Meet the Cube-Tec and the PrestoSpace Team at IBC in Amsterdam
PrestoSpace
is an European Union 6th Frame Program Integrated Project, with 9 Million Euro in funding provided by the European Union.
Within the PrestoSpace consortium lead by BBC, INA and RAI, Cube-Tec International is the Project Leader for the Audio Subsystem, and the primary Research & Development partner for Audio Restoration.
At IBC, Cube-Tec will showcase some of the PrestoSpace developments, including sophisticated technologies for manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic audio restoration, incorporating complete scalability ranging from a single PC to a fully integrated "Sound Preservation Factory". Download the new PrestoSpace Flyer to learn more on the PrestoSpace Audio Restoration Subsystem.
The powerful "CD-Inspector" range of products has been expanded and now includes a solution that can be tailored to meets needs ranging from a single CD drive to a Jukebox solution capable of handling more than 700 CD's.
When it comes to reliabitity and work-flow efficiency, nothing compares to CD-Inspector.
There are 3 versions of jukeboxes, that currently can be used with the CD-Inspector. They differ in the number of media slots and the number of drives to be installed.
DISC NSM 3000 - 145 to 285 media, up to 6
CD drives
DISC NSM 4000 - 260 to 415 media, up to 7
CD drives
DISC NSM 7000 - 510 to 705 media, up to 14 CD drives
The International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) and the Baltic Audiovisual Archival Council (BAAC) announce the conference.
The conference will address themes associated with the tasks audiovisual archives are facing in a world undergoing rapid change. It is essential that archives develop new ways to meet future demands.
Analogue and digital collections will coexist for a while yet, depending on the resources made available for the preservation of analogue material, the digitisation process, and the management of digital content. Digitisation is now recognised as the way to go to save our audiovisual heritage, but the issues of future migration and the sustainability of digital archives still need to be addressed.
Unlock Audio Conference - Meet the Cube-Tec Team and see the QUADRIGA installation at British Library
Unlocking Audio is an international conference exploring the planning and strategies required for the successful execution of large-scale audio digitisation projects, and the technical and practical issues involved. Aimed at actual practitioners, sharing best practice and looking at emerging standards. It will be held in the newly constructed British Library Centre for Conservation.
DeClipper - World Class Audio Repair for Pro Tools
Salvage a superb live take that might otherwise be lost forever.
Cube-Tec has released the DeClipper to the growing family of AudioCube VPI's (plug-ins) for the Digidesign Pro Tools platform.
For several years, the AudioCube version of DeClipper has been utilized by some of the world's most respected mastering and re-mastering facilities including Bernie Grundman Mastering, Capitol Studios, Universal Music and Smithsonian Folkways. Now the same tool is available to Pro Tools users (RTAS and AudioSuite, Mac only).
DeClipper is a powerful tool used to recover the loss of peak signals due to clipping from recording over full-scale digital ("digital overs").
Not only is the dynamic range of the original recording reconstructed; DeClipper also eliminates the distortion components and the aliasing spectrum that might be created, as clipped program often has square wave characteristics.
A level histogram and a de-clipping LED make it a snap to recognize clipped program, and a value field displays how much additional headroom would be required to restore the missing peaks. Using the "Level" fader you can create the headroom needed, and the algorithm will automatically calculate the shape that the waveform would have had, if no clipping had occurred.
The DeClipper is a unique sound restoration tool that allows a user to deal with the digital headroom problem simply and effectively, and keep that perfect guitar solo or amazing vocal take that might otherwise have been lost.
Other restoration tools now available from Cube-Tec for the Pro Tools platform include DeBuzz, DeCrackler, DeScratcher, RepairFilter and SpectralDeHiss.
If you'd like to get a trial license for your iLok key in order to try the DeClipper or other VPI's, please contact us.
