Digitising audio formats for the future to disc or hard drive
Jan 14, 2015 at 08:56PM While photographs and videos are important memories to keep for the future, there's also a vast number of important audio recordings on various formats to be saved.
ProCopy digitises and enhances audio from old formats such as 78 inch records including World War 2 message discs, Vinyl LPs, singles and acetates.
We can also transfer a variety of Reel to Reel tapes including 1/4inch, Half track, 1/4 Track, stereo or mono and audio cassettes.
We'll assess your recordings and advise on the best way to proceed with digitising your collection of audio recordings. We usually recommend digitising to the highest quality possible (CD Audio standard or the equivalent Wav file format) and then providing "down converted" audio as Mp3 or similar for your personal devices or sharing via email or storing in "the cloud". Files can also be transferred to USB flash drives so that you can play them in modern car media players.
Note: many companies and a lot of home based equipment produce direct conversions to Mp3 or other compressed audio formats and you will lose the quality of your original recordings. It takes longer to do the job properly but it does produce the best results.
We are happy to receive records and tapes via post to our PO Box but highly recommend that you send via a trackable service such as Express Post and make sure that the audio tapes, records or reels are securely packaged to prevent possible damage in transit.
