CLOSE UP: CHARLES LAURENCE PRODUCTIONS

Recording and Restoration: Charles Laurence runs an attention-grabbing ad in MC headlined "Save Your Tapes!" While it focuses on his unique array of audio and video transfer and restoration services, that only scratches the surface. His Porter Ranch facility is also a one-stop shop and a true state-of-the-art recording, production, and remastering facility. Leveraging his educational background as a Chemical Engineering/Electronics major and Music minor at Cal State Northridge, he augments his 24- and 32-track analog and digital music production with an on-site grand piano, percussion, and multiple synths. His audio production library also includes thousands of sound effects. The main studio is dedicated to new recording projects while much of his space is dedicated to vintage analog tape restoration (including baking, transfers, legacy data acquisition, and digital transfer processes). His credits for remastering high-profile classic pop and jazz recordings include music ranging from Billie Holiday and Dizzy Gillespie to Ike and Tina Turner.
