In the world of digital sound, where flawless purity reigns, it is sometimes the “imperfection” of vinyl that gives music its true character. Warm tones, subtle hissing, and the charming crackles of vinyl records have a unique atmosphere. It is this magic that the VINYLUSION plugin from developer VETRIX aims to recreate.
Recreate the Magic of Vinyl with VINYLUSION
VINYLUSION is a VST plugin designed to give your digital recordings the authentic sound of a vinyl record. It allows you to easily integrate all those wonderful, warm, and characteristic sounds associated with the vinyl era directly into your digital project. Forget about the complicated processes of recording from real players.
The main goal of the plugin is to accurately emulate the natural shape and texture of vinyl record sound. It reproduces the entire spectrum of sound artifacts: gentle background hiss, random clicks and pops that add “life,” and the characteristic static noise. All these elements together create the feeling of an old, beloved record, which gives the track a unique warmth and an expressive vintage-retro mood.
The Heart of Vintage Sound: Key Features of VINYLUSION
- Emulation of all key vinyl sounds: crackles, pops, static noise and hiss.
- Adds unique warmth, depth, and an authentic vintage feel to tracks.
- Perfect for creating Lo-Fi, Retro, Hip-Hop, Electronic, and other genres.
- Provides the ability to fine-tune every aspect of the “vinyl” sound.
VINYLUSION Modules: Delving into Details and Control
VINYLUSION provides detailed control over different elements of the vinyl sound through separate, specialized modules. This structure allows you to create both subtle effects that simply add a bit of warmth, and more expressive, characteristic textures.
- MEKANIKX: This module emulates and allows you to adjust the mechanical and background noises generated by the player itself (sounds of rotation, tonearm movement, etc.). Adds realism and a feeling of “live” playback.
- T-TABLE A and T-TABLE B: These are key modules for creating classic “vinyl” crackles and pops that come from dust or scratches. The presence of two modules makes it possible to mix or adjust different types of crackles, giving more variability, characteristic of real vinyl. You can control their frequency, volume, and character.
- STATIKX: The STATIKX module works as a static noise generator, imitating the constant hiss of vinyl. It allows you to adjust the intensity and spectral characteristics of this noise, creating both a barely noticeable “warmth” and a more pronounced lo-fi effect.
Give Your Music the Soul of Vinyl
VINYLUSION by VETRIX is a sound design tool that allows you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past and give your modern recordings the depth, warmth, and unique character of vinyl. Use it carefully or experiment, creating expressive Lo-Fi textures. The possibilities are almost limitless.
