The unfortunate problem with technology, specifically audio technology, is that it is ever changing.  Manufacturers and people in general are rarely satisfied with the creations we make.  Because we seek perfection and we function from a standpoint of constant improvement, we are constantly striving to do better.  We as people are always in competition either with ourselves or with others.  Over the last 100+ years, that determination and development has produced a slew of audio devices for recording and playback.

As time progresses, many of us have found that the devices we once previously loved have fallen into that obsolete category of dead or dying technology.  We continue to cling to much of that old technology, be it audio or video, because there are memories attached to it - memories that cannot be replaced.

You can't blame people for being sentimental in any regard, especially when - for some of us - there were so few opportunities to record events in our lives.  A single song on an outdated 8-track can have as much emotional and psychological impact as listening to a voice recording of a family member that passed away years before.  That song might remind us of our first kiss, our first car, or a long lost memory of a childhood visit to the beach.

Sound has a profound effect, and unfortunately much of the technology we rely on for old formats and old memories is no longer available for purchase or even servicing.  Eventually there will come a time where it is necessary to transfer that old analog audio to a new format that can live on with us. In fact, not all of the dated audio is analog. Obsolete or near obsolete digital formats such as DCC, DAT, MiniDisc, digital reel to reel, and micro digital audio tape exist and cannot be played without the proper digital audio decks.

Of course music carries a special place in our hearts regardless of the format but there are a lot of other audio recordings that can and should be transferred professionally:

 

Family recordings
Interviews with aged family members, especially those who have long since passed on
Stories from grandparents
Voice recordings from family members - whether silly or serious
Audio diaries and letters
Dictations
Professional recordings of speeches and conferences
Academic and professional lectures and seminars
Corporate, organizational, governmental or other types of executive meetings
Old radio broadcasts and shows
Journalism interviews

 

The above mentioned speech recordings can have sentimental, historical, cultural, legal, or financial value.  Unfortunately, many such recordings only exist on an obsolete audio format. Eventually the recordings will have to be transferred to a digital file format if they are ever to be listened to again.  If the material is extremely dated, having a professional audio transfer service handle the content now before there's further chances for deterioration can help salvage the audio.

Granted an audio transfer service isn't always a miracle worker, but aged and even degrading analog recordings can be salvaged by using digital restoration and enhancement methods. (Restoration refers to returning the audio recording back to its original sound quality. Enhancement refers to improving the sound beyond its original state.)

There's a great deal of audio data collecting dust, resting in storage facilities, forgotten corners of radio stations, back rooms of libraries and museums, home basements, closets, and grandma's attic. For the most part it goes untouched because we either don't have the technology to play back the audio, the money to have it transferred, or we have simply forgotten it is there. Do you have old audio formats sitting around with music or speech recordings such as these:

 

Mini, micro, and standard cassettes
Analog and digital reel to reel tapes
Phonograph cylinder and disc records
8 track and 4 track cartridges
Elcasets
MiniDiscs
Wire spools
Digital Audio Tapes and Digital Compact Cassettes
PlayTapes, Sound Tapes, and Dictet tapes

 

Regardless of the medium, audio transfer can breathe a little bit of new life into tired old technology, letting us relive the sounds, people and music from an earlier time.  Whether for professional purposes or personal, audio transfer is a sound investment that will ensure the long life of audio content despite the decay and disappearance of lost technology.
