“A Passion For Analog” is much more than just a slogan. In fact, it is more of a way of life. We have nothing against digital recording. It has its place and properly handled, it is a fabulous medium. But, it is NOT what WE do. As far as we are concerned, there is NOTHING like the sound of analog and especially sound that is recorded on tape!

You have to go back to 1965, when Analog Audio Inc President/Owner, Leslie Brooks purchased his first audio tape recorder, and discovered his life-long passion for analog sound. Originally it was for transferring the sound of 16 inch “Old Time Radio" transcription disks to tape, but soon thereafter the modern music scene caught fire and the sound of original recordings on ¼ inch tapes recorded at 15ips became known as the ultimate medium for the reproduction of recorded sound.

In order to properly care for your tapes certain “accessory” items are necessary. These include, but are not limited to…

Splicing Tape - to fix breaks, attach leader and edit your tapes
Leader Tape – to protect and mark the beginnings and ends of your tapes
Recording Tape – to record your favorite sound
Extra Reels – both metal & plastic in various sizes
Tips, Advice & Services – to care for your tapes and machines

It’s all here in our web site. Please explore the site and if you have any questions feel free to email Analog Audio Inc. or call 561.318.7493 during our regular business hours.

PROTECT YOUR VALUABLE RECORDINGS!

Anyone who owns a computer knows the importance of “backing up” their data. One false move and you can lose all your important files, photos, etc. It is no different in the world of analog tapes. Engineers have known this since the earliest days of magnetic tape. The accidental slip of a finger with the “Safety” off on a tape deck can wipe out valuable recorded material. A malfunctioning machine can stretch or snap tape in an instant. To ensure the availability of recorded sound, high quality dubs of important tapes were made to guarantee that if something happened to an original, a back-up copy would be available.

The valuable tapes in your collection may be almost impossible to replace. That is why, just as it became standard practice with recording studios, it is CRITICAL to have high quality dubs of your favorite recordings! The best way to do this is to have Safety Masters made. This allows you to keep the original safe by having an exact copy available for play.

A properly made safety copy is virtually indistinguishable from the original. Not even your dog could hear the difference! We use STRICTLY professional gear. Our MCI JH-110s are the same machines on which literally tens of thousands of masters were made back in the 1980s and 1990s. Our machines have been rebuilt from the ground up. All audio circuits have been rebuilt to meet (and actually exceed!) original factory specifications. This assures you the most audibly "perfect " copy that can be made.

Our services include the following to guarantee the best possible transfer:

Tape Reconditioning (Replacing old loose splices and damaged leader prior to dubbing)
De-hydrating (Commonly known as “baking” for certain tapes prior to dubbing)
Safety Mastering (Straight 1:1 high quality dubbing)

NOTE: Problem tapes like Ampex/Quantegy 406, 407, 456 & 457; Scotch 226 & 250 and similar formulations must be “baked” before ever putting them on a machine. Running Ampex 406 before properly de-hydrating it can cause PERMANENT damage in the form of catastrophic shedding!

The cost for this safety mastering service varies based on several factors including: the amount of reconditioning needed (if any), the length of the original recording, the type of reel for the Safety Master (metal or plastic), etc. Call 561.318.7493 during business hours or email Analog Audio Inc to arrange a quote!
