For transfers up to 700 Mb a data CD will be prepared. For transfers over 700 Mb data DVD(s) are prepared. 
  The total cost depends on the recorded length of the original source (tape or record).
  8-track tape formats will be played back at 15 ips speed. 4-track and 2-track tapes can played back at 15 ips or 7.5 ips.  If your 8-track master tape was NOT originally recorded at 15 ips (or your 4-track or 2-track tape was not recorded at 15 ips or 7.5 ips) here's what to do: when you load the data files into your editing program, it is a very simple command to change the speed and pitch. A 1 octave change (up or down) will equal a change of tape speed by x2 or x1/2. 
  It is unlikely that a tape will be over 90 minutes. However, here's what happens if a tape is indeed longer than 90 minute: tapes 91 minutes to 178 minutes in length will be spit into two conversion projects (at the corresponding price per conversion project as described above) as follows: project 1 will be the first approx. 89 minutes of the tape; recording is stopped, rewound approx. 30 seconds, recording is restarted as project 2 for the balance of the recording.
  Unless the owner has logged the source tape or record and knows the duration, it is hard to predict how long each source is. Knowing the size of the reel does not mean very much. 
  The best approach in this situation is to know our pricing structure (see above).
  Armed with this knowledge, you can order based on your best "guestimate". We will charge the correct amount, based on the actual length, using the above published prices. 
  If, after we begin processing, we find out that the tape is blank or can not be recorded, we will not make a CD/DVD, but charge instead a "Recording Fee" of $14.25 plus return shipping, and return the material to the customer. 

  Do not send in source tapes or records if you are not prepared to pay for the entire project (total duration or number of CD's/DVD's that may result from the source recordings).
  Do not ask us to make editorial decisions or to perform a "tape logging" service. We will be unable to listen to the contents of the tape and convert only selections that meet certain criteria. Tape logging services will be charged our studio rate of $115 per hour. We are a transfer/conversion service and do not have the possibility to make editorial decisions. 
  Do not ask us to record, than delete portions of the tape in order that the job will result in fewer CD's. Example, do not ask us to record a tape, than put on the CD only songs 3, 7, 11 and 19. Or, record a tape, than ask us to delete all radio shows and leave only people talking. We are only able to convert full tapes, with all material that is contained on the tapes. 
  If the 1/2 inch tape needs splicing, we will charge $14.25 Recording Fees for each group of 2 splices (or part of a group of 2 splices) we perform.  If 1/4 inch tape needs splicing, we will charge $14.25 Recording Fees for each group of 3 splices (or part of a group of 3 splices) we perform.
