Audio Preservation and Tape Transfers - Mystery Street Recording Company

OUR AUDIO PRESERVATION LAB

Recommended by the Library of Congress, our Audio Preservation Lab is your one-stop shop for audio archiving, converting tape to digital, and audio restoration.

The moment your materials enter our facility, they are cataloged and placed into static-free, archival storage containers, in a stable-temperature environment before they are analyzed for any physical abnormalities and repaired, if necessary, prior to being put onto a machine. Every step of the way, our engineers pay personalized attention to every tape, disc, or record, ensuring 100% error free transfers, every time.

We have been listening to the digital transfers of our audio tapes, and they sound great! It is really exciting as this is the first time this material has been heard in decades.

– M. Richardson, Library Director

Audio Archiving

Cataloging and developing a preservation plan for your audio collection is critical for large projects. We have over 15 years of experience, a passion for organization, and know exactly the data to collect to future-proof your collection. Our archiving services also include embedding metadata into your new audio files to ensure information and audio never part ways.

Format Transfers

By following peer-reviewed best practices for audio preservation, operating on only meticulously maintained audio equipment, and using pristine analog-to-digital converters, our expert audio engineers are able to convert your legacy audio formats to high-resolution modern digital files that are exact duplicates of the originals.

Audio Restoration

When you want to go beyond preservation and your transferred audio needs a professional polishing, our audio restoration services will bring new life to your old recording. Noise reduction, volume normalization, stereo image correction, and frequency equalization are just the beginning of what we can do to make your listening experience more enjoyable.

We’ve worked with one-of-a-kind recordings of Martin Luther King Jr., Johnny Cash, The Smashing Pumpkins, John Denver, Ella Jenkins, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and thousands more. Our quality and personalized attention to detail is second to none.
