vinyl effect

Post by Wayne » Sun Dec 05, 2010 2:28 pm

Everyone wants to remove vinyl crackling and popping sounds it seems. I want to add them to a recording to make it sound like a worn old 78.
Is there any such effect available? I dont have any way to make my own track.

Have a look on Freesound.org (the open freesound project http://www.freesound.org ) and search for "vinyl noise".

Use the Equalizer effect to reduce the bass of your recording and also reduce the highest frequencies.
Import the vinyl noise that you have downloaded from Freesound.org onto a new track and use the Repeat effect to make it as long as the music.
Adjust the levels of both tracks according to how much noise you want.
Export the finished project.
