Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

Digital signal processing methods are proposed that will modify sound files to appear aged by imitating historical disturbances. The opposite activity-audio restoration-which will improve the sound quality of old recordings, has been cultivated for the past few decades. Case studies of audio antiquing, rendering music files to sound like a phonograph, gramophone or LP recording, are presented.
