I recall I used the scratchiest record I could -- Phantom 309 by Red Sovine (ask my sister about it) -- and then looped it at the Sanctuary for the tune Darren, Bob and I wrote for my senior movie...<BR/><BR/>I've since come to rely on the Izotope plug-in. Did a production of something or other and we wanted all the music to match a scratchy recording we had, so it was quite handy in Audition to "scratch up" nice CD rips...<BR/><BR/>Good times...Jeff K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06066184275506238731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326339.post-59076353417763455872008-05-19T01:54:00.000-07:002008-05-19T01:54:00.000-07:00Hey dudes, thanks for weighing in.In my 4-track da...Hey dudes, thanks for weighing in.<BR/><BR/>In my 4-track days, I used pre-track LP scratch (i.e., the sound of the LP spinning, before the music actually kicked in), and looped and layered that over an already existing recording to get a pretty convincing LP sound. I never liked Grungelizer all that much...<BR/><BR/>On "below the fold" -- perhaps JT Whitney's journalism class is coming in handy after all!Andrew Durkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471871547839907538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326339.post-71290162568452954572008-05-18T10:10:00.000-07:002008-05-18T10:10:00.000-07:00I will cop to being the guy who says "rolling" whe...I will cop to being the guy who says "rolling" when clicking the "Record" button.<BR/><BR/>As to Exhibit B: I've also extensively used <A HREF="http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/vinyl/" REL="nofollow">iZotope's Vinyl</A> plug-in (free!) which gives you scratches and pops as if it was on a record.

What really fascinates me beyond the return of the physical gadgetry, is the way technological terminology spills into our everyday world, and then remains there, even when the technology is gone, such as your example of "fold"..."speed dial" on your cell phone would be another one...or when the guy in the booth at the recording studio says, "rolling!' after clicking record on the Pro Tools rig...Jeff Kaiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04101789221682608976noreply@blogger.com
