audio and video transfers
what we offer
Do you have old records, tapes, or videos you cannot play anymore or would like to preserve and transfer to a modern digital format such as CD or DVD?
We can transfer a wide range of old analogue formats to digital using some of the best of yesterday’s and today’s technology. All transfer machines are carefully chosen and maintained to offer the best quality at reasonable prices. The Focusrite analogue to digital conversion hardware we use is excellent sounding and offers a range of sample rates up to 24-Bit / 96 Khz for the highest quality transfers.
We do not use the cheap USB record or tape machines you can buy in certain large electrical dealers or through offers in the newspapers!
While these machines may work their quality is poor compared to our machines. If you have recordings that are important to you it’s worth getting the best from them by using our services. Have a look at our options and prices to suit your needs.
We can transfer the following audio and video formats:
- 78 rpm mono records
- 45 rpm 7 inch or 12 inch LP
- 33 rpm records
- cassette tapes

about this.
Options and Pricing
We base our services on sound technical understanding of recording, a love of music and old machines and a clear pricing structure. Yet we also recognise there are a wide range of possibilities in the transfer of older audio and video formats.
We can create beautifully colour printed and designed CD or DVD’s and inlay cards if necessary but this takes, quite often, a lot of time and we like to focus on the best audio quality in our transfers. Our basic prices for audio and video transfer therefore do not include printing on the surface of the CD or DVD but do include basic black and white printed inlay cards with the transfer information and any other information of your choice. You could also reduce the costs even more by specifying no printing and basic plain recycled card sleeves.
There is a wide range of older audio and video recording media, some very common and popular, some quite rare and specialised. Subsequently there are many possible options in the transfer and conversion of these to digital formats. In my recent prices, linked below, I’ve listed what I think are the most common and likely requirements but I’m happy to quote for other types of transfer or conversion.
