Client Feedback

"We couldn't find anyone east of the Rockies to save our irreplaceable, 12 year old tapes. We found out about Steve through a mutual friend and drove out to his studio in NJ. He's got every old format you can think of and each machine, no matter how old, looks like brand new out of the box. He did a superb job of getting the tracks to digital; all are clean and warm sounding. He obviously uses great converters and he's a stickler for detail. Just the kind of guy that you need to salvage your precious old tapes."

-- Jack Morer, Producer/ Composer/ Guitarist, Tall Stories

"I recently produced a retrospective disc for The Clarks. The material we picked spanned decades as well as every conceivable format, track layout and tape speed -- 2", 1", even ADAT. Some of the tapes were in pretty bad shape. I sent the lot out to Steve, fingers crossed. I received a handful of hi-res DVD-ROMs back. The transfers were perfect, even the old beat up tapes. This release wouldn't have come off as well as it did without Sonicraft. Thanks!"

-- Sean McDonald, Sofa King Music Services

"After finding and old 1 inch 8 track of a band I played in some 30 years ago, I wondered what or who could help me to retrieve the audio. It must have been fate because a few days later Steve called to ask if our studio ever needed transfers made. He informed me that they could handle any format and deliver the audio back to me in any format I wanted.

Long story short I sent him the tape and it was better than I remembered it being when I got it back. He did such a good job in fact that I was inspired to have a band reunion and we all got in the studio and re-mixed those songs and re-lived our youth. Thanks Steve I owe you one. "

-- Wes Henley, President, Highland House Productions Inc.

"I've sent several projects to Steve Puntolillo at Sonicraft in the past year. Every time he has delivered a top notch product. I will continue to send my business to Sonicraft, and anytime I get an inquiry about transfer service, no questions asked I'll recommend them. The turn around time is quick, and the sound quality second to none. It's nice in business to have absolute confidence in a service provider. I have that in Sonicraft."

-- Joe Viers, Chief Engineer/Studio Manager, John Schwab Recording

"I cannot recommend Steve and his company any higher. He recently transferred four (4) 1" inch reels of 16-track Ampex 456 for me for a client (rescued from the wrath of Katrina, as well). He's got an amazing setup, he and his staff are totally involved with the transfers and will give your stuff the TLC it deserves. They'll put it on DVD-ROMs or a hard drive, and you'll be all set to go. Much much better than if you attempted it yourself. They've got a killer baking system as well, for older "sticky" tapes. The ONLY place you should deal with is Sonicraft."

-- Joe Hannigan, Weston Sound

"My experience with Sonicraft has been absolutely fantastic. The results were more than I'd hoped for. The clarity was positively astonishing.

But, the most important thing about Sonicraft is that they care. This was the reason that Sonicraft was chosen over 3 or 4 other restoration houses. It was this care that resulted in great-sounding music that can now be heard again in startling fidelity for the first time in over 20 years."

-- Ed Smith, Webmaster, Army-Blues.com

"It sounds wonderful! I love the clarity! It's like being back in the room with the musicians. I heard things on those tapes I've never heard before."

-- Ron Jefferson, Noted jazz musician and bandleader
