This is a straight transfer of a recording to CD. No noise or pops are removed. This is for those who want to enjoy a recording but do not want any electrical intervention in their music and for those who want an archival copy of their music.
Rate:
$9.99 plus $.25/minute of music or fraction of a minute, plus shipping/handling*
There is a maximum rate of $19.99 per full CD worth of music.
Includes: the CD, with up to 80 minutes of music, jewel case, or heavy plastic sleeve if preferred, and basic black and white text artwork with artist and title information
Transfer to CD with Standard Restoration:
The music will be cleaned and loaded into a computer. Then, special software will be used to gently remove the majority of noise, pops and clicks while preserving as much of the original recording as possible.
Typically, this process produces CD quality results for NM and VG+ recordings. Depending on the source, there may still be some occasional noise, pops and other disturbances. For VG and G recordings, this will remove a significant portion of noise and pops. However, noise and pops will likely remain, but the music will be enjoyable.
