33⅓
RPM LP
|
The 12 inch long play 33⅓ rpm microgroove record was introduced by Columbia Records in 1948. This record was made of a flexible vinyl material - and thus is also known as 12 inch vinyl. The surface noise was much lower than a typical 78 record. The LP was capable of holding approximately twenty minutes of music per side.

78 RPM (60 - 90RPM)
|
The 78 record became common around the late 1890s. It was made of a variety of different materials - and played at different speeds until the mid 1920s. Common speeds were 74 to 82 rpm until 1925. The standard became 78.26 rpm and stayed that way until the 1960s, when most record companies stopped producing the format. Shellac 78s were most popular until the 1950s. The 78 record was fragile and known for it's loud surface noise. The original 78s were seven inches in diameter, but were soon changed to ten and later twelve inches. |

Cassette, stereo Transfer to CD options:
|
Originally designed as a format for dictation machines, improvements in fidelity brought cassettes into the hi-fi market. Although not as "hi-fi" as vinyl LP's or open reel machines, the convenience of portable playback soon took over as the main reason cassettes became so abundant. The cassette was introduced by Phillips in the early 1960's. It was not until the introduction of Dolby noise reduction - that cassettes were taken seriously as a hi-fi medium. The cassette reached the height of its popularity with the introduction of the portable Sony Walkman player in the 1980's. |

8-track cartridge
|
Invented in the early 1960's, the 8-track cartridge became popular when the Ford Motor Company decided to offer this format in it's vehicles. This format was "the only game in town" for automobiles until the cassette came along a few years later. The 8-track was very unreliable and had major problems with tapes getting eaten and the fact that you could not rewind the tape. This format lasted into the late 1980's |

Open Reel ¼ in. mono, stereo ¼ track 7½, 15 ips
|
Also known as Reel to Reel, this magnetic tape format originated in Germany in the early 1930's. The commercial version of this format was born in the US in the 1940's. The main advantages of open reel machines were the fidelity and the ability to edit. both of these were lacking in previously used formats. Open reel recorders quickly became the choice of discriminating musicians and technicians. Open reel advanced the art of stereo and multi-track recording - and is still a favorite of many to this very day. The open reel format lost its commercial popularity in the late 1980's to the new advancements made by digital recorders. The open reel format was used in many configurations, including: 1/4 in. mono 1/4 in. two track stereo 1/4 in. 1/4 track stereo 1/4 in. four track discrete We offer transfer options to CD as wave files or a discrete dump to wave files or transfers to Pro Tools LE or Cubase SE or Sound Forge. This transfer makes these tracks available for further/ future options. |

|
This is a semi-professional and/or professional format. This format has all the advantages stated in the open reel ¼ in. format - along with the ability to record many more discrete tracks.

DAT
|
Introduced by Sony in the mid 1980's, DAT has been a very popular format to provide a digital recording of audio without any compression or other losses introduced by some digital formats. The DAT format replaced many professional analogue two track recorders and provided a very cost effective format for mastering. With the continual price drop of recordable CD format, the DAT never became the standard that many had hoped for. Recordable CD's have replaced the DAT mainly due to the cost factor. The DAT format is still popular in many film circles. Over 148 minutes |

VHS
|
Introduced by JVC in the mid 1970's, this video recording medium has also been used for it's excellent audio recording capability. When hi-fi VCR's emerged in the 1980's their manufacturers added high quality stereo audio tracks with a frequency response of 20-20,000 hz and a signal to noise ratio of 70 db. This capability has provided semi-pro recordists with an effective and inexpensive method to produce master tapes. Today this has been replaced by hard disc and other recording formats. We will provide an audio transfer of the material on the VHS tape. Over 148 minutes |

Betamax
|
The Betamax format was designed and introduced by Sony in the mid 1970's. It actually came out before the VHS format and had good success for a few years. It was considered a much better format than VHS both in Video and audio capabilities, but VHS became more popular because of the tape length and recording time available. Many professional audio recording studios used the Betamax system as a mastering recorder along with Sony's own PCM technology. This system was popular till around the end of the 1980's. We will provide an audio transfer of the material on the Betamax tape. Over 148 minutes |
