Transfer Rates

Unattended Mastering:

Rate: $100 per hour.
We estimate that a flat transfer takes 1.5 to 2.5 times the length of the audio. For example, a one hour reel of tape will take between one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half hours of studio time to transfer.

Minimum Charge:

$100 for mono or stereo audio

$150 for multitrack audio

Tape Baking:
We can bake 5 reels of 2" or 10 reels of 1/4" tape in one round of baking. For the first bake we charge $75, which covers up to two days of baking. Tapes occasionally need longer bakes (we've seen them require up to 4 days) and any additonal baking past the first two days is another $50, until done ( if we have to give up, this $50 will not be charged). Larger quantities can be quoted on an individual basis. Give us a call or email.

*The fine print:

A deposit for the estimated cost of the transfer must accompany all materials before Mr. Toad's will begin work on the job. We accept Cash, Personal, Business or Cashier's Check, Visa, Mastercard and Discover.

Our turnaround time is generally 7-14 days. This is calculated from the day we have received all workable materials.
