protocols.”
