Converting Audio to Digital Formats

Need audio for your website? Or to preserve it for posterity? Or just so you can listen to it again? We can convert audio recorded on formats including cassette, reel tape, micro-cassette, LP, video or other digital formats including DAT, CD, minidisc to whatever format you need! Commonly utilised RealAudio, Wave/AIFF and MP3 formats are no hassle. We can deliver them to you any way you like including internet transfer (Web/FTP) or email. Prices start from $33.
* Please note, multichannel (ex. 5.1 surround sound) conversion not available.


Recording & Producing Your Audio
(All prices include GST)

Whatever your event, we can record it - be it music or talk or anything in between.
Your concert, your gig, your show. Your seminar, public lecture, debate, speech night, presentation, forum, your entire conference. At your venue or here in our studios.

We can provide it to you in the format of your choice - CD, MP3, .wav or whatever you want. We can email, post or deliver your audio to you - it's your choice.

Outside Recording
$143 base fee plus $55 per hour
For example, to record a 2 hour talk or concert would cost ~$253, based on 3 hours of recordist time.

Post Production of your Recording
$22 per Audio CD or .wav data CD supplied
$22 per MP3 emailed, FTP or supplied on CD

Editing/Mastering
$143 per hour
For example, from a recording (costed separately) of an annual school concert, a master CD is requested with each item as a separate track and with two items ommitted. The original was 78 minutes long. Editing and mastering will take 1 - 2 hours.

Band/Music Recording
(All prices include GST)

Radio Adelaide broadcasts bands and ensembles every week. One of the first things many musicians notice when they visit is our studio facilities. Often this develops into inquiries of the possibility of recording here.

Well, that possibility certainly exists. Just think what you may be able to achieve here, off-air, with a little more time, effort and assistance from our engineers, at agreeable rates!

A community radio station is like a cultural terminal of ideas and sounds, which means there's no better place to work with people who are attuned to what you wish to accomplish. We have experience mixing and recording practically every genre of music, and every logistical situation from solo artists to orchestras.

Because we're so busy with other aspects of community radio, our studios are only available after hours; but we've found that, with most people working day jobs and with parking etc so difficult to find in the city during daytime our operational methods mesh with your creative ones perfectly.

Every job is different, and all artists have different needs. Don't think that you're committing to the making of an entire album with us from start to finish (though we're happy to!). For example, you may wish to record here but take your project elsewhere for mixing. Many musicians record at home - perhaps you need the drums, guitars and vocals recorded here but can add the 'line level' instruments yourself later. Maybe you're just making a quick demo, or overdubbing a single instrument. Anything from basic stereo to elaborate multitracking, 'dry sound' or crammed with effects, can be achieved in a way which will suit your working style and your budget.

Seeing is believing, so call Don or Darren on 8303 5000 and make an appointment.
