Changing Times<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
By Emmet Robinson<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When Bob Dylan wrote “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” he was reminding us that the process of life is subject to occasional revision.<\/div>\n
When I started this business, most of the work involved attending live events and capturing the sounds on open reel tape. There were club and coffeehouse performances, speeches and seminars. An economics symposium at the Federal Reserve Bank in Philly required two recorders, two days and an entire carton of tapes. There were piano concerts at the Philadelphia Art Museum, a variety show at the Academy of Music and a violin concert at New York’s Lincoln center. Closer to home, recording the late John Denver at a local club was a special treat.<\/div>\n
At the same time, the studio began attracting a growing number of musicians whose work ranged from bluegrass to jazz to classical to rock.<\/div>\n
Then, slowly, gradually, the nature and texture of the business began to change with an increasing number of requests for restoration and preservation of vintage original recordings, both on vinyl and on tape. Over time, restoration would expand to include videos, photographs and\u00a0\u00a0 documents. Now, restoration constitutes the bulk of the business, and I’m busy all the time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Getting Here from There<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Restoration\/preservation work is delivered here in one of two ways. The safest, most secure method is done in person, by appointment\u00a0 \u2013 with a mask on, of course!<\/div>\n
On arrival, ring the doorbell, open the door, step in and deposit your materials on the bottom steps. The door will be secured immediately after you leave and your materials will be taken either to the control room for audio or the graphics room for video or photo work. Your instructions can be easily confirmed by phone or email.<\/div>\n
If in-person delivery is inconvenient, the U. S. Postal service has proven remarkably dependable. Over the years, materials have arrived safely from Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Hawaii and Munich, Germany.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Packaging<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
To ensure safe shipment of your materials, package them carefully. Original disk recordings can be sandwiched between double layers of corrugated cardboard, with the grain in alternating directions for maximum rigidity. Tapes can be bubble-wrapped and sent in a padded envelope or carton. Crumpled newspaper will cushion carton contents nicely.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hint:<\/b>\u00a0Always send by Certified Mail. This requires me to sign a postcard acknowledging receipt. The signed post card will be returned to you. Always send to the\u00a0post office box<\/i>\u00a0for maximum security.\u00a0 See above.<\/b><\/div>\n

IN THE STUDIO<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
VOICES<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Atlantic City Nights\u2026<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
is an exciting and engaging novel by James C. McCusker describing the rise and fall of a fictional New Jersey crime boss. It\u2019s exciting due to the violent activities of the characters. It\u2019s engaging because the author keeps the reader moving forward through the pages to find out what happens next.<\/div>\n
Assigned the pleasurable task of producing an audiobook from more than 300 printed pages, I found myself faced with a challenge \u2013 and some decisions to make.<\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0The printed page doesn\u2019t always convert well to the spoken word. Should I take occasional liberties with the text?<\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0With more than two dozen characters, should I just read their dialogue as it appears on the pages? Or should I give them individual voices?<\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0And should I use my acting skills to put meat on their bones and give real life to a highly emotional story? In a demonstration of extraordinary trust, I was given free rein to use my own judgment.<\/div>\n
Minor editorial adjustments were easy. Not so easy was keeping track of the different voices of the characters. Since \u201cVinny,\u201d the lead character, was short and pugnacious, I gave him a high, nasal, strident voice. \u201cLorraine,\u201d his long-suffering wife, would be a mellow alto. \u201cAlberto,\u201d the family consigliere, would be basso profundo. And \u201cUncle Phil\u201d would have the slow, ponderous baritone of one of comedian Red Skelton\u2019s TV characters from the 1950s. The rest would find their voices as I went along. When it got too confusing, I made reference CDs of each.<\/div>\n
Luckily, in a story of this kind, several characters were killed off as the story progressed. I could then skip a chapter or two and reassign their voices to new characters as they appeared.<\/div>\n
It took time. Beginning in June, I was able to wrap up just before the December holidays.<\/div>\n
As I submitted each completed chapter for review and approval, Jim served as editor letting me know where corrections or revisions were needed.<\/div>\n
Oh! This was fun! I love acting! Planned for release in the spring,\u00a0Atlantic City Nights<\/i>\u00a0has been a labor of love for the two of us. We think you\u2019ll enjoy it. For details, go to<\/div>\n

