Pricing


Custom Pricing for Audio Materials and Recording Services

Every collection is different. Pricing reflects the format, condition, and care required to preserve your recordings while making them accessible for future use.

Here’s an overview:

  1. Audio Production Services
    Our rates for audio production vary depending on several factors, including the length of the session, the equipment required, and the level of engineering expertise needed. Whether you’re recording a podcast, voiceover, or a full-scale audio project, we ensure that you receive high-quality, professional-grade audio that meets your exact needs.
  2. Audio Restoration and Editing
    For restoration services, pricing is based on the condition of the audio and the extent of restoration required. Using cutting-edge AI-powered tools, we can remove background noise, clicks, and pops, and restore clarity to damaged recordings. The more complex the restoration, the more specialized tools we may use, which will impact the final cost. No matter the project, we work with you to ensure your restored audio is as clean and vibrant as possible.
  3. Digitization of Analog Materials
    The cost of digitizing analog materials is determined by the quantity and type of media (e.g., cassette tapes, reel-to-reel, VHS tapes) as well as any post-processing required to enhance the digital files. Every project includes careful handling of your original materials, ensuring they are returned safely, along with your new digital files in the format of your choice.
