Digital/Analog - Analog/Digital Transfers

We offer a unique but, not unheard of service we call our DAD Treatment or, Digital/Analog/Digital service. This method is used to impart the sometimes subtle, to the completely saturated sound of true analog tape to your mixes or tracks.

​

We send your digital tracks out through our Antelope D/A converters and record them to our 2 track Otari tape machine using MDS-36 analog 1/4" tape. Then send the tape recorded tracks back through our pair of selected preamps, for a little gain and flavor to taste. From there the tracks are sent directly back through our Antelope A/D converters and saved as wav.files.

 

Not only can this be done to the stereo track but, it can be done to each individual track in a mix. Sometimes using this method on specific tracks is all the song might need. Having the ability to use tape as an effect as well as a critical tool in music production is just one of the things that sets us apart from other studios in this area. 

 

In the same vein as D/A/D, we also offer A/D/ or D/A services. We can transfer cassettes to digital or vis verse. We even have a DAT machine to transfer any old multi track DAT projects that you might have lying around.
