We digitize audio and provide basicrestoration & services. In addition, we provide post production services for music & video new/remix. 

Basic Service: Audio is digitized to audio into CDA or MP3 (default).  Service is limited to trimming with tracking extra. Information is written to a disc. (CD or DVD).  This service is provided at a flat rate.

Restoration Service:  Once digitized, audio can be analyzed and additional services performed. Frequently we edit audio/music by taking out unwanted sections, combining track or rearranging music location and sequence. Or, preparing the music for use in a video or iPOD.   This service is by the hour or by a quote.

Special Services accomplish your goals such as mixing an audio track or retrieving cell phone message & re-recording on a disc.  

PS  just give us the cell phone number and PIN!

Some Frequent requests are:

  1. Equalized Volume--a must for Internet download files as they may have different volume setting. 

  2. Hiss and Pops digitally removed by request. 

  3. Digitally enhance audio: remove dead space, identify and create audio clips/sound bites interest. 

  4. Compensate for poorly sounding tapes perhaps by digitally increasing the playing speed (or slowing).

  5. Change music format for MP3 players & develop iPOD format with data structure.  

  6. Music CD: arrange audio mix, enriched & mastered. 

  7. Create a "Studio Master" for duplication/replication requirements.

  8. Track audio for a play list. 

  9. Record voice mail--cell phones--answering devices on on CD.

  10. Add Voice-over and some special effects.

Vinyl Record  Basic Service includes album cleaning to cleanse surface from dirt and handling oils.  Tracking is an optional service.

Media:  16, 33, 45 and 78 RPM        Format: CDA, MP3 

FYI   Older automobile CD players may play an MP3 disc! 

Sizing:   In MP3 format, at least 25 LP albums can be placed on a CD. In CDA format, about 2/3's of one album can be placed on a CD [and we not squeeze extra audio onto  to a CD].

Default:  Unless requested, audio is saved in an CDA format.

Sound Restoration     Often, audiophiles want  hear the sounds of the stylus/needle on the vinyl groves, "Hiss and Pops", whereas others want this type of sound removed.  Removing unpleasant "noise" at the "low end" of the sound range is another option.  Our engineers can "level the sound" by turning up the threshold noise level and remove lower dB "noise" while other "noise" may remain.   Audio can also be adjusted using a digital "sound equalizer" with portions of audio kHz band.

Audio Tape Cassettes includes full size audio cassettes, duplicating cassettes (mini and micro size), 8 Track Tapes. We do minor repairs, such as splicing & tape off reel situations. Basic service is digitizing to CDA or MP3 format and trimming audio. Web pickup is available beginning 10/2008.

Audio Reel to Reel Products media service is provided for 1/4" tape with spool diameter sizes: 3", 5", 7" & 10.5"; and speeds of 1 7/8, 3¾, 7½ Inches Per Second (IPS)].  

Basic service is digitizing to CDA or MP3 format. On a case by case basis, we trim leading audio silence before audio commences.  Trimming is extra.  

Often, when we digitize a 5" & 7" & 10.5" tapes, there is more than an hour of audio.  This information is not known when we take in the job and this effects the service quote.

This is because the recording speed was "FAST" so there is more content.

There are two consequences.  Printergy is forced to decide what goes on a CD and what is placed on another. We hope you like our choices. And it takes more time to record, monitor and write additional discs. There is an additional charge for this service.

We have a "Rim Player" [plays small diameter reel to reel tapes at a variable speed].
