We can convert reels of audio tape to WAV (for Windows), AIFF (for MAC) or MP3. Each tape side will be saved as an individual audio file. The files will be ready to play on your computer or laptop, and are ideal for storage, or for importing into your computer editing software to create your own CD's.

The digital files are supplied to you on CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, memory stick or card.

The CD will be ready to play on your CD player or computer, and will feature a single track for each side of the tape. The tracks will allow you to select a recording without having to fast forward or rewind, as you had to with the tape. Each CD can accomodate up to one hour and twenty minutes.

We use professional reel to reel players to play tapes at speeds 1 7/8ips, 3 3/4ips, 7 1/2ips and 15ips, and from 1 to 4 tracks. We constantly monitor the tape transfer as it progresses.

We often encounter individual tapes with varying recording speeds and/or track configurations, and by monitoring the transfer we can adjust these settings, and also sound levels as required. We may also pause the transfer during any very long blank sections, you are only charged for the recorded time.

We can convert domestic and studio format 1/4" open reels of audio tape. All reel sizes, playback speeds and track configurations are catered for.

Wether you choose CD or computer files, the same low price applies. For your domestic home recorded tapes we charge per recorded hour rather than per tape. Some tapes, after all, may only contain a few minutes.

The running times of each recording from your tape(s) are added together, to determine the total running time of your order. Transfer price to any one format costs only £20.00 per recorded hour.

Studio recorded tapes are priced at £25.00 per reel.

We use two and four track professional Revox and Teac reel to reel machines to transfer your 1/4" studio recorded tapes at 7 1/2ips and 15ips.

We can transfer tapes with Dolby encoding when required.

A problem we are experiencing ever increasingly with open reel studio grade tapes, particularly from the 1970's and '80s. The tapes absorb moisture and become sticky. The solution is for us to expertly dry out or 'bake' them.

We are proud to offer you our premium audio reel transfer service.

With over 35 years experience of audio tape restoration and conversion, our family business was born out of a passion for vintage film and tape formats, and the equipment that was used to create and play them.

With several decades of experience producing and editing audio tape recordings, we started copying reel to reel tapes when it was popular to have them transferred to cassette. During this time both tape formats were still being used in domestic enviroments and Hi Fi set ups. We have been copying reel to reel tapes and archiving them to more convenient and secure digital formats ever since the recordable CD was introduced

Technology has moved on in leaps and bounds over the years, and we have always invested in the latest technology to ensure our customers receive the highest quality audio transfer possible.
