What We Do
We provide professional audio transfer services to digitize, restore, and preserve sound recordings in a wide array of current and obsolete formats. Whether you have valuable master tapes, a collection of oral histories, family recordings, deteriorating, damaged or obsolete media, or even just a favorite out-of-print commercial recording that you can no longer play, we can help you.
Our work is state-of-the-art - we extract the best possible sound from your recordings. The result is "audiophile" quality sound, with as little distortion and noise as possible and close attention paid to finer nuances like equalization, imaging and sound stage - all without detracting from the feel of the original recording.
The processes and equipment that you will find in our preservation lab are identical to - and in many cases better than - what you would find at a major record label or national archive. Which is why these organizations are also our clients.
We have the experience needed to create digital preservation masters engineered to stand the test of time. We are active participants at the forefront of standards and best practices for audio preservation through our projects with the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) and the Audio Engineering Society (AES).
In addition to our transfer services, we also provide a broad range of preservation consulting services. We understand how to define a digital preservation strategy from transfer and metadata to digital storage and format migration. Whether you are planning to outsource a digitization project or build an in-house preservation lab, we can support you.
