| '''Disclaimer:''' While we strive to provide accurate and high-quality conversion services, please be aware that the quality of the converted audio may vary depending on the condition and quality of the original reel-to-reel audio tape you provide. We cannot guarantee the restoration of audio beyond its original quality. By using our service, you agree that any conversions are performed at your own risk, and we are not liable for any loss or damage to the original recordings or any discrepancies in the converted audio. | |||
|- | |||
| With two conversion stations, we are allowing one reservation per day for each station. | |||
|- | |||
| Tapes are converted to MP3 files utilizing Audacity software. | |||
|- | |||
| We use Audacity, an easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. | |||
|- | |||
| The software can also be used to edit the recording allowing you to remove portions, rearrange them and reduce to sections of 15 MB or less for uploading to FamilySearch Memories. | |||
|- | |||
| Tapes will be digitized based on the beginning speed of each tape. They will remain at that speed for the entire tape, even if their are speed changes that may occur throughout the recording (not likely, but possible). | |||
|- | |||
| Our staff will not perform any editing of your recording, including removing portions of the digital recording or rearranging or reducing any part of the digital recording including changing recording speed. These modifications are to be performed by you the patron. | |||
|- | |||
| Each reservation made are for either (1 ea.) - 7 inch reel or (2 ea.) - 5 inch reels or (4 ea.) - 3 inch reels. Digitalization process will take up to one week to complete. The Center Staff will notify you by telephone when your tapes have been converted and ready to be picked up. | |||
The sum of the tape reel sizes submitted can not exceed 12 inches. For example: | |||
:* 1 @ 7 inch + 1 @ 5 inch = '''12 inches - OK''' | |||
:* 2 @ 7 inch = '''14 inches - Not OK''' | |||
:* 1 @ 7 inch + 1 @ 5 inch + 1 @ 3 inch = '''15 inches - Not OK''' | |||
:* 4 @ 3 inch = '''12 inches - OK''' | |||
