Conversion Experience
Under Design was founded in 1992, working in many media forms integrating design into real-world applications. We have nearly 20 years of experience in digital recording, multi-media development, audio compression and digital encoding. We've added extensively to our audio processing hardware and assembled top-of-the-line equipment to ensure quality transfers at an affordable price. We create standards-compliant CD-R's with top-rated media to ensure a high-caliber and highly-compatible product.
Digital Mastering
It begins with a general inspection of the tape to check for damage, then it's run through a loosening cycle on our broadcast-quality cassette decks that are professionally maintained on a daily basis. The audio signal is digitized using our professional grade audio card before our audio engineers do some post-processing on the audio. We remove the inherent tape hiss, trim the tracks, amplifiy and even the levels before re-mastering it back onto redbook-audio CD's. Each CD gets marked with simple, easy-to-read identification, then stored in a paper sleeve.
End of an Era?
For a while there, audio tapes were the way to easily distribute sound and music from peer to peer. While the internet may have replaced it, the information on those tapes is still precious, if not a dated reminder of the not-so-distant past. Save them for posterity on CD media sure to last 20+ years. Most manufacturers have discontinued production of blank tapes and tape equipment in 2007, so you know every cassette tape is now considered a relic, and plans should be made to archive important tapes!

Audio Cleanup
It's standard with every cassette we convert for our customers: We run a post-recording audio filter on the recording to remove inherent tape hiss, leaving you with a clearer sounding recording! If we note blank areas seperating tracks in your cassette tape, we'll include a track marker on the CD, too! No more fast-forwarding!
Tape Repair
Sometimes your favorite cassettes suffer from misbehaving players! We'll gladly repair any cassette audio tape you submit for conversion. Snapped Tape? Warped in the sun? No problem! We can't promise perfect audio (they'll defintely be a disturbance where the tape snapped) but we will gladly recover the rest of the tape for posterity!
