Steven's a nice dude, and gives more-than-fair trade in prices. The atmosphere is the coolest of any of the other shops in Asheville, and I love the fact that there is a rotating stock of used effects pedals from other players. I will definitely be a repeat customer for these reasons. ...read more

How We Do It! - Before you trust your one-of-a-kind recording to anyone, you're probably asking yourself "How do they do it?" This gets a bit technical, but that's part of our business. Your recording is carefully examined and assessed for condition, then cleaned and prepped as needed for optimum digital transfer. For a 45 rpm, 33-1/3 rpm or 78 rpm disk, this means flooding the vinyl grooves and deep cleaning with a specially formulated solution to safely remove all dirt, dust, finger grease and even molds and mildew that often grows in the grooves of these old recordings. When the recording is absolutely clean again, the best transfer can then be made. Different needles or stylus are used, depending on the type and speed of the original disk. In the case of reel to reel tapes, many of these old reels suffer from excessive moisture issues due to a poor formulation of the middle "binder" layer on tape. This requires a process known as "tape baking" which is actually a slow and careful de-humidifying, allowing the binder layer to re-adhere to the tape and metal oxide layers, allowing a safe and healthy transfer to the digital domain. All reels and cassettes are also carefully fast forwarded and "repacked" before transfer to minimize the possibility of "wow and flutter". With a collection of carefully restored and calibrated record turntables and tape machines, we transfer your recordings into digital files in a computer workstation specifically designed for music recording and enhancement. The digital recordings can then be processed for noise reduction, and if desired, restored and enhanced by state-of-the-art software, enhancing the end results to make music listening a pleasure again! We can then transfer your precious recordings to archival-quality gold Audio CDs for maximum life and sound quality, literally the finest available anywhere. You can also request data versions of the files on CD-R or DVD-R as a redundant back-up. We do tape and vinyl conversion to CD, DVD, Mp3 and any other format. We can restore one recording or entire collections. At Acoustic Audio, we treat every recording like a rare and valuable archive of the past, because it usually is. We are equipped to handle almost every tape and vinyl format, and able to restore and transfer your valuable recordings to a CD (or cassette). Digital noise reduction can remove annoying noise problems that plague older recordings, and careful EQ adjustment can restore and even enhance old recordings to better-than-original quality. With over 30 years experience in music and recording, and a large collection of both classic analog audio gear and state-of-the- art digital audio equipment, we can help you save your unique audio memories, allow you to listen to your music on modern music systems and preserve your rare recordings for the future. We also do extensive forensic audio re-mastering for clarity. Call and tell us about your audio project! 828-645-8868 ...read more

I know you've seen electric guitars but have you ever seen an electric harp? I have a new one built by Lyon and Healy in Chicago. It has a solid body with pickups on every string. So it has a lovely light jazz sound. Plus it is a beautiful blue. I tried it out on stage one day and people were fascinated. I may not use it for the Bridal March but it will work well for background music at events and outstanding for concerts. Stairway to Heaven on electric harp!