FAQ<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Q:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Narrating\u00a0Atlantic City Nights<\/i>\u00a0must have been a demanding project. In addition to giving each character a distinctive voice, you also demonstrate an exceptionally wide vocal range. How do you maintain that?<\/div>\n
A:<\/b><\/span>\u00a0I\u2019ve worked as a professional singer for more than fifty years \u2013 until the pandemic forced me to cancel my concert series. And I study operatic vocal technique.<\/div>\n
Q:<\/b><\/span>\u00a0In the studio, do you read directly from the book?<\/div>\n
A:<\/b><\/span>\u00a0No, I work from a customized printout of the complete text. I reformat it to suit my needs and print each character\u2019s dialogue in a different color.<\/div>\n
Q:<\/b><\/span>\u00a0What part of the project was the most fun?<\/div>\n
A:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>The emotional scenes!\u00a0<\/b>I loved the arguments between characters. In the studio, all alone, I could really let myself go! And the application I used allowed overlapping the characters\u2019 voices slightly so that the exchanges sounded real.<\/div>\n
Q:<\/b><\/span>\u00a0When would you like to start another audiobook?<\/div>\n
A:<\/b><\/span>\u00a0What time is it now?<\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
FROM THE ATTIC<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
The Good Ol\u2019 Days<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
In the fall of 1961, I discovered a coffeehouse where live music was being played. The warmth of the voices and the mellow sounds of unamplified guitars captured my heart, and led me to a life in the performing arts. For that reason I took particular pleasure in preserving Russ and Steve\u2019s music.<\/div>\n
Their home recordings of original tunes and cover versions of then-current hits was very easy to listen to.<\/div>\n
Their pleasant voices, blended in harmony or counterpoint, sang songs of hope, love, loss and inspiration \u2013 with a little humor thrown in for seasoning. Their guitar work, mostly fingerpicking, was both excellent and tasteful.<\/div>\n
Overall, their music reminded me of the good ol\u2019 days when the music wasn\u2019t so heavily amplified.<\/div>\n
The first of two open-reel tapes was quite long, running nearly three hours and required the better part of two days to process and convert to both CD and flash drive.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
FROM THE PHOTO SHOPPE<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Preserving Mom<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
The original photo had been printed on matte paper, then patiently hand-tinted by an expert. This method of producing a color image, begun before the advent of color film, was still in popular use into the 1940s. It also relied more on talent than on technology.<\/div>\n
When copies were needed for family members, the photo was brought here. As the size was larger than my scanner capacity, I used an outside expert to produce a high-resolution digital file.<\/div>\n
With that in my computer, I could retouch a few small blemishes and produce the first copy. Then, comparing the copy with the original, I could make what adjustments were needed to closely match the colors. The required number of copies were printed, and an archival disk made of the digital image.<\/div>\n
None of these techniques was covered when I was attending U.S. Air Force Photography School!<\/div>\n
The original and copies were then carefully packaged and returned to the client by Certified Mail.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
World Tour<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Ed\u2019s world tour continued with color slides of\u00a0 Saudi Arabia, Beirut, Bankok, Hawaii, Rome, Naples Pompei, Capri, Florence and the Amalfi coast. The images varied widely in quality. Some nearly jumped off the screen at me, while others needed \u201corthopedic help.\u201d A few weren\u2019t useable at all and were not included in the final video.<\/div>\n
With some slides, the film had become detached from the mount and had to be carefully reset. Others had been loaded into the carousel incorrectly and had to be realigned.<\/div>\n
Once all of the details had been attended to, what a pleasure it was to sit back with my popcorn and enjoy a world tour without leaving my easy chair!<\/div>\n
Got any slides?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When It Was Safe to Travel<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
When I went to Disney World in 1972, time restraints prevented me from seeing and doing everything I wanted to. I\u2019ve always wanted to go back, but current conditions don\u2019t allow it. Luckily a client took his family there when it was still safe to travel and captured their adventures on 35mm color film slides. My, how it\u2019s grown!<\/div>\n
(Remind me to order more popcorn!)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
OLD FAVORITES<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
The most enjoyable part of tape and disk restoration is being able to listen to the stories of those who lived in an earlier time. Here\u2019s another favorite.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The Railroader<\/span><\/h4>\n
An old open-reel recording from long ago provided me with a real challenge. Recorded many years ago and stored in a poor location, the tape was covered with mildew! Once the tape surface was made playable, several defective splices had to be carefully redone. The reward was well worth the effort. In an unusually clear recording, I learned all about what railroad travel was like \u2013 in the 1920s!<\/div>\n
All locomotives were steam powered, noisy, and generated huge volumes of ash and soot. Those who could bought tickets. Those without funds would make \u201cother arrangements.\u201d<\/div>\n
For example, underneath the typical freight car were rows of steel rods running the length of the car and helping to support the load. For the daring traveler it was possible to get a free ride by climbing under a car and lying on those rods. Incredibly dangerous, the practice became widespread during the worst of the Great Depression. During the winter months, a number of men would be found at the end of the line\u2013 frozen to death on the rods.<\/div>\n
Hearing these real-life adventures described by someone who lived them was exciting! Old photographs are static; people’s voices have\u00a0movement,<\/i>\u00a0and are far more interesting.<\/div>\n
Whenever I take the local train into the city, I take a moment to appreciate the ease and comfort of today\u2019s comfortable, air-conditioned rail travel.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
There was a time in America when we documented and preserved our special people, places and events with 35mm color film slides.<\/div>\n
Now, in the absence of projectors, millions of those slides remain unviewed, tucked away in boxes in closets, attics, basements or garages.<\/div>\n
How many do you have?<\/div>\n
And what will you do with them? And the memories they represent?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Consider having them professionally scanned and converted to a video DVD or flash drive.<\/div>\n

formats \u2013 portrait vs. landscape.<\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0Dull, lifeless images can be greatly improved.\u00a0*<\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0Flaws in the images can be reduced \u2013 or removed altogether.\u00a0*<\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0For maximum flexibility, your video can be on disk or flash drive.<\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0One extra DVD is provided at no charge.<\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0Another free DVD is retained here as backup.<\/div>\n
