Abstract
The system and corresponding process includes a system for producing a mechanical image of original audio source media and a system for encoding the mechanical image information into a digital file. A processing system recovers the mechanical image information from the digital file at a receiving end. Audio processing is used to produce the original audio source material without the standard losses associated with digital encoding of audio material.
Claims3
A system for maintaining quality of audio recordings, comprising:
- wherein the audio recording is an original vinyl audio recording containing original analog recording audio;
- a mechanical production system for producing a groove image of the track geometry of the vinyl audio recording, resulting in an image file containing the geometric data of the track image in an image creating format, the image file being transmittable to a receiving end;
- a decoding mechanism at the receiving end for the transmitted image file;
- an image reproducing system recreating the groove image, geometrically arranged to be a copy of the vinyl recording track geometry containing the original analog recording audio;
- and
- a dimensional printing device for printing the vinyl audio recording from the recreated groove image, playable directly.
