Ree-to-Reel Tape to Digital and CD Conversion

Why Convert Your Reel-to-Reel Tapes?

Magnetic tape doesn’t last forever. Over time, open-reel (or “reel-to-reel”) tapes can experience tape shedding, audio dropouts, and loss of clarity. Even when stored carefully, the natural ageing of the binder material can cause irreversible deterioration.

Digitising your tapes now ensures those sounds are not lost to time. Many customers choose to preserve:

Family recordings and oral histories
Band sessions and live performances
Lectures, interviews, or archival projects

Converting your reel-to-reel tapes to digital formats means your recordings can be easily played, stored, and shared. Whether you want to relive special moments through your home stereo, archive them on a computer, or share them online, DiskBank makes the process simple and secure.
