3. Transfer Type

Archival transfer involves bringing the original recording to its best possible playability - usually through a physical treatment process and may involve more laborious customized setup and calibration efforts for tapes that exhibit “unusual” reproduction characteristics- then transferring to new media "as is," without enhancement.

Duplication transfer involves reproduction without physical treatment and a standard setup or calibration for reproduction.

Sonic restoration however, involves an additional stage, whereby the signal is processed to remove extraneous noise and improve upon the quality of the original.

Physical Restoration repair or recovery efforts from degradation or damage.

5. Destination Formats

Please indicate the number of copies of each original that you would like, and fill out the following information where applicable. Do not accommodate the number or reels a long source may require (ex. A 3 hour source consuming 3 destination CDs). We will take this under consideration.

Marker Specs: This refers to Tracks on CDs. Track marker specifications on CD's may be "5 min. track markers" or "new track marker at music/speaker change", etc & The addition of track marker specifications directly effects the complexity of the workflow and therefore will effect the overall price.
