Cassette Tapes • Reel-to-Reel • Vinyl Records • Microcassettes • Alesis ADAT 8‑Track Digital Audio

Serving Mooresville, Charlotte, Lake Norman & Nationwide via Mail-In

At Kevin Sean Studios, we specialize in high-integrity, archival-grade audio digitization for personal, historical, and professional recordings. Whether you're preserving family voice recordings, vintage audio reels, vinyl LPs, or studio multitrack ADAT tapes, we provide pure, 1:1 audio transfers—performed entirely in-house, with no outsourcing and no audio manipulation or mastering.

Our focus is preservation, not production. We handle each item with precision and care, using studio-grade playback equipment, real-time transfer workflows, and manual inspection to ensure your recordings are digitized exactly as they exist — nothing more, nothing less.

⚠️ Disclaimer:

We are not audio engineers. We do not mix, master, EQ, enhance, or artificially clean your audio files. All transfers are true-to-source, captured exactly as they were recorded, with no alteration to the content or tonal character. If requested, we can provide master-quality WAV files, but these are still 1:1 archival captures — not engineered edits.
