Thinking about transferring your audio reel to reel? We can transfer to CD and/or DVA - the Digital Video Archive Cloud. We specialize in this service and are glad you’ve chosen to investigate getting this done professionally for a few reasons: First of all durable professional media is important and we use only Gold Archival CDs, which are scratch proof and rated to last 100 years. Second, transferring old audio reel to reels can be a bit tricky. There is no way to know want is on the tapes without listening to them or transferring them, and most people lack the technology and/or the expertise to even play them back!
It’s our business to transfer old audio to a format you can use and that is archival in quality. We’ve found that many of these old audio tapes are gems! Imagine hearing your mother sing, or your parents exchanging “talking letters.” Maybe your tapes contain family gatherings or other types of personal programs.
The pricing is as follows: We charge $79.95 for a regular straight transfer per Audio CD that is filled up by your audio content. Even one of the small three inch reels can hold several hours of audio so we will not know how many CDs that your audio will need, thus we probably won’t know the exact cost of your audio transfer project until after we have finished it. The exception to this is if you know the length of your reel or reels. So for a regular transfer to CD we charge $79.95 per filled-up CD.
Now you may want to consider a “sweetened” or “enhanced” transfer. We highly suggest this. Most people want the highest fidelity and quality they can get in order to really hear the audio clearly, but one of the realities of audio reel to reel transfer is that the audio was recorded with technology from the 1950’s and ’60’s. The price for this is $125.00 per filled-up CD. Most people love the results of this enhancement and feel it was worth the investment.
One last thing. We can also transfer your audio program to DVA - the Digital Video Archive Cloud –where you can access it with your personal account at www.DigitalVideoArchive.com. Once it’s an audio DVA you can instantly share it with anyone on the planet. Many of our customers opt for this, and many get both Archival CDs and DVAs. For transfer to DVA please add $19.95 for every 72 minutes of audio.
We do offer free pick-up and delivery service or you may bring your tapes to us. We are open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays 10 to 2 pm.
