Transfers

Client Will Receive:

• A physical inspection of each reel, tape, or vinyl including its casing for any important data or calibration, as well as spotting of damages or other problems which can interfere with the transferring process

• Vinyl cleaning for clearest transfer

• Tape Baking - if necessary (this process can take up to 16 hours)

• Play-through and recording of audio on properly operating, calibrated, and cleaned machines for the safest and clearest possible transfer

• Recordings will be made at proper levels to ensure no digital distortion (aka "clipping")

• Transfers of digital media will be recorded at the same Sample Rate and Bit Depth for a 1:1 digital transfer

• Transfers of analog media will be recorded at the highest possible (or agreed upon) Sample Rate and Bit Depth for the most detailed transfer possible

• Tracks will be delivered as individual files in a folder (separated by event/artist/song/take), which will be zipped and emailed

• Tracks and folders will be named with as much information as possible for the best cataloging

• Original medium will be returned to the client upon completion of transfer

Attention:

• Mark almost always performs transfers alone. He works much faster and with ease by himself.

• Mark holds the right to deny the transferring of any medium which appears to be in too bad of a condition to hold up through the transferring process

• Mark is not liable for any damages or destruction of the material being transferred. The process is not always an easy one, and complications can occur. The client must agree to hold full liability and legal responsibility for their own property in the transportation and throughout the transferring process of the medium. Therefore, the client cannot press charges in the case of the medium being damaged or destroyed during the transferring process and/or is unable to be transferred due to such damages or destruction.

• Media and the information stored on it must be the property of the client. Mark will not transfer vinyl records or cassettes or reels of copyrighted material that is not registered to the client.
