Many people have family recordings, out-of-print records, or recordings of interest that just beg to be heard again. We can take almost any format and transfer it to the universal audio CD format for your enjoyment. Many old recordings may have been neglected and require special attention. We can help! For records all that's usually needed is a thorough hand cleaning along with a digital cleaning that uses special filters that get rid of pops. For tapes, a "baking" process that restores the magnetic material along with a digital filtering process that removes hiss, can make most of these playable again.
We can also go the distance. If your recording requires extra attention, we have the knowledge and expertise to restore some of the most difficult recordings. Using our forensic audio experience, we can meticulously eliminate pops, motor noise, hiss, speed problems, and many other problems associated with poor storage. We can't always miraculously restore a recording to studio quality, so we offer a free quote before any work begins.

We will treat your recording with the repect it deserves. No recording is just another job to us. We take pleasure in restoring a memory for your pleasure. Your recording will be handled, restored, and returned carefully.
