Tips for getting a dirty, vinyl sound

Hi all,

Im attempting to give my music a certain vinyl quality to it (in particular drums). Im looking for an overal Lo-Fi feel.

If anyone could give me some pointers tips on how to best apply effects to achieve this (UAD-1 or effects in general), i would be very grateful.

Perhaps, its my choice of source sounds thats wrong. For instance, Im using BFD for a source of drums, which are very clean and prestine by nature. Any idea how I would fatten and dirty these sounds up?

Try Trash or vinyl By Izotope they can really jank your signal up nicely and add record scratches to boot. :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll experiment with all of them, see what I discover.

Also...whats a dubplate? :eek:

a dubplate is a one-off record made out of acetate instead of vinyl.

something else worth trying would be running the digital signal to an analog mixer and back, with a the mixer slightly over-driven.
