VinylSound: Revitalize Your Tracks with the Magic of Vinyl
In the world of digital sound, where perfect clarity and transparency reign supreme, there is often a lack of that very warmth, that unique character, and the inimitable atmosphere that old-fashioned vinyl records provide. The barely audible crackle, occasional clicks, and soft background noise – these “deficiencies” are actually the soul of vintage sound, elements that add depth, nostalgia, and authenticity to any musical composition.
It is precisely to bring this unique vinyl magic to your modern digital recordings that the Rancorsoft team created the VST instrument VinylSound. This is not just another plugin, but a real portal to the past, which allows you to easily and quickly saturate your tracks with the lively, organic character of analog sound. Forget about the complicated searches for old records or the use of noisy microphones – VinylSound offers a ready-made, elegant solution.
What’s inside VinylSound?
The heart of VinylSound is a carefully selected collection of 13 unique sound loops, recorded directly from real vinyl records. These are not synthesized noises, but authentic clicks, crackles, and pops that convey the real texture and dynamics of vinyl. Each loop has its own character, giving you ample opportunities to experiment and find the perfect vintage shade for your track.
Full control over the sound
Despite its simplicity and intuitive interface, VinylSound offers flexible sound customization options, allowing you to subtly “feel” the vinyl soul of your track:
- MIDI activation and pitch control: The plugin is activated via a MIDI signal. This means that you can not only start loops, but also change the pitch of their sound by playing or sending higher or lower MIDI notes. This opens up interesting possibilities for creating different tonal variations of clicks or crackles, integrating them more harmoniously into your musical texture.
- Speed control (Speed): A speed slider is located on the virtual player, which allows you to change the playback tempo of the loops in the range from -100% to +100%. By slowing down the loop, you will get more “viscous”, deep clicks and slow crackles. By increasing the speed, you can create the effect of fast, fine crackling. This control is key to achieving exactly the “vintage feeling” you are looking for.
- Master volume control: A simple but necessary element for accurately balancing the level of vinyl noise in the overall mix.
VinylSound is ideal for creating atmosphere in lo-fi hip-hop, electronica, chillwave, indie, as well as for adding a unique character to any other genre where a hint of the analog past is needed. It is easy to use, does not overload the system, and allows you to quickly get results. If you want to add warmth, authenticity, and the unique charm of vinyl to your digital recordings, VinylSound from Rancorsoft will be your reliable assistant.
