Audio-Visual Collections | Expert Digitisation of Audio Tapes in Oxford UK

Audio Cassette Tape Transfers to WAV in Oxfordshire UK

Audio Visual Collections | Working with Archives, Museums and TV/Film Producers and Broadcasters.  

Our studio support clients from 1 audio tape to large archives that require ingestion, using professional machinery from Tascam, Sony and Revox to provide exceptionally high-quality audio outputs which adhere to the IASA guidelines

We offer output formats to Waveform Audio File Format (WAV, WAVE, Broadcast BWF) AIFF, MP3 or CD in formats 16-bit 44.1 kHz (CD) upto 24-bit 192 kHz

Our professional audio department is built around a Pro-Tools/Izotope injestion suite, that is set up to guarantee precise conversions and beautifully restored sounds. The final completion of your project will be provided on a USB, hard-drive, or on-line delivery service.

Magnetic tape has an estimated lifespan of between 10-20 years. No matter the brand, every tape will eventually deteriorate. Even if a tape is beginning to deteriorate (feeling sticky) there is a good chance we can save it through repair work and baking.

Clients include Langham Archivehttps://www.allsouls.org/ and Walter Hayes Archive https://walterhayes.co.uk/acknowledgments/
