An audio recording can provide critical clues. But you can't present the evidence or make accurate transcripts if your audio is unintelligible. That's why forensic audio restoration is so highly valued by attorneys, private investigators and law enforcement agencies. Berkeley Sound Artists, Inc. is a leader in the field of postproduction audio. Academy Award™ winning filmmakers and giants of the computer gaming industry, like Electronic Arts, trust in our ability to provide pristine soundtracks for their projects. We take the same combination of technology and skill and apply it to the restoration of forensics material that would otherwise be inadmissible as evidence. Audio restoration or "cleaning up" can improve a poorly recorded conversation or video. Virtually any format of original source material can be restored including, micro cassettes, body wires, phone taps and court hearing tapes. Through the use of computer software it is possible to extract conversations from analog recordings contaminated with tape noise, distortion, telephone interference, machinery and everyday street sounds. Rest assured that your original recording is never altered or at risk. Additionally, transferring tape based recordings to a digital format like CDs or MP3s makes it easier to locate and play key sections of your material. Played too often, tapes can lose their clarity or break. Digital sound can be reviewed on a CD/DVD player, PC or laptop. Working in digital also makes it easier to work with most trial presentation software. Give us a call today and find out how Berkeley Sound Artists can put forensic audio restoration to work for you.
