about us

Greatbear analogue and digital media ltd. is a specialised and niche business that has evolved from a love of tape based audio and video recordings and a desire to restore, preserve and use this technology which is disappearing quickly in the digital revolution and information age that we work and live in.

Why use greatbear analogue & digital media?

There are a range of other businesses offering transfer and digitising services in the UK from small home based individuals to large industrial scale document transfer facilities. These tend to focus on a particular market and either don’t have the flexibility or the specialised equipment to cater for all types of transfers and customers’ needs.

We love to work with all types of recordings and all types of people and organisation and can adapt our services and costs to fit. We understand the details in the technology of audio and video recordings on tape that make apparently simple tasks into complex ones with a range of options

While perfection isn’t usually possible or always wanted, we do take pride in getting the best from tape in both the condition and preservation of the tape itself and the sourcing, restoration and usage of the best playback machines.

We like to talk and we recognise the value both personally and professionally of some recordings and are happy to offer advice and support.

Some tapes are either too heavy or deemed too valuable to send in the post or courier and we are happy to accept callers in person but please contact us before to arrange a time.
