resurrecting sound

 
WELCOME to Osiris Studio.

Osiris Studio provides audio restoration, mastering and media transfer services. Grammy Award winning mastering engineer Michael Graves has been working with analog media most of his life. He founded Osiris Studio in 2002 and has worked with hundreds of clients converting and preserving audio. Those clients include record labels, museums and archives, and personal collections. Because of the nature of most of the projects with which he works (rare, one-of-a-kind recordings, deteriorating media, etc.) Michael Graves operates his business with this basic philosophy: to provide his customers with the highest quality product he possibly can, because there may not be another chance to do so. This goal is achieved by a comprehensive knowledge of all aging media types, using only the best possible playback equipment, employing uncompromising analog to digital converters and delivering the final audio on a media format that is archivally stable, useable and best suited to the customer’s needs.

If any form of digital audio restoration is required (tape de-hiss, record noise removal, etc.) Osiris Studio employs the use of CEDAR. CEDAR is the best, most natural sounding noise removal software/hardware available. Its ability to remove unwanted noise from a recording while maintaining the integrity of the original sound is unequaled in the field of audio restoration.

Michael Graves’ audio restoration work on historical recordings has been released by several recording labels. In 2009 Graves received the Grammy Award for Best Historical Album for his restoration and mastering work on Dust-to-Digital’s “Art of Field Recording: Volume I : 50 Years of Traditional American Music Documented by Art Rosenbaum”. This and other projects have received favorable reviews and critical acclaim by many major news organizations including: National Public Radio, The New Yorker, The New York

Times, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Rolling Stone, Down Beat and others.

Michael Graves is a member of the Association of Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC), The Audio Engineering Society (AES), and is a voting member for the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. Graves also serves on the advisory board of the Rialto Center for the Arts in Atlanta, GA.
