AUDIO RESTORATION

Some recordings carry an irreplaceable value — whether historical, artistic, or deeply personal. At N Studio Lisbon, we offer professional audio restoration services for digital files, helping to recover the integrity and beauty of recordings that time or circumstance have worn down.

Working exclusively with digital audio files, our team combines refined processing techniques with years of experience in music and post-production. Crackles, pops, clicks, background noise, tape hiss, hum, and unwanted room sound can be attenuated or carefully removed — always with close attention to preserving the natural character of the original performance.

Beyond music, we work with a wide range of projects: cleaning production dialogue for film and television, restoring archival recordings, recovering damaged audio files, and improving the overall quality of existing productions. If your project begins with physical media — vinyl, reel-to-reel or cassette — we work with trusted digitisation partners and take the material from there; tape restoration is among the work we do most often.

RESTORATION AND REPAIR SERVICES

We offer a comprehensive range of treatments, each tailored to the specific needs of the recording: 

Noise and interference. Where a recording is dominated by its noise floor rather than by damage, we work on clicks and crackles, background noise, tape hiss, hum and buzz, wind and handling noise, and breath and mouth noise.

Damage and loss. When the signal itself has been compromised, treatment extends to clipping distortion, tape dropouts and glitches, and spectral repair of damaged or missing sections.

Tone and space. Finally, we address reverb and room sound, de-essing, stereo width and dynamic range, along with voice isolation where dialogue must be separated from its background.

Why Choose N Studio Lisbon?

Our team has extensive experience working with classical music, jazz, film soundtracks, and the remastering of archival recordings. Alongside that experience, we use industry-leading tools such as iZotope RX combined with our own processing workflows, developed over years of professional practice.
