Services · Digitization
Your analog archives, preserved.
Digitizing your analog masters preserves them — physical media degrade — and makes them usable today: streaming reissues, remixes, archiving. Transfers run on a professional playback chain, calibrated for each medium.
Studer A80Supported media.
On quotedepending on medium, length and condition
1/4" magnetic tape
Studer A80 master recorder; tube Studer J37 for tapes from the 50s to the 70s, faithful to masters of that era.
DAT
Playback on a calibrated professional deck, direct digital transfer.
Every transfer starts by aligning the chain to the medium — speed and azimuth for tape, cartridge calibration for vinyl. Conversion runs through the Prism Sound ADA-8, a reference in mastering conversion. The goal: a faithful capture of what is on the medium. Default delivery as raw, unprocessed 24-bit/96 kHz WAV — other resolutions and restoration on request.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to digitize an LP?
The transfer runs in real time — the length of the record, side by side — preceded by chain calibration (cartridge, speed, level), count 15 to 30 minutes per session.
Do you offer audio restoration?
Yes, as separate post-processing: vinyl de-clicking, tape noise reduction. The raw transfer is always delivered; restoration is an option billed according to scope.
My tape is degraded — what should I do?
It needs to be inspected before any machine playback. Some tapes require specialized pre-treatment; I'll point you to the right people before the transfer if that's the case.
Do you accept other media (cassette, minidisc)?
The studio is equipped for vinyl, 1/4-inch tape and DAT. Other media can be discussed case by case — write to me before shipping anything.
