>>>Safety copies of the master materials used for finished Compact Discs or cassettes are always recommended.
We cannot overemphasize the value and importance of making these safety copies and of storing them properly. The different recording systems used here require different backup media and methods.
  • DVD-RAM is used to back up RADAR24 projects. It is our normal practice to backup RADAR24 work after substantial changes to the project.
  • Exabyte tapes can store a SADiE project’s complete data , so that work on the project can be resumed at a later date. Used in another way, they also can serve as DDP Compact Disc masters, containing all the data required to manufacture an individual Compact Disc. SADiE projects are generally more short-term and are often backed up only on special-order.
  • Finally, our Alesis Masterlink recorder permits us to run CD-ROM's containing finished audio files in up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution, in the AIFF format.

>>>Graphics files are not normally backed up at Studio Dual, although copies can be run to Compact Disc or data DVD-R at a nominal cost, by request. The computer files used to generate your "finished films" are kept on our hard disks until your project has been manufactured. It is your responsibility to secure the return of those films from the manufacturer, should you desire. We attempt to keep graphics files on hand as long as possible, but their considerable size means that we cannot guarantee their long-term availability or integrity.

Studio Dual does not warrant the fitness or merchantability of products which it purchases from outside suppliers. All tapes and materials are stored at clients' risk.
