Transfer and Restoration Pricing
All archival transfers are performed on an hourly basis at $50 per hour for the first hour and billed in ¼-hour increments thereafter. We do not charge a per piece rate for restoration. Rates for restoration services are charged at $75 per hour and billed in ¼-hour increments and are best quoted upon after initial transfer of recorded material. Creative Audio Works takes a disciplined approach tailored to each recording and charging a fixed rate for this restoration service would be a compromise. All of our CD’s are transferred onto archival quality gold CD’s guaranteed to last 100 years by the CD manufacturer. The first CD burning is included in the above fees. Additional CD’s are available at extra cost of $20 each.
Album Cover Art: Jewel case inserts with front cover of the album, printed in high resolution are included.
Additional Charges
Cassette repair or repackaging is provided at $75 per hour in ¼-hour increments (minimum order pricing applies.)
Tape Baking for Sticky Tape Syndrome
This is a process occasionally required to restore analog tape to playable condition. In most cases, the need for this is not realized until work begins on your project. If this occurs, Creative Audio Works will contact you for approval before continuing. If approved, the below prices will be applied.
