DO YOU HAVE RECORDINGS THAT NEED TO BE TRANSFERRED?

Don't pay an apathetic studio company to transfer that rare/expensive/irreplaceable disc for you! Most modern companies use dated equipment and destructive noise reduction to give you an MP3 or CD that sounds "clean" but in fact is missing most of the audio information present on your precious disc. Improper playing of certain formats (especially acetates and demos) can cause unrecoverable damage and permanent loss of fidelity. Not to mention that you want to hear that recording in as best of form as possible!

The sad fact is that today there does not appear to exist *any* commercial company which is capable of proper audiophile transfers of original discs. As many record collectors know, the rare original pressings of hard-to-find albums often sound far superior to any reissues due to the poor equipment and restoration techniques used in the digitization process. The reason for this is that the time required to properly restore original discs to proper digital fidelity is quite enormous, on the order of 1-2 hours per minute of audio. To pay an audio engineer for that amount of time would truly be an incredible price! So instead, to remain competitive, companies use "quick" (read: lossy, harmful, destructive, despicable) heuristic processes to remain competitive on the market.

I have been working in vinyl restoration for many years. I have done it for the love of music, not for the love of money. I have submitted masters to record labels and released digitizations that reveal the limitations of other labels' (and engineers') products. If you have a piece of vintage audio that you would like digitized, don't trust a company that could care less about their end product than they could about the recording itself. Please contact me I will happily and freely transfer any rare recordings for you. Alternatively, see the "FAQ" post here for my want list for albums I am willing to purchase and rip to share here for all. There is too much great unheard music out there to let it suffer at the hand of careless individuals with only a dollar in mind.

For those with such inquiries, you can contact me via email: thepoodlebites561 (at) gmail. Thanks, and enjoy the music!

First time here?
