A: We expertly convert standard DAT (Digital Audio Tape) tapes to digital formats. DAT tapes were a high-quality digital audio format popular in professional and semi-professional recording from the late 1980s through the 1990s. They resemble small video cassettes. If you have tapes labelled 'DAT' or 'Digital Audio Tape', we can convert them. Unsure of your exact tape format? Don't worry if you are unsure! Simply send us your tapes securely packaged in our Memory Box, and our experienced specialists will accurately identify each format upon arrival at our lab. We are equipped to handle DAT tapes in virtually any condition, including tapes that are scratched, faded, or showing signs of minor damage.

A: It's a common occurrence to find more tapes than initially anticipated! Our streamlined process is specifically designed for flexibility to accommodate this:

1. Provide an Initial Estimate & Start: Use our user-friendly online quote tool to provide your best estimate of the number of DAT tapes you have and pay the £10 deposit to receive your free Memory Box.

2. Pack All Your DAT Tapes: When your Memory Box arrives, simply pack all of your DAT tapes, even if the quantity exceeds your initial estimate.

3. Precise Assessment at Our Specialist Lab: Our expert technicians will accurately count and thoroughly assess all tapes upon secure arrival at our dedicated lab.

4. Transparent Invoice or Refund Process: We will then send you a clear online invoice for any additional tapes converted or issue a refund if applicable. You only pay for the final, accurately counted number of tapes after we have safely received and professionally assessed them. This ensures you can send all your tapes without needing to overestimate upfront and only pay for the precise number of tapes we successfully convert for you.

1. Full Refund for Blank Tapes: If, upon assessment at our lab, a DAT tape is found to be completely blank, you will automatically receive a full refund for the digitisation cost of that particular tape.

* Whether the content is unlabeled or of unknown origin.

* If there are mixed recordings or multiple events captured on a single tape.

Many of our customers have been delighted to rediscover long-forgotten audio moments and precious memories that they were not even aware were still preserved on their old DAT tapes. Our professional restoration process can even reveal details and improve clarity that were not easily discernible when originally listening to the tapes on standard DAT playback equipment!

A: Yes, absolutely! We specialise in the professional restoration of aged and damaged DAT tapes, including those affected by mould. Here is a summary of the types of damage we can typically address:

* Tapes contaminated with surface dirt or dust accumulation.

* DAT tapes that have been previously spliced or repaired.

Our Comprehensive Restoration Process:

1. Detailed Expert Assessment: Each DAT tape is meticulously evaluated by our experienced media specialists to determine the extent and nature of any damage.

2. Professional Cleaning & Restoration Techniques: We utilise broadcast-quality DAT decks and commercial-grade equipment. Tapes undergo physical cleaning to carefully remove dust, surface mould, and contaminants, significantly enhancing both the tape integrity and the quality of the analogue signal. We also address common issues such as 'sticky shed syndrome' if present in older tapes.

3. Archive-Grade Restoration Technology: We employ specialised, archive-grade cleaning and restoration technologies and solutions to maximise the recovery of your valuable audio content.

4. Necessary Physical Repairs: Our technicians perform any necessary physical repairs, such as re-splicing broken tapes or addressing tape stiffness issues to ensure smooth playback during digitisation.

5. High-Quality Digitisation & Stringent Quality Checks: Following the restoration process, tapes are digitised with meticulous attention to detail, and the resulting digital files undergo rigorous quality control checks to ensure optimal results.

No Additional Restoration Charges: All basic restoration procedures are included within our standard DAT tape to digital conversion pricing. In the rare event that a DAT tape is deemed beyond successful recovery (this occurs in less than 1% of cases), you will receive a full refund for that tape. We strongly advise that the sooner you choose to digitise your DAT tapes, the higher the likelihood of successful preservation and restoration of your precious memories!

A: At EachMoment, we are committed to utilising only industry-leading, broadcast-quality equipment for all DAT tape to digital conversion processes. This unwavering commitment to professional-grade technology is essential to ensure the absolute highest possible fidelity, accuracy, and long-term preservation of your precious DAT audio memories. Our key equipment components include:

* Professional Broadcast-Grade DAT Recorders (Digital Audio Tape Recorders): We exclusively employ top-tier, broadcast-standard DAT recorders, regularly serviced to ensure optimal performance. These recorders are meticulously engineered and specifically designed for professional audio playback and critical archival applications. They offer demonstrably superior signal processing capabilities, exceptional playback stability, and significantly reduced electronic noise levels compared to standard consumer-grade DAT players. A crucial feature of these professional decks is precision Azimuth Adjustment. Azimuth alignment is critical for optimal playback of DAT tapes, ensuring the read head is perfectly perpendicular to the recorded tracks on the tape. Misalignment can lead to significant loss of high frequencies and overall audio clarity. Our professional decks allow for fine azimuth adjustment to precisely match the original recording alignment, maximising audio fidelity and retrieving the full spectrum of sound from your DAT tapes.

* High-Resolution Analogue-to-Digital (A/D) Converters: We utilise only professional-grade A/D converters to accurately capture the analogue audio signal directly from our broadcast DAT recorders and convert it into a pristine digital format. These specialised converters are carefully selected for their exceptionally high bit-depth and ultra-precise sampling rates, typically 24-bit/96kHz or higher. This ensures the most accurate and detailed capture of the original audio information contained on your DAT tapes, effectively minimising any potential loss of audio quality or subtle nuances during the critical conversion process and faithfully preserving the full dynamic range and frequency response of your original recordings.

* Studio-Grade Audio Restoration Software (e.g., Cedar Audio DNS 2): For DAT tapes exhibiting signs of degradation, noise, or other audio imperfections, we employ industry-leading audio restoration software such as the Cedar Audio DNS 2. This powerful software suite allows our expert audio technicians to effectively reduce background noise (hiss, hum, etc.), remove clicks and pops, correct subtle frequency imbalances, and enhance the overall clarity and listenability of your digitised audio without introducing unwanted artifacts or compromising the integrity of the original recording. This ensures that your digitised DAT audio is not only accurately transferred but also optimally enhanced for modern listening enjoyment.

* Reference-Quality Studio Monitoring Systems: Throughout the entire digitisation process, we utilise reference-quality studio monitoring systems and headphones from brands like Neumann and Sennheiser. These highly accurate monitoring tools allow our technicians to critically evaluate the audio quality at every stage, ensuring precise adjustments and optimal results. This commitment to meticulous audio monitoring guarantees that the final digitised audio files are faithful representations of your original DAT recordings, meeting the highest standards of audio fidelity and archival quality.
