Vinyl to Digital
What types of vinyl records does Heirloom digitize?
Heirloom digitizes all standard vinyl sizes, including 7-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch records, whether they’re singles, EPs, LPs, or one-of-a-kind recordings. Each record is inspected to ensure safe playback and capture.
How are vinyl sides and tracks delivered digitally?
Each side of a vinyl record is transferred into its own digital audio file, making it easy to listen, organize, and share recordings exactly as they were originally pressed.
What digital format will my vinyl recordings be delivered in?
Digitized vinyl is delivered as MP3 files at 128 kbps, a widely supported format that balances sound quality with easy playback across phones, computers, and modern audio devices.
Can Heirloom digitize warped or imperfect records?
Slightly warped records can often be digitized safely. However, deep warps caused by heat exposure—such as records left in hot cars or attics—may not be playable. This is why digitizing vinyl early is especially important for rare or irreplaceable recordings.
Does Heirloom remove background noise from vinyl?
Heirloom minimizes obvious playback noise when possible, but focuses on creating a faithful 1-to-1 digital capture that preserves the original character of the recording. This approach ensures authenticity and avoids overprocessing.
Can I enhance or clean up the sound after digitization?
Yes. Once you have a clean master file, there are many digital audio tools available online that let you reduce noise, adjust levels, or enhance clarity to your personal taste—without risking the original vinyl.
How are my digitized vinyl files delivered?
Your digitized audio files are delivered to your secure Heirloom digital vault, where they can be streamed or downloaded anytime. Original records are carefully returned after processing.
