Very well. Paul was in regular communication, which led to the best outcome possible with very old tapes. Paul was a master at editing the tapes so that they sound far better now than they did then. He was a pleasure to work with.

This entire process was excellent. Paul answered my initial phone call and addressed all of my questions. I immediately determined that he could provide the service I needed. At our first meeting he outlined the options I had and followed that up with an email so it was easy for me to make decisions about the type of CD’s I wanted for each recording. Once he started working on the tapes he sent me updates which I really appreciated. The turn-around time was quick and the final product was wonderful. Paul did a great job and provided outstanding service.
Description of Work: I needed to have recordings from old cassettes put on CD’s.

The service was fast and the cost very reasonable. In discussing the options up front, Paul was clear and practical about which solutions best fit our needs. He is very expert in the music technology arena and is prepared to serve both consumer-level music listeners like ourselves as well as sophisticated audiophiles. As a musician himself, Paul truly has a passion and respect for the quality of the music. He did not try to sell us more than we needed, and we are delighted with the quality of the music he delivered. The albums were old and much played, and Paul was able to largely eliminate the crackles, pops and other extra sounds. So we are truly enjoying once again our treasured music from years past. I would highly recommend Play It Again Paul for digital conversion of analog music as well as other music technology solutions.
Description of Work: We have many treasured, well used record albums that we could no longer play and needed them converted to an accessible digital medium so that we could once again enjoy the great music. We contacted Play It Again Paul based on a friend's recommendation, and received prompt advice on the choices for digital conversion. After reviewing the options with Paul, we decided to have the music both made into CD's and uploaded to the cloud, so that we would have multiple options for playback. The records were considerably worn, so we needed to have the sound cleaned up for the new digital versions.

Given the condition of the audio tapes, my expectations were not very high. However, during the conversion to digital format, Paul used his software and expertise to "clean" the audio of noise and other distractions to the point where it was almost like being in the same room with the participants. The audio tracks on the resulting digital files are easy to understand, convenient to store, and safe from potential damage. The contents of those digital files are a genealogical "gold mine" for me and my family. Thank you, Paul!
Description of Work: I needed to have some 20-year-old micro-cassette audio tape recordings converted to digital files for preservation. The tapes were recorded on a small hand-held audio recorder during interviews with elderly family members regarding family genealogy. The audio on the tapes was noisy from equipment issues and tape degeneration due to age and, therefore, difficult to understand.
