Sound processing ideas for a vinylesquer sound?
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2012 1:11 pm
Hi,
As I am suffering from bad case of scratch withdrawal syndrome (my deck broke down waiting for a new one to arrive from mail order...), I thought it would be a good time to check into some sound processing techniques for obtaining a more vinylesque tone with using digital sound files and ms. pinky.
What I mean by "more vinylesque sound" is getting the grittier, dirtier sound of vinyl - the interplay of slightly worn record, stylus and pre.. And how that affects the scratching sound especially.
Let's hear your tips & tricks on sound processing! Do you prefer processing the audio files themselves or the audio output of ms. pinky to get your tone? What kind of processors do you use, plugins or hardware? Not asking anyone to reveal their exact parameter values or device models/settings, just some generalizations in the subject. Also interested in the physical/acoustic theory side of this, so any wisdom you have on this would also be appreciated.
Myself, I've had some quite nice results with bit depth reduction and tube distortion sim plugins, placed after ms. pinky audio output..
