Hollywood, CA (May 26, 2021)—United Archiving, a division of United Recording in Hollywood, has launched a video series on the preservation, management and income-generating potential of valuable audio assets.
With 35 years in the industry as a Grammy-nominated recording engineer and mixer, chief engineer Bill Smith is proficient in caring for, reviving, reconditioning and restoring audio assets, as well as computer-based data tape systems. In the introductory 3-minute episode, he explains, “Archiving is extremely important for many reasons. First off, you are preserving your music and recorded history and can be confident that you will never lose your assets due to degradation or aging.
“You can also take those assets and repurpose them into modern day usage for Dolby Atmos mixes, 5.1 mixes and stereo remixes with high-resolution delivery capability. Audio assets can additionally be utilized for sync licensing opportunities for film, television and commercial usage. Proper archiving opens up numerous possibilities for a wide array of potential income streams.”
