creating old vinyl record effect

Post by mikebush99 » Fri Feb 17, 2012 7:04 am

Hi

I'm wondering what is the best way to 'age' a track by adding pop, hiss and cracking as you might hear on an old 78 album.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you're using Audacity 1.3.14 on Windows, try iZotope Vinyl VST (free)

What a weird interest really :)
I wouldn't like to spoil good sound with such trash on purpose. And I have some badly scratched records, so I can get THAT without any special effects. :D
