The wedding CD was fantastic, My wife was surprised and really enjoyed the gift.  Thanks.  John
 
Greentree, thank you so much for all the work you did to save our valuable cassette tape. Steve  
WOW and Thanks! Mark   Thank you for the fine work that in Recovering the recording in that old [open reel audio] tape.  I was hoping it was my Father's voice but it was his brother's who also has been dead for many years. It was a nice surprise for my cousins. Peter
 
My Mother, Brother, Two Aunts, One Uncle, and Two Cousins who are on the recording [blue Gray Audograph disks] and myself want to thank you for the successful recovery process. I thought my mother would have a hard time listening to my Father (she is 82) but she laughed at the parts where she heard herself laughing on the blue disks. Thanks for everything.  Rodney
 
Received the CDs in the mail. I am 70 years old and my wife is 70. Most of the audio was during 1969-1970... They brought back
memories of our early married life when my son was 3 months old.. as well as my parents, now long gone. Thanks. Don 
 
Thank you so much...the CD is fabulous. I could hear my Grandfather's ...voice. I havn't heard his voice since 1992. This really means the world to my folks, thank you for your professionalism and care.  Gratefully, Carolyn  I just wanted to email and let you know that I am very pleased with the cassette tapes converted to CD's and the repairs made to the tapes. My daughter at age 2- she is 36 now!  Sheila
Thank you for providing such a valuable, professional service. Barbara  Thanks so much! I had fun sharing the CDs with my kids. Emily
 
FAQ
About noise reduction.  The best noise reduction is no noise reduction. High quality tapes and records will require very little noise reduction.  However, our media may not be optimum.  We will use as much noise reduction and equalization as is required- no more.  We strive to record as little noise as possible during the transfer process - minimizing the amount of digital processing.  Please discuss noise reduction with us if it is a concern.
