What We Do

What we do

We transfer your vinyl LP records to CDs and/or high resolution music DVDs. Our DVDs are compatible with DVD-video players, so please specify PAL or NTSC when ordering. Our services include professionally cleaning the LP and replacing inner sleeve(s) with high quality, anti-static sleeves. We use a vintage, high quality turntable, high quality cartridge and stylus. All of our transfers utilize at minimum 24-bit / 96 KHz resolution. We then edit for track breaks and pop/click removal. When making 16-bit CDs we use an industry standard dithering process to minimize digital artifacts. Our editing tools and techniques are so good that no matter how we rate the LP, you can rest assured that the CD or DVD transfer is going to sound amazing.

Samples

Samples

Listen to samples of a track from The Ventures' album "Surfing." The LP was in pretty sketchy condition, so it makes a great demonstration of how our editing tools work. Keep in mind, however, that to make these available via streaming web content, they have been heavily compressed. The original DVD & CD tracks sound much better. Don't forget to check our audiophile LP to CD transfer catalog.

Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe:
"Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (1989)"

by Bret Adams [allmusic.com]

Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe is better known as four-fifths of Fragile-era Yes. Jon Anderson left the Trevor Rabin version of Yes and joined his old mates for the Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe album in 1989. In the Big Dream: A Video Compilation features three music videos and a live version of the Fragile classic "Heart of the Sunrise" recorded September 9, 1989, at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA. The most interesting part of this video is the behind the scenes and interview footage of ABWH at work and at play in both London and Montserrat. "Brother of Mine" is the best song on the album, but the video is marred by the silly outdoor sequences featuring dancers painted up like a bizarre cross between Native Americans and Kiss. The performance footage features quick edits in which the painted faces of the dancers dissolve into the similarly painted faces of ABWH. (Yikes!) It should be noted that "Brother of Mine" was co-directed by renowned album cover artists Storm Thorgerson (known for his Pink Floyd sleeves) and Roger Dean (known for his sci-fi landscapes gracing Yes and ABWH albums). "Order of the Universe" and "Quartet (I'm Alive)" are the other two standard videos. ABWH required a few backing musicians on their album and tour, in particular a skilled bass guitarist to play Chris Squire's parts on the old stuff; King Crimson and Peter Gabriel veteran Tony Levin played on the album and much of the tour, but Jeff Berlin mans the bass guitar on "Heart of the Sunrise."

Chet Atkins:
"Chet Atkins In Hollywood (1959)"

by Richard S. Ginell [allmusic.com]

If the cover of At Home evokes the 1950s, the music on In Hollywood IS the 1950s: a warm, cozy, sophisticated album of mood music in the best sense. Yet this is not an album of film music (though a handful of film themes turn up). Rather, it is exactly what the title indicates: Chet Atkins recording an album in a Hollywood studio, as opposed to the familiar haunts of Nashville. Here, he places his often affectingly lovely guitar licks in front of full, lush, sometimes inspired string arrangements by Dennis Farnon. Sometimes, Atkins appears all by himself, caressing "Estrellita" before the strings kick in, and his fingerpicking technique appears on a piquant treatment of "Armen's Theme" (originally a pre-Chipmunks hit for Ross Bagdasarian aka David Seville). Farnon is particularly good when he hooks onto a lush string motif and repeats it seductively on the "Theme From Picnic" or follows Atkins's guitar in a broad, surpassingly lovely treatment of Fats Waller's "Jitterbug Waltz" -- the two most gorgeous tracks on the record. For some, this record might fall under the category of guilty pleasures, but a pleasure it is, one of the great make-out records of its time. Mobile Fidelity re-circulated it all too briefly in the 1990s as part of a two-CD set.
