I have a couple of choral music cassettes which were semi-professionally recorded by our church long ago.

I would like to have them digitized and any necessary EQ / noise reduction performed, so that I can burn a few CD-Rs for church members.

There are dozens of outfits on the 'net offering this service starting at ten bucks a tape, but I don't get the impression that too many of them know about (for example) adjusting the azimuth when playing back the tapes.

If I had a tape deck with adjustable azimuth, I would do the initial transfer myself. But I don't think it would be cost-effective to invest in one just for this project. Noise reduction / EQ are beyond my experience in any case.

On the other hand, I don't have a lot of money to spend; this is not going to be a profit-making project.

Any recommendations for where I can get a good transfer and some post-processing done for a relatively inexpensive price?

Thanks very much!
