Audio Transfer

Audio to CD Transfer Process

Prior to the audio to CD transfer, your media will be inspected by our audio transfer technician to check for any inconsistancies or damage to the tape or audio cassette. If we notice something that would prevent the transfer of your tape to CD, we will give you a call to let you know the source of the problem, and if it’s repairable. Once the audio to CD order is completed, we store your files to our in-house computers, the audio is run through audio editing software which allows the audio transfer technician to determine the sound quality of the audio to CD transfer. If needed, we offer basic audio cleanup services to remove recording errors or other problems which are common in older analog recordings. Once the recording is determined to be of optimum quality, it will then be burned to a 100-year archival audio CD and then labeled to your specifications.

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

When you bring audio in for transferring, you have the option to set up what’s called “track splits”. Track splitting will enable you to skip from one track to another while playing the CD in your CD Player. This is especially useful for recorded music, as you can switch songs easier than ever before.

Basic Audio Editing

With our basic audio editing services, we can help fix up the minor problems that may be present in your recordings. Our audio transfer technicians are trained on a wide variety of methods to remedy audio issues.

  • 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.

Audio Restoration

Do your recordings have some audio issues? Our audio restoration service can help to revitalize your old recordings. Our audio restoration technicians are heavily experienced with handling a wide array of older audio recordings with a variety of symptoms. Although often a complicated process, we can usually greatly diminish many common problems associated with older analog media. Please speak to your local audio technician if you have any questions.

Transferring to MP3

While CDs are the most convenient format for most customers, we can transfer your audio into just about any file format you can think of. You can specify bit rate, number of channels as well as hertz for your custom MP3 or WAV file. The default MP3 settings are 320 kilobits per second at 44,100 hertz. If you are bringing in your own flash/hard drive with data on it to store these files, there is a $15 setup fee. There is no fee if your drive does not have data on it or if we’ve provided the drive for you.
