Let RAL Productions preserve your memories by transferring and digitizing your tapes to downloadable files, or optical medium like CD or DVD. Optical storage shelf life for modern formulations of CD and DVD media is typically 50 to 100 years without fear of data loss or degradation.
It’s a fact that tapes deteriorate over time. With exposure to changes in temperature in humidity, the priceless recordings of birthdays, weddings, family life and sporting or school events can be lost forever. Even mildew from storage in dark, damp places can permanently damage recordings. Some tape formulations are more notorious for aging poorly and will often shed their magnetic oxide over time.
With most tapes being twenty years old or more, now is the time to convert your tapes to digital and preserve important memories for the future.
Digital copies of tapes can be safely backed up, emailed, played on your smart phone, uploaded to YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok, and shared with family and friends without any loss of quality.
