iZotope Vinyl Plug-In

March 6, 2009 gear No Comments

izotope-vinyl-plugin

Intriguing. Advanced. Utterly ridiculous. The marketing hype for this effects plug-in for Pro Tools says iZotope is the “ultimate lo-fi weapon” to take your delicious, pristine, 24-bit multi-track audio production and turn them into murky pieces of analog crap! iZotope is basically a free plug-in you can use to simulate playback of the recorded material on a vinyl album. Since the name of this blog is Turntabling, you’d think I’d be all for this plugin, but something about it doesn’t seem right.

I suppose iZotope would be GREAT as a fun gimmick on a digital-only release, but anybody dreaming of putting their music on an ACTUAL record would do well to run away screaming from this with haste.

Again, I think it would be amusing to tart up a portion of some digital track with iZotope, but that’s about as far as I think it would be useful–at least in MY music.

If you’re a Pro Tools user and are dying of curiosity, you can download the iZotope plugin at the product page and have a go.

March 19, 2011

Electronic Penis Choppers–one of the trouble-making side projects of Paisley Babylon. EPC plays coarser, more abrasive textures than Paisley Babylon–this is a band that likes its electronica sharp and spiky.
This particular digital single, The M Diary, is probably comparable to Wire at its most experimental–think of a more hyperactive and prickly “Small Electric Piece” from Wire’s 154 [...]

Paisley Babylon Dream Surgery Single

March 16, 2011

Dream Surgery by Paisley Babylon is a quite surreal experience. Nearly six minutes of electronic bliss recorded in Keflavik, Iceland in 1999 during a blizzard, this track was definitely influenced by the weather, the constant darkness in Iceland that time of year, and the lava fields stretching endlessly across the countryside.
Paisley Babylon specializes in electronic [...]
