| Can't
you do it cheaper? 
I always tell customers to check that their music has
not been reissued on CD already, as this is by far the cheapest way out, then
use a specialist service like SoundAbout.net if the music is not available anywhere.
The work involved in transfering Vinyl, 78's etc to CD (to do properly) is actually
very time consuming and uses several thousands of pounds of hardware and software.
On average it takes at least twice the running time of the material to be copied
by the time, editing, some manual restoration is done, track markers, CD text,
track listings are exported to CD and inlay card, which are then both printed.
Then of course there are the material costs and packaging time. |
| How
much is postage?
This really depends on the
weight. There is a postage charges guide here |
| Is
it safe to post my records?
Yes - but do use plenty of packing i.e. bubble wrap, news paper etc then pack
your goods in a good box and seal it carefully with packaging tape. Please remember
78's are brittle, if you are sending several, pack them flat with bubble wrap
or card board in between with plenty of packing around the outside, then place
them in the box. It's always best to send your goods by registered post, special
delivery or a reliable carrier company. We've found the Post Office to be fine
though. You can find a guide as to cost on our postage
page. |
| Can
you convert to MP3 for me?
Yes we can. You may want your audio in MP3 format as
well as CD Audio. Just contact us and we will give
you a price. (It won't cost much extra) |
| How
quickly will I receive my CD?
In general, allow one
week once we have received your goods plus a couple of days to allow for the return
post. We will send your goods back by Post Office Recorded Delivery. |
| How
many tracks will I get on a CD?
A CD runs for about 80 minutes. Allow about 45 minutes for both sides of an LP,
4 minutes per side for a single and 3 minutes per side for a 78. If you have a
C90 cassette which is full the transfer will run to two CD's. |
| Will
all clicks and pops be removed?
The better the condition
of the original material, the better the end result. We work with professional
equipment which produces excellent results, but we will not 'over restore' at
the expense of spoiling or changing the character of the original material. However
- the improvement can be dramatic. |
|
Can
you just copy my music without restoration?
Yes - if you would just like a copy of your material, then we can do this. |
| Will
you carry out extra restoration work if requested?
Yes - if you would like extra restoration work carried out, please contact us
for an estimate of the cost. |
Any
other questions?
If you still have unanswered questions please e-mail
us - thank you. Do
you take goods from outside the U.K?
Sorry
- We don't take goods from outside the UK due to complicated and high Import/Customs
restrictions and charges. |
