Our price includes one 16 or 20 bit eight channel multitrack ADAT Tape transfer (ADAT Tape conversion) of any length of time to a new lossless digital file and a scanned picture of your original media.
We can supply a download link to your newly digitized ADAT (Alesis Digital Audio Tape) or you can purchase a CD-R or USB Thumb Drive from us below and we will include it in your package when we return your material. We recommend transferring to a thumb drive as the size of typical transfers usually exceed single CD capacity and are sometimes too large to transfer online. However, you are also welcome to supply your own hard drive, flash or thumb drive.
Upon receipt and inspection of your material we typically complete transfers in 1-3 business days at which time we will return your media via USPS and supply a tracking number.
If you require audio restoration, mastering or mixing of your ADAT conversion please specify at checkout and we will give you a quote upon completion of the transfer. ADAT tapes are deteriorating and certain noise problems such as digital distortion and dropouts can’t be fixed, other issues in the recordings may benefit from restoration work.
Unfortunately there is no universal solution when it comes to fixing and restoring recorded sound. Audio restoration can be simple and take 15-20 minutes or take multiple hours depending on the issues present and techniques required to perform the work.
Please be aware that websites offering a fixed price for restoration work are generally using a “one size fits all” approach and potentially doing more harm than good to the finished audio. Each time unwanted noise is removed it affects the audio, restoration should be tailored towards the individual recording and changes within the recording. A simple recording with 10 songs has 10 different songs, so the restoration work applied to one song doesn’t always apply to the other songs.
We monitor your media the entire time it’s being converted and perform real time adjustments if necessary to ensure the best quality digital transfers. We are not a “big box” digitizing service and do not outsource any of our work. All of your ADAT tapes are converted digitally in house right here in the USA. Our digitizing services are archival quality with specific attention given to the individual needs of the customer on a per project basis.
Our new and vintage transfer equipment is regularly maintained, cleaned and calibrated to provide the best sound quality for your audio transfers.
Outstanding in every way! Unbelievably quick turn around and there are even excellent clear envelopes provided to protect each record. The shipping was professionally packed and delivered with priority mail. Awesome!
Superb Storage and Service! Crisp, clear sound quality and well archived, detailed, orderly sound files!
Excellent Customer service!
I ordered a digitization of a 60-year old reel to reel audiotape. Not only did it come out perfectly, but they did it in less than a week. I chose to have this done by way of a download, rather than a disc or thumb drive, and I could not be more pleased with the result.
Well done!
