Our Transfer Process

Professional Audio Transfer Services

All audio transfers are completed in-house at our Albany, California studio—your original recordings never leave our facility. This allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality, security, and care throughout the digitization process.

Every audio transfer includes one output format of your choice at no additional cost. You may choose either:

A playable audio CD for use in standard CD players, or
A digital audio file for use on your computer or other devices.

The most commonly requested digital formats are MP3 and WAV, but we also offer AIFF, FLAC, and other digital audio formats upon request. If you'd like to learn more about the differences between these file types, see our comparison of digital audio formats.

If you would like your recordings delivered in two different output formats (for example, both a CD and MP3 files), an additional $5 per original recording will apply.

Track Options

By default, audio cassette tapes and 1/4" reel-to-reel tapes are digitized with each side of the recording exported as a single track.

If your recording contains music with clear pauses between songs, we can separate the audio into individual tracks at no additional charge. For spoken-word recordings, we can also insert track markers every five minutes to make navigation easier.

Prefer one continuous recording? We can combine Side A and Side B into a single uninterrupted digital file upon request.

“They were able to provide a truly amazing slide show for a life celebration that my whole family was thoroughly impressed by. Everyone was asking for their info as we all have memories that we need to have archived to pass on to our next generations. I couldn't recommend them any higher!”

“Sean and Andrea were great to work with. They took my old VHS cassette tapes, digitized them, and uploaded the mp4 video files to a secure server. Communication was excellent, price was fair and I'll certainly be back again. Thanks!”

— Robyn H. Oakland, CA

“They transferred 8mm film and a few old prints to digital video format and jpeg format. Unlike many similar online services, this business does all transfer work in house. So there's less risk of your precious family analog memories getting lost in transit.”
