digital remastering
Electronic audio restoration
Digital remastering is the process of enhancing older audio or video recordings using digital technology.
Original analog source material—master tapes, film negatives—is converted to digital format, then cleaned up, color-corrected, or sonically improved: The Beatles catalog underwent digital remastering in 2009.
The goal is to make classic content sound or look better on modern equipment while preserving artistic intent.
