Meher AMBCSC Archive

AMBCSC ARCHIVES is a depository of print, audio, photo, film and Meher Baba’s precious personal relics. The archive film assets now number over 2000 units mostly home movies. The Archive approach is to reclaim the video and the audio from these home movies which is a very demanding task. Most films were not shot with professional equipment thus the viewer needs to be informed otherwise there is the expectation that the sound quality should be exceptional. That is false. Most folks shot Advent events without running a professional microphone to the subject thus the on board microphone’s quality is considerably degraded. The microphone has no intelligence. The microphone will record what it ‘hears’ thus whistles, door slamming, coughing, motorcycle noise and all sundry of noise artifact is collected. However our team using advance audio tools will do its best to reclaim and redeem the compromised audio. Not ideal but at least we have a audio footprint of the oral history.
