Physical cleaning and/or repairing of original master elements whether magnetic or optical, relabeling and bar coding of those masters, simultaneous transferring of these tracks to both 32-track digital and analog 24-track protection masters, the shipping and protection of masters off the lot to storage facilities. Older sound masters with unique inconsistencies are processed through the sonic solution system, which is a digital noise removal system. Sonic solution equipment removes distracting noise from the valuable titles without damaging the integrity of the original mix of track. This affords the preservationist the ability to chose many different degrees of noise reduction with minimal adverse effect upon the original soundtrack. Most importantly, this process allows all this flexibility and improved quality through the digital medium eliminating any additional analog generation loss. Universal itself solely continues to evaluate emerging technology which could assist our sound preservation goals. Universal Studios has mutually cooperative relatiomhips with various archives, museums, foundations, Ubraries, and educational institutions. Because of this relationship we are able to inquire as to the availability of alternate film elements on our various titles. Occasionally we have found different versions of elements for use in preservation in these institutions. In the past Universal has been cooperative in this manner to outside archives for the betterment of preservation. A large number of titles are also stored at the UCLA Fihn Archive, Library of Congress, Museum of Modem Art, Museum of Broadcasting, The Academy Foundation, etc. And under our existing a^eement scholars may access titles for research free of charge in a hbraiy or classroom environment.
