Tape Machines & Recording Formats

All of our Analog Multitrack and Two Track machines in both rooms are Studers. For audio performance, tape handling, reliability and ease of use no manufacturer has a better reputation. Our Studer A 820 24 Track machines have a "parameter pad" feature that allow us to store your individual alignment data for quick, accurate retrieval on later sessions. All of our machines are cleaned, demagnetized and aligned every day, for every session. We don't blindly align to just any tones, either. We always check outside tones against our house alignment before we use them. If there are any serious discrepancies, we'll bring them to your attention before going further.

"Sticky-Shed" Transfers

The tape manufacturers recommend "baking" the tape to solve this problem. We have found a way to use the special features of our Studer machines to allow us to make successful transfers from these damaged tapes, without baking them. When this is unsuccessful, we can provide the baking service as well. Even if another studio has deemed your tape unplayable, give us a call.
