Why should I digitize my audio and video?

CDs and DVDs last, analog audio and video (cassettes, reels, etc.) deteriorate. Find the CD track you want fast without rewinding.

Storing recorded media is easier with digital files: copy your newly digitized files from cds to your computer or get them directly in the format of your choice.

Can't I convert these recordings myself?

There are people who digitize their own recordings with run-of-the-mill equipment and little undertanding of the digitizing process. Of course, this route yields mediocre results at best. Digitize-It! uses professional decks and high-end digital-audio gear that bypasses the soundcard in a common computer. We are set up for digitizing audio and it shows in the quality of our product. So if you have unique recordings or your recordings contain sensitive information, the Audio Archive Specialists are an invaluable resource!

Do the CDs/DVDs come out as good as the originals?

This more than adequately maintains the integrity of the source media so that your cds/dvds sound/ look as good as the originals. Keep in mind, the quality of the final product depends largely on the condition of the original.Noise reduction, advanced restoration, and mastering of your recordings are also available.

How long does it take to digitize my recordings?

The turnaround time depends upon the size of the order, the number of orders in cue, and if rush return service is selected. Most orders are returned within two weeks. An order may be expedited for an additional fee.
