So many of us have been dragging around old LP's and cassettes for years. Your turntable no longer works and neither does your cassette player. However, these old cassettes and LPs have many great memories attached to them. There's some great songs you'd love to play in your car or on your IPod. What can you do?
Easy, convert all those old LPs and cassettes to CD. I offer a great service that can do just that. I'm located at http://www.transfer-2cd.com/ or http://www.audio-restorations.com/ or http://www.convert-cassette-to-cd.com/. I've got the best prices on the net and the service is great. There's a discount for large quantities. The front and back covers of the LP's are scanned and used for the inserts in the jewel cases. I also do noise filtering that can drastically reduce the scratches and pops and clicks so your new CD's can sound like you just bought them at the store.
I also offer free return shipping on large orders orders. Check it out. It's fast, easy and not that expensive. Just think, you can now play all those old favorites in your car. They can even convert them to MP3 so you can put them on your IPod.
Do the cassettes have to be music? No not at all. I've done many "audio books" in the past. I've also done recordings that were made by family members about their family history. I've done tape recordings of old band tapes, I've done surveillance tapes, depositions, MD dictations. I've converted many cassette tapes that were recorded by soldiers during the Vietnam war while in Vietnam and then sent back home like an audio letter. I've also converted many of the old records that were recorded during World War II, that just like the cassette tapes were sent home as audio letters. These are records that were "cut" in a tent somewhere and then mailed home. Most of these recording "booths" were setup and sponsored by either Pepsi Cola or Coke-a-Cola.
I've also converted cassettes that were used as archives for specific "American Indian Songs and Chants". I've done 3 different tribes to this date. Very interesting stuff. Some of these old recordings were actually recordings of old wax cylinders being played back. These wax cylinders were from around the turn of the century. Amazing!!!
Can you do 78's or reel to reel recordings? Yes http://audio-restorations.com/ can handle both of those. I can even transfer old wire recordings from the 1940's and 50's. Wire recordings preceded the "tape" recorder. These old wire recorders actually used a spool of stainless steel wire to record on instead of tape. To splice one of these wire recordings, you actually tied the wire in a knot. The recorders came with an instruction manual with complete instructions on how to tie the correct knot. I have an old wire recorder that I have restored and setup so that I can plug it right into a computer and transfer all the audio from the wire to an audio file and then to CD. It's really amazing how good some of these old recordings sound considering the technology and age of the recordings.
What about 45's? Yes I can do those as well. Again, if you have a lot of them, I offer discounts. Generally, what most clients do with 45's is have me put as many that will fit on a single CD. So if you have a couple hundred 45's, I can reduce this to just a few CD's. I put a 2 second pause in between each recording so it plays much like an LP would but is actually a collection of your 45's.
