Transferring Audio Cassettes and Quarter Inch Tape to CD & Digital Files

Do you have audio cassettes from the 1970's? Maybe you have quarter inch audiotape on reels from the 1950's and 1960's. You may even have audio on wire reels from the 1930's & 40's. Good news! Home Video Studio's HomeMovieTransfer.com transfers all three of these audio formats to Gold Archival CDs.

All of these aged audio formats are delicate so we treat them with tender loving care. Here's the thing: most of our customers don't even know what is on their audiotape. You may have a pretty good idea - like "Grandpa talking from the battlefields of WWII" or "Mom singing a country and western song" but you may be unsure of the subject, the quality and the length of the recording. The only thing you are sure of is that these audio programs are precious. That's where we come in!

We'll take your tapes, cassettes and old wire recordings directly into our recording studio for an archival playback. Many times we have to nurse these old tapes along, but we are dedicated to you and your precious memories and we care about getting your audio programs transferred in the best way possible.

Wire Recorders and Wire Recording Transfers to CD and DVA - Digital Video Archive

Did you know that there was audio recording before audio tape? “What did they use to record on?” you might ask. The answer? Wire. Not magic wire. Not wire from another planet. Just basic wire.

The trick came in the wire capable of being magnetized in a special recorder.  If you held a microphone toward a sound source (someone talking or singing, an orchestra, a dog barking, etc.) it would detect different pressures in the sound, convert that into an electric current, and represent that sound by magnetizing areas of the wire. To play back the recording you just needed a machine capable of decoding the special magnetic representation of the original sound.

What did these machines look like?

Wire Recorder Circa 1946

As you can see, it’s not that much different than a magnetic tape recorder/player. Mostly because they operated on the same principle of a medium being coded and decoded by running over an electromagnetic device.

Are there any wire recorder/players today? Well, yes, but they are rather rare and extremely touchy! We pride ourselves on maintaining an arsenal of rare and obsolete machines to transfer your old audio formats, including wire recorders.

You may have some old wire recordings and not know what they are. Here’s normally what they look like:

The actual wire is as thinner than fishing line...

Imagine what you might hear if you got that recording decoded and transferred to a modern medium! You might even hear your- great grandfather’s voice! Or the family’s new Model-T starting up for their first ride!
