  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />this recent release of vinyl osx really brings some welcome new features. i have noticed that tick, pops, low-rumbling and high scratchy sounds are even more realistic now, and have a deeper more three-dimensional sound. the pops in particular seem to resonate more, and the new version seems to add some subtle analog sound degeration at random intervals as well, a really nice touch, imo. as to the e-mail address question, i dont think that my spam has increased much since i began using vinyl, as i still get the same 15 or 20 spam e-mails per day that i always got, and they go straight into the junk folder and are then deleted anyway. acutally, i think the e-mail address is only used as a asci-variable by which the plug-in triggers differing personalized sound output. i say this after trying entereing different e-mail addresses and subsequently hearing alternate vinyl sound modificaitons to the original track. in all, a wonderful and highly useful bit of software that will be appreciated by today's cutting-edge digital music artists and nostalgia buffs alike.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />First, a reason for this is to simulate the sound of an old record. Say, for instance, you're doing a period show, and you can't get your pit orchestra to actually BE scratchy, you can make 'em sound scratchy. <p>But not with this plugin, apparently. Aside from asking for registration every time I've relaunched the host program, it doesn't return the right info, so the host tells me something is wrong with the plugin, and/or crashes. This is true with both Audacity and Amadeus II. <p>Wish it worked. Not much of an ad for their pay plugins as it is now.

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />wonderful little app. now all my cold, sterile, all-too-perfect digital tunes sound the way i actually remember they used to way back when. simply delightful. i guess the young folks today have no appreciation of the way things used to be.
