Audio Transfer
Audio to CD Transfer Process
Keep in mind that audio CDs can hold up to 74 minutes of recording time. For 90 minutes audio cassettes to CD, we will have to break up the tape onto two CDs in order to process the order. Typically, after the audio transfer, we would put side A of the cassette on one disc, and then side B of the cassette onto the other disc. We can combine or mix your audio in any fashion you choose.
Track Splitting
Basic Audio Editing
- Speed up or slow down your audio. Older audio was often capable of being recorded at different speeds. If you have audio that plays either too fast, or too slow, we can fix this by digitally adjusting the playback speed to the perfect level. This problem is especially common among old vinyl records and reel to reel audio.
- Remove unwanted sound from recordings – If you had ever wanted to clean up your audio by removing randomly placed blips of static or noise, we can remove any unwanted noises or whole chunks of audio, if desired.
- Custom-placed track splitting – We can strategically place track splits anywhere in your recording!
- Remove static hums and hiss from your audio – We can greatly diminish the presence of a static humming or hiss sound that persists throughout your recording. Depending on the quality of the original cassette, we can produce some amazing results.
- Pop/Click removal – Older audio generally exhibits some form of degradation such as clicking and popping. This is mostly caused by dust and dirt that has clung onto your audio over the years.
