Tape Baking & Repair
Some analog tape gets "sticky" as it ages. The tape is dehydrated through a special process called "tape baking," which often makes the tape temporarily playable – long enough to mix or transfer the content to a digital format. We will inspect each reel and repair any edits if necessary.
We can bake 1/4" and 1/2" reels as a batch. A batch would include as many of the same width reels of tape as space allows. For example, several 1/4” reels can be baked at the same time or several 1/2” reels can be baked at the same time. We cannot combine different tape widths in the same batch. For larger projects, a block rate is available. For more information contact us, or go to our Request a Quote page here...
