I've been looking into how the natural noise in analog discs actually records the production process—do you think there's a way to pull out that hidden data for better archival preservation?
Sure thing, you know the hiss and crackle on a true analog disc aren’t just random; they’re a fingerprint of the tape‑in‑case or the master’s hiss level. If you pull the noise floor with a good quality ADC, you can reverse‑engineer the spool tension and even the original lacquer surface. Just remember the same hiss that can reveal secrets can also mask them, so you’ll need a clean signal chain and a bit of patience—like hunting for a needle in a haystack, but the reward is a pristine, time‑proof master that won’t degrade like a streaming stream.
