Audio Transfer Services

Innovative Audio is proud to add another great service for our valued clientele. We are now FULLY equipped to transfer audio from virtually any known type to CD or MP3 files. We can even record to DVD Audio! Bold statement, but true. There are many types of audio formats over the years but finding all the equipment to do this right while offering the BEST sounding transfers took some time and doing.

Needless to say, we have succeeded. We can now transfer audio from sources such as:

- Turntables
- 8-Tracks
- Cassettes
- Elcasets
- Minidisc
- Reel to reel
- DCC Tapes
- DAT Tapes
- High 8 audio Tapes.

Ok, so what really is the difference between having us do transfers when you can buy a USB Turntable for $100.00? Well, QUALITY! USB tables are simple, plastic based toys designed to do the very basic of getting noise from your record to your computer. Plastic base, plastic Tonearm and a plastic platter simply cannot do your music justice. This is not even including the cheapest PLASTIC stylus money can buy.

You want to preserve your music, not butcher it.

Our equipment is top notch, and every aspect of any transfer is handled with care and precision to insure that each is the very best. Our turntable base alone is a 250 lb slab of solid marble, 2' x 3', and 3" thick to prevent any resonance that may be present.

Impressed? So are we. However having all this gear is only good if you can use it and since sound engineering is where we started from this was a perfect match. There are a multitude of business's and companies offering these types of services but this is where we peel away from that pack…

In addition to offering straight transfers we can also offer our clients something a bit different. We can take a standard two channel record recording and give you back a full 5.1 DTS encoded copy! Not only that, but we can take that same recording and copy it into quadraphonic, 2.1 DTS or virtually any other format! How cool is that! Using state of the art equipment and software we can take a standard 2 track audio recording and produce a sweet sounding 5.1 audio playback.

Now that is just too cool, and only at Innovative Audio.
