Postal Reminder
Customers are responsible for secure packaging. Byrne Digital is not liable for damage caused during postage.
Turnaround Time
Most jobs are completed within the same week. A more accurate estimate is given once the tapes have been received and checked. That is the only sensible way to do it, because some jobs are straightforward and some tapes decide to be dramatic.
Privacy & File Retention

- No backups are kept unless specifically requested
- Playback is visually monitored during capture to ensure the recording is transferring properly
Important Tape Condition Information
Old tapes are unpredictable. Some play perfectly. Some do not. Some were stored in attics, sheds or damp presses and come out looking like they survived a shipwreck.
General Disclaimer
Final digital quality depends heavily on the original recording quality and the condition of the tape itself. Noise, distortion, tracking issues and age-related degradation may still be visible or audible.
Mouldy Tapes
Mouldy tapes cannot be processed and will be returned. Mould can contaminate playback equipment and other tapes, so it must be handled by specialist services.
Byrne Digital does not repair damaged tapes. If a tape is visibly mouldy or physically compromised, it will not be run through the equipment.
Areas Covered
Byrne Digital is based in Gorey, Co. Wexford, with nationwide coverage across Ireland through tracked postal service. Whether you are local or posting from the other side of the country, the process is the same: clear communication, careful handling, and no messing.
