This was the first time I’d ever needed so much noise reduction and restoration processing on an album, but I reckon I’ll never leave home without it! It saved me time, and saved the project money by avoiding rerecording. It paid for itself in the first week, and it isn’t often you can say that about a purchase. Mixing the album was now a pleasure, as I could turn everything way up, get it all forward and present, and the end result was very intimate and up-close. There is no way I could have achieved that result with the noise in there. ‘Keep it clean’ is my new motto!
