How Our Audio Transfer Service Works

We offer nationwide audio transfer services where our clients can safely and securely ship their media (whether large or small orders) to our audio transfer lab. Once we receive your media, we use specialized software and equipment to digitize your audio.

Once your audio recording has been digitized, we're able to transfer your recording to almost any media – we can even go backward and transfer recordings to an older medium (like cassette tapes or other analog formats).

You will even have the option to download audio files directly from our site, or if you prefer, we'll transfer the recording to a CD or other format of your choice.

When requested we can transfer your recording to an Archival Gold® CD. These CDs have a longer life expectancy due to the gold layer, a vastly improved dye not used for regular CD-Rs, and a scratch-resistant coating also not found on regular CDs.

Audio Formats We Can Transfer:
  • DAT
  • DCC
  • MiniDiscs
  • Digital Audio Files
We can also extract audio from many analog and digital video formats. However, we do not offer video transfer services.

Tape Screening

If you have old tapes and aren’t sure what’s on them, use our tape screening service. We will listen for 5 or 10 seconds every 5 to 10 minutes of the recording. We will then let you know what we found so you can make a decision whether to transfer the audio or not.

Dealing with Difficult Formats for Audio Transfer

Some consumer-level equipment aren't exactly user-friendly when it comes to recovering, transferring or backing up your audio. We use specialized equipment in these cases to help with the audio conversion process.

convert cassette to CD Micro and Mini Cassettes – These pose a challenge regarding audio quality because the devices only have a headset output which reduces sound quality when you try audio conversion on your own. We have specially modified mini and microcassette tape machines with phono sockets for higher-quality lines out. This allows us to recover and transfer audio from these formats without loss in sound quality.

Analog and Digital Answering Devices – Whether you have an answering machine or voicemail system, we have equipment that makes it easy for us to transfer your messages to a Compact Disc or digital file such as MP3.

Digital Recorders – Some digital recording devices offer playback only without removable media or a way to download your recordings to a computer. If you ship us your recorder, we can transfer it to a CD or other format.

Damaged Tape – Occasionally there's damage to a tape that software cannot repair. We can fix your broken cassette tapes and we also utilize various methods such as tape cleaning and baking to enable us to convert your recordings to a new format.

For any of the above difficult situations, we offer audio transfer and conversion services that move the recorded audio to a digital audio file or a physical format such as a CD.

Going Beyond Audio Conversion Services

We don't just offer a simple audio transfer service. Textphonic Communications Inc. utilizes cutting-edge technology, equipment, and software to support our forensic audio enhancement services. Because we’re experts with audio forensics and enhancement, the audio recordings you submit for transfer can also be restored or enhanced to improve the sound quality.
