To follow along you’ll need three things: a copy of the free cross-platform sound editor Audacity, a free copy of the Audacity-compatible VST plugin iZotope Vinyl, and a sample song to play with. In order to do that you’d need to remix the entire album with the sound effects added to the tracks before burning the CD.įortunately while this trick might be a little more involved than the two previous examples of web-based and mobile-app solutions, it’s both free and pretty straight forward. Let’s say, for example, you wanted to create a burned CD of an MP3 album to play in your car with the vinyl sound effects. Layering the sound effects over your music is easy to do and doesn’t permanently change the music but what if you want to make a copy of your music with the effects permanently applied? While we could never recommend editing your only files (such as the original rip of a CD that you no longer own) there are more than a few reasons you might want to make a copy and apply the vinyl effects permanently. Despite the fact that the dirty-record noise weren’t intended to be part of the listening experience they were part of the record listening experience and they’re as much a part of our memories of listening to old and playworn records as they are of yours. Is there anyway I can recreate the whole hiss-and-pop bit that comes with playing old records on a turntable with my actual music collection? I’m open to any ideas or suggestions you might have! Thanks so much guys!Īlthough the hiss and pop of old records is actually the result of dirt, grime, and scratches on the record (and was historically considered problematic because it distorted the actual recording) we absolutely get where you’re coming from. I know I could always get an actual record player and hunt down some old records, but I already own a lot of the music that I grew up listening to in digital form. I grew up listening to records with both my parents and grandparents, and I’d really like to recapture that sound of that experience even though the record players and the records themselves are long gone. Read on as we show you how to mimic the sound of an old record with your digital music collection. While the crisp and clean recording that digital music allows for is great for perfect reproduction, there’s something to be said for the snaps, crackles, and pops of an old record in play.
