Professional Wet/Dry Cleaning - Highly recommended!
Fine particles of dirt trapped deep within the record grooves are one of the worst enemies of vinyl and alternative recording materials. Foreign deposits such as grease from fingerprints, smoke, stains, mildew and dust can seriously detract from the sound quality and your enjoyment. It can also cause unnecessary wear and tear on both your records and your equipment. That's why we offer a safe, industry standard, professional deep cleaning service. Only air and professional cleaning fluid ever comes into contact with the surface of your record during the cleaning process. No abrasive materials ever touch your records and the label is fully protected at all times during the process. Cleaned records will not only look good, but will actually attract less dirt in the future, and sound good too. This service is available on it's own for those customers wishing to prolong the life and quality of their record collections, or as a preconditioning prior to transfer to CD, which we would recommend in ALL cases.

Transfer / Conversion
Once cleaned, your record is ready for conversion & transfer. Using professional quality sound processing equipment, the record is converted from its analogue format into digital format ready for processing. The primary aim at this stage is to capture as much of the original sound quality from your record as is physically and technically possible.

Compilation or Track Separation
As a basic service, your record is recorded as two separate files. One file for each side of your record. These two files can then be processed for noise reduction or audio enhancement if required, (see below) and finally transferred to CD. Continuous tracks like these are perfect if you simply want to listen to your audio track as you would the original recording. However, most people are used to selecting tracks from their CD's. This is why we offer Track Separation for those who request it. Each track is separately recorded so you can skip, rearrange or play your tracks as you please.

Noise Reduction
Even with careful cleaning, your record will almost certainly contain unwanted noise - even new records contain unwanted clicks & pops. The degree of noise depends very much on the condition of the record and previous use. However, using digital technology it is possible to seamlessly remove 99% of these annoyances and leave you with a pure audio track! This service is not mandatory, but it is advisable unless your records are in mint condition.

CD Creation
Once the above processes are complete, the tracks are ready to be 'burned' onto our great looking 'Classic Record' CD using the latest technology (If track details are requested, normal Audio grade printable CD's are used).

Information
All of the track information from the album and cover can be incorporated onto the CD or Cover if desired.
