Apparently this replicates the sound of "the flaws" of vinyl. I cram to understand what this is useful for....

From their website:
"You have complete control over the following parameters:

Mechanical Noise: The amount of turntable motor rumble and noise
Wear: Control how worn out the record is, from brand new to played a few thousand times
Electrical Noise: Internally generated electrical noise, such as 60 Hz grounding hum
Dust: The amount of dust on the record
Scratch: The number and depth of scratches on the record
Warp Depth: The amount of warping and the warp shape for the record???from no warp to the edges totally melted and warped"

  • this has been out for years. says right in the description what it is used for.

    "...to create authentic "vinyl" simulation, as if the audio was a record being played on a record player. "

    can be used for sample replays for sure.

    Um... yeah. I get that it's to recreate the sound of a record player playing a record.
    I just think its a weird and lame choice to try and force your non-vinyl audio source to sound like a record.
