No worries! We'd love to help digitize ALL the media in your collection. We include extra safety item barcodes with every Legacybox in case you have more media you'd like digitized. If you do send in more items, we'll simply invoice you for these items once we check in your order at our processing facility.
Digitizing your analog media by hand is more of an art than a science, so while we can estimate processing times, it varies depending on your order's size and the type of media you send in, in addition to current demand. At this time, Standard Processing takes around 4-6 weeks. We also offer expedited options at checkout if you need your order back faster.
Every order includes regular status updates throughout the process in addition to access to a personal concierge to answer all your questions.

Transfer Reel to Reel Tapes to Digital
Before cassette tapes, there were reel-to-reel audio tapes. Think of reel-to-reel audio tapes as giant audio cassette tapes, but with the protective cassettes removed. Doing anything with open reels was a lot more involved, from recording and playback to storage.
Reel-to-reel, or open-reel audiotape, was the earliest form of magnetic tape used for audio recording. The supply or feed reel containing the tape was mounted on a spindle, the end of the tape threaded through mechanical guides and tape head assembly, and attached to a take-up reel. The earliest reel-to-reel recorders used steel tape. Reel-to-reel tape was used in early tape drives for data storage on mainframe computers, videotape recorder (VTR) machines, and high-quality analog audio recorders. Inexpensive reel-to-reel tape recorders were widely used for voice recording in the home and in schools before the compact cassette gradually took over starting in the 1960s.
The advantages of reel-to-reel tape were that it allowed a performance to be recorded without the time limitations of a phonograph disc, and it permitted recordings to be fairly easily edited, by way of splicing.
Cassettes eventually displaced reel-to-reel recorders for consumer use, but in the music industry, reel-to-reel tape has never gone away. Recording to analog tape creates a warmer sound preferred by many musicians over other audio formats.
Do you have a reel-to-reel machine for playback? Over time the sound quality on those reels will deteriorate. It’s important to transfer the precious memories on your reels over to digital format as soon as possible. With Legacybox’s reel-to-reel transfer service, you can convert your tape to thumb drive, digital delivery through Legacybox Cloud™ or CD for easy upload to your computer. We at Legacybox are standing by and ready to help. We will not compress or down-convert your files, bringing those old recordings back to life for you and your family to enjoy.
