HOW WE CONVERT LPS
Labeling
The first step is to carefully label all your LPs, this will help you identify the audio files to the physical media later.
CONVERSION PROCESS
The next step is to plug in a special piece of equipment that allows us to interface a record player into a PC. We then record the record, making note of any jumps or hiccups that we can try to fix later.
Authoring
Then we will go into the audio file of the record and try to iron out any skipping we can find. We also adjust the levels, remove any empty space, and make any other adjustments that may be necessary.
Copied to Storage
Finally, we will copy the files to a storage device of your choosing.

My LP is very old, can I still transfer it?
Almost certainly! You will be surprised at the quality of LPs from even decades ago. While we can’t guarantee that the quality of the LP will be good, we can say that from experience it normally is.
History
- An LP (long play) was format used as a way to listen to music dating back to the 1920’s.
- It worked by placing a thin needle onto a set of grooves that were read and amplified in order to create music.
- LPs were replaced in the 1980’s and 1990’s when CD’s became widespread.
- The benefit of this new medium is that it could last much longer and was much more compact.
Downsides
- LPs are an analogue format. What this means is that as the LPs are played over and over again, they get damaged and lose some of their quality.
- This unfortunatly means that your tapes could loose quality over time
- This means that even if you have a record player, you may not be able to enjoy your same LPs for decades to come.
