If you provide us an MP3
or .WAV format, we'll clean the audio for you and spit
out a new CD for $39 per record.
If you have no way of getting this audio into the proper
format, we've also provided some alternatives for
you...when you click to purchase, you'll see your
options.
Your audio hasn't sounded this
good since the day it was recorded.
How Do I Get Started?

First, let's talk about the recording.
We have to get it in the proper format so that it can be
processed using our tools. If you have a tape, LP or 45
that is the current source of this material, we have a
tool that will help you record...you'll just need to
wire things into your computer's sound card to make the
recording.
You simply need to find a cable that
connects the audio outputs of whatever audio system you
have to your sound card's line input. (Virtually any
employee at Radio Shack can help you with this). The
computer input is a known source...it's either an 1/8
inch mini stereo jack...also known as 3.5mm. Again,
you'll want the Line Input on your computer's sound card
or chip. A Mic input is the last resort, as Mic inputs
use small amps which are cheap and noisy. We're trying
to eliminate noise here...not increase it. Practically
all Desktop machines have the following look...you'll
want the Blue jack.

And The Software?
Our Diamond Cut Software products are
the best in the world for recording, cleaning and
editing audio. For this particular project, we can
simply use a demo version of our popular DC
EIGHT software.
Just download the demo and install it
on your computer. Once you've successfully completed the
install, simply launch the product.
Essentially, the software is going to
turn your computer into a big tape recorder...you'll
wire up the audio output of your audio device and plug
it into the line inputs of your computer. Now, the
software will monitor those inputs and record the
results to your hard disk. We'll record the entire side,
stop recording and record the other side, so you should
have 2 large recordings.

You'll see a series of icons all along
the top of DC EIGHT. Simply choose the record
button...it's the big red circle of the 3 choices you
see below:
This will launch the recording screen
of DC EIGHT.
Let's see if we have levels. Just
click on the Pause Button. It's just to the left of the
red record button. This turns on the recording channels
without actually recording anything. Now, start your
tape player or phone playing and you should see the
green level meters start jumping to the sounds your
device is making. Your green level meters should be
registering right in the middle of the scale. You don't
want too much gain here.
If your levels are too high or too
low, just click on the "Adjust Levels" button
in the recording window...this will launch your sound
card's mixer and you can turn the line input gain up or
down.
Once you're happy with the level,
simply make sure you're at the point of the recording
you want to record and then hit the "Record"
Button. Now the software will record the output and
create a new file.
Record your audio and then hit the
Stop Button. You can then hit the Save button to save
the file you've just recorded.

Now you've got the file, just click on
the Treasured Recording Services product below and we'll
have you pay and provide instructions for getting your
file to us.
Our audio restoration specialists will
load your file into our system and remove a majority of
the clicks, pops and hiss and enhance the remaining
audio so it sounds the best it can. We'll then burn a CD
for you and return it postage paid.
