Do you have old records or tapes that you can no longer listen to?

Why not enjoy them again by having them transferred to the convenience of CD?

Vinyl Record to CD:

• We transfer audio from any record - single, EP, LP or 78.
• We use digital processing to minimise crackles and pops.
• We insert searchable track markers, just like a commercial CD.

Successfully transferring audio from vinyl to CD is not just a matter of putting a record

on the turntable, pressing “start” and walking away. The process is in fact much more involved:

First, the disc is gently cleaned. Each side is then played on a pro quality turntable through an equalised pre-amp and into a specialised computer programme. The audio is analysed and processed to minimise any crackles and pops, then where necessary, more severe clicks are reduced by manually modifying the waveform. Next, track markers are inserted at the start of each piece of music (so that you can search for tracks) and the enhanced recording is “burnt” onto a master quality CD. Finally, a disc label is set up, printed and fitted, before the CD is checked and supplied with a jewel case.

Tape to CD:

• We transfer audio from almost any format open reel or standard cassette tape.
• We process open reel tapes from 3” to 10.5”  and up to 15 ips speed.
• We use digital processing to minimise hiss and hum where necessary.

Although cassette tapes are pretty standard in their format, open reel tapes can

be much more diverse. Apart from the vast array of reel sizes, they may have

been recorded as 2 or 4 track, mono or stereo, with up to five possible speeds.

There is also an issue with some tapes produced during the 1970’s / 1980’s where

they can become ‘sticky’, requiring a ‘baking’ process before they can be played.
