The New York Chapter of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections presents Part 2 of a 3 Part Series with Seth Winner and Jon Samuels discussing audio restoration techniques and their shared experiences in the historical reissue field.
SETH B. WINNER has been the president of Seth B. Winner Sound Studios and its only employee since April 1990. His clients include SONY, BMG, The New York Philharmonic, The Metropolitan Opera & Guild, The Minnesota Orchestra, Pavilion Records, The Warner Brothers Vitaphone Project, and many independent labels. His work has garnered an Honorable Mention and three nominations from NARAS/Grammy Foundation. Institutional clients have included preservation and studio setups for the Marr Sound Archives, UMKC, The Thomas Edison National Historical Park, and Harvard University. He was one of two engineers who preserved the holdings of the Benny Goodman & Benny Carter Collections housed at the Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University. Since 1987, Mr. Winner has been a sound preservation engineer at the New York Public Library, and has preserved numerous collections. He originally unpacked, sorted, and preserved on magnetic tape, the Toscanini collection (also known as the Toscanini Legacy) when the family donated it in 1986.
