Sermon Remastering Project
We have undertaken the great task of digitally re-mastering all 1180 MP3 sermons of Rev. William Branham; we have brought them not only to a higher quality than the original, but the highest quality that has ever been offered. For the past seven years we have been filtering, cleaning and tweaking Brother Branham’s sermons. Some may wonder how we were able to get them so clear. Just to mention some of the processes that we have employed. First we started by cleaning up what audio was there by synchronizing the base, pitch, treble and volume levels. Then we went about to bring all clipping back within human range. (Mechanical devices for audio playback are designed to remove any decibels that are harmful to the human ear. This is called a clipping effect, and many times the audio will simply sound squelched, muffled, or cut off, resulting in quality loss.) So, we brought all sound within the decibel ranges which will prevent any loss in content or quality. Then we adjusted the pitch treble and base levels along with adjusting the noise gate.
Our next approach was to remove any undesirable and added sounds as a result of bad recording, aging, and deteriorating of the original master. Knowing we did not want to lose any of the vocals of Rev. Branham; thus, we created an envelope of his voice and employed an algorithm of filtering by which we remove any popping, clicking, hissing, dragging, etc. that was outside of his vocal range. All the while making sure that the pitch, base, and balance maintained optimal levels. By this we were able to bring his voice back to a more natural sound that had been otherwise distorted, through the low quality productions. We then normalized the volume throughout the entire sermon, which is then normalized throughout the entire collection of over 1180 sermons.
We realize that working with audio files that were recorded in the 40s, 50s, and 60s will never be as good as the ones today, but we have brought them to the best quality that is possible, making sure that no part of the sermon was lost.
All of the sermons can be loaded onto a media device and/or your computer. Each year has its own album art which can be displayed during playback. You also have the option to sort the sermons by location, length, and date by ID tags (embedded information).
