- Creating your playable CD or MP3s. Using professional editing software, we:

about file formats and media options.

Additional Options
With our audio experience and custom process, the sky's the limit in creating the digital recordings you envision. We can organize, edit or enhance your collection of audio recordings, and offer several options that make it easy to enjoy your audio CD or DVD.
Organize - Are all the tracks you want to hear on different source recordings? Don't know what's on your original media?
• Rough-Cut CD - Listen to your unknown recordings on a rough-cut CD before we create your final recording. No charge to reorder or delete tracks for the final cut. First hour $29.95, Additional hours $9.95/hour
• Combining and Reordering Tracks - Your original recordings (as entire sides, reels or cartridges) can be easily combined in the order you designate onto one CD or DVD to fill the media (up to 80 minutes of .wav files will fit on a CD). For an additional editing cost, selections from within your original recordings can also be individually captured, and combined or rearranged in a different order, on your final CD or DVD. $90.00/hour
Edit - Would you like your original audio file broken into individual tracks, or sections of your original deleted?
Most editing is billed at $90.00/hour. Call for an estimate to:
- Separate tracks within home recordings and/or recordings with poor sound quality
- Remove sections from your original
Enhance - Our audio technicians can make dramatic improvements to original sound quality and restore damaged or degraded audio, transforming garbled hiss into the sounds of Grandpa's storytelling and children singing.
Cleaning records well, using top-of-the-line audio hardware and software, and keeping our equipment clean and well-maintained, enables us to create the best digital reproduction of your original recordings possible. But in the case of scratches & grooves, degraded tape, or poor original sound quality, it's often necessary to enhance the sound quality digitally. Let us know if you'd like copies of both the edited and unedited versions.
Most audio enhancement and sound cleaning is billed at $90.00/hour. Call for an estimate to:
- Remove pronounced "snap, crackle & pop" or hiss from your recordings
- Reduce sound damage from extensive play & scratches and/or other unwanted noise specific to your recording.
- Normalize unusually high or low volume
Other options to enhance your disc include:
- Cover Artwork - add an exact replica of original cover artwork to the case cover. $19.95/side
- Disc Face Artwork - want the cover art printed on the disc? We can add it. $9.95
- Track Listing on Disc Face - add track listings to the disc face. $9.95/12 tracks
Share - Now that your precious home recordings are digital, let everybody listen!
