How It's Done
- Tapes are first inventoried and then added to our database and your record. Each tape is visually inspected to make sure there are no physical problems.
- A short segment is played to check play back level. Once that is set, the transfer to digital will begin. Upon completion, the tracks will be normalized (brought up to commercial volume level).
- Filters are applied to reduce the noise and tape hiss.
- Equalization is done (tone) if needed.
- Left / Right Channel Balancing is done if needed.
- Next, the transfer will be indexed so you can jump from one song to another on your CD player. This applies to tapes where there is an obvious break between songs or sections. Tapes that are continuous, such as a speech or a live concert, will have indexes placed every
5 minutes by request.
- Then we slow burn the tracks to CD or copy to a Flash Drive or Hard Drive, in the format you requested. We use a slow burn with CDs so that there is no skipping of tracks that can occur when burned at high speed.
- The resulting CD is then labeled and placed in an Un-breakable Jewel Case.
- Last of all, your tapes and new CD's are boxed up, ready to be shipped back to you. That's it!
