Getting that "Dusty Popping Vinyl" Sound

[aesthetics]

I put some cloves in my cigarette, and to anyone who isn't familiar with cloves, they make the nicest sounding poppy/crackly noises on the planet.
So to make a long story short, an original way to get them dusty old vinyl noises everyone is chasing after. You could grind up a few cloves in a bowl, put a few drops of rubbing alcohol on top,
put that under a $5 microphone, light the bowl and get some sweet sounding crackles and pops.

Or you could look for some emo kid smoking djarum blacks alone in his room on youtube and sample that. But I think the DIY way is cooler
Cloves are like $1.99 for a bag of more than you'll ever need ever, $5 microphone is $5...

Just throwing around ideas

Just today i recorded the sound of my squeaky bathroom door opening real slowly on my phone, it sounds sorta like a rise.

@ marshy and narcissus

it's all about getting creative

[deadly_habit]

original field recordings and utilizing live recordings rather than samples or plugins is half the fun man

gently insert paintbrush bristles into crappy laptop microphone = instant vinyl cracklies.

It's nice for mechanical noise and lo-fi'ing the shit out of stuff but the crackles it produces are too thin compared to a worn vinyl, but it's free so dl it anyway.

no no no... you guys dont abuse it right... put it on a mixer track and crank the mechanical or electrical noises way up... then send like a burst of white noise into it or something, just enough to turn it on... n now its a synth, cause the way it works, it processes pops n shit after the mechanical noise... sy you layer in an effects chain > Vinyl with a wee bit of mechanical noise and the dust turned up, then a delay, then another vinyl with no noise just dust, another different delay, few reverbs here n there... then send a single highat through it at the start, and bounce down like 10 minutes of it....

It can range from fireworks too burial, depends on how many vinyl, delay reverb vinyl repetions your willing to make... but that LITTLE bit of mechanical noise that will just roll makes it somewhat a synth in my mind... killer ambience this way, specially with good reverbs.

Now thats going in deep, I apologise for my lack of experimentation .

Yeah, ABUSE IT YOO!!! Lol... My lil slogany-catch-phrase deal is its not what you use, but how you wire it...

N yeah JFK, I shoulda told you about that after you tried helping me get this effect a while back... that was my final solution, n I swear, Id be half betting thats what burial does for this... Youll have some fun with that...

Oh... n once you have all that chained up, if you do occasionally send some like mid-high sweepaction through the mixer channel occasionally, you get some cool effects, but it works on just blank runs too.
