Frequently asked questions
Stereo Remaster is an independent audio restoration project dedicated to improving the listening experience of vintage recordings through careful digital restoration and manual audio engineering.
Every recording is individually evaluated and processed. The objective is to preserve the musical character of the original while improving clarity, balance, and overall presentation.
Each release is manually restored rather than being processed with a one-click preset.
Depending on the source, the workflow may include:
- Click and pop removal
- Noise and hum reduction
- Tonal balancing and equalization
- Phase correction
- Stereo image reconstruction
- AI-assisted source separation where appropriate
- Manual editing and quality control
Every recording requires a different approach.

Where restoration is performed, the source material undergoes significant manual processing before the final version is produced. The amount of work varies depending on the condition of the recording and the desired result.
The restoration process may involve professional tools such as:
- iZotope RX
- Steinberg SpectraLayers
- REAPER
- Audacity
- Adobe Audition
- Other restoration and AI-assisted audio tools
