Media Digitization and Restoration

Media Digitization

Here at Dubway we offer professional restoration, digitization, and archiving of many older sources of audio and video, from analog reel to reels and demo cassettes that you’ve had in your attic for as long as you remember, to multi-track tapes from that studio session back in the day, to those home videos you recorded on a long-broken Handicam.

We can transfer your recordings from almost any media: vinyl, cassette, reel to reel tape (2" 24 track, 1/2" 8 track or 2 track, 1/4" 4 track or 2 track), 8 Track, microcassette, MiniDisc, DAT, DA88, 16 or 20 bit ADAT, CD, U-Matic, VHS and VHS-C, MiniDV, Hi8, DVD, and other digital file formats.

Tape Baking & Audio Restoration

Bring us your old recordings, and we will bring them back to life! Physical media does degrade over time, and that can lead to some distracting clicks, pops, hiss, and worse in your recordings, but if you have a scratchy old record or a tape that’s in questionable condition, don’t worry! After your transfer is complete, we can apply digital noise filtration to minimize any unwanted noise.

As you may know, certain varieties of tape (most often Ampex 456 and some types of VHS and U-Matic) have an issue where they start to take on moisture after around 10 years. The tape can expand and jam up the transport mechanism of a tape machine, or the binder can loosen up and literally shed off the tape, destroying your recording. Through a process called 'tape baking' we can render your tapes playable again, then can make a digital or analog transfer of the original material.
