Early in the 1990’s a California company named Alesis forever changed the paradigm of the recording industry. How? With introduction of ADAT – an eight track MDM (Modular Digital Multitrack) recording system, capable of synchronized sample-accurate lock-up of up to sixteen 8-track machines for a total of up to 128 simultaneous tracks of digital audio.
Although that technology and the quality of the recordings they captured has long since been surpassed, there are still untold thousands of recording projects archived on ADAT tapes.
If you have one of these hidden gems on ADAT tapes, have us digitally transfer them into a current format. This is a direct digital transfer, completely bypassing the ADAT’s obsolete D/A converters! No Digital to Analog or Analog to Digital conversion. With virtually unlimited track counts…
If you like we can even mix your songs from these multi-track masters. There are of course additional charges for mixing.
We have an in-house legacy 16 Bit ADAT MDM recording system, providing clients the ability to digitally transfer the data archived on these outdated format S-VHS ADAT tapes . The conversion is done via ADAT Light Pipe- to insure the highest possible audio quality. All at sample accurate timing utilizing our premium quality outboard Apogee Big Ben external word clock.
For transfer of DAT tapes, we have a Fostex D-10 Master DAT recorder. Again, using an all digital signal path and Apogee Master Word Clock.
For cassette tapes, we have a Tascam 122 MK II & Denon DN-770R cassette tape machines.
