The Transfer Process
Converting to Digital
When working with vinyl and 78′s the first part of the process is to clean them thoroughly.
The better the condition of the source material the better the quality of the end product.
Records and tapes are played on precision decks and your audio is converted into a very high quality digital format, in fact much higher quality than a normal CD. The file is converted down to CD quality after restoration.
Audio Restoration
It is important not to ‘over restore’ which can happen with even the most sophisticated software and hardware. This only results in the feel and character of the original material being lost and can introduce strange and unpleasant ‘digital’ noise.
When all settings have been optimized, the restoration system runs in real-time.
The recording is monitored and any noises that ‘get through’ which are above that which the system is ‘set up’ to remove (so over restoration is not applied), electronic markers are placed at these positions and are manually removed later.
The result is a clean sounding, high resolution version of the original.
Write to CD
Writing audio to CD is common place now, but only by using quality software, hardware and CDR’s can you be sure of consistent results. Not all CD hardware and software copy as precisely as they should, so error correction built into all CD equipment works harder as a result, which will affect sound quality. Our software takes your new ‘clean’ audio file, which is in a very high resolution format, converts it to CD quality and produces your CD ready for you to enjoy. If you would like your music or audio in MP3 format we can do that for you too so click on the arrow for price list and order form.
