This service is for straight transfers to CD only. We only use high-quality tape decks to ensure the best quality transfer. All audio is recorded onto the highest grade CDs.

Audio Transfer to CD

Reel-to-Reel Audio

Reel-to-reel audio can be recorded at varying speeds. The most common speeds for consumer use were: 1⅞ IPS (Inches Per Second), 3¾ IPS, and 7½ IPS. We can also transfer studio quality or master reels to CD. These are a bit larger in size, and usually run at 15 IPS or 30 IPS.

While we can start recording at the speed which sounds most natural, if the speed changes mid-reel, some parts may sound distorted and slow, while others may sound way too fast (or the "chipmunk effect"). Please inquire about our audio restoration service to fix these speed changes.

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. 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.
