winding down effect?

Post by bluespkr75 » Mon Jan 30, 2006 9:25 pm

I was wondering if anyone knows how to simulate the sound of a vinyl record winding down (or being stopped with your hand)? I'm using Cubase SX and I would like to apply it to the end of a guitar track. Thanks

Is there "vary-speed" in the software?

You could just reach in a stop the hard drive from spinning.

I have a plug for ProTools called Vari-Fi that does this. Prior to that I just farmed the work out to a 2-track machine...but there's probably a similar VST plug out there.

Can you time & pitch stretch the slowdown to get there?

Or you could always try to dub it from tape or an actual record slowing down.

Ok. I found a plugin after some serious searching. It's called "Tape Stop" and it worked perfectly. Thanks. :)

Do you have another link to this plug?

Post by Bill @ Irie Lab » Tue Jan 31, 2006 6:45 am

I've got a demo started and the inspiration left me, left me cold without an ending - the sound of a tape deck being shut down might be the ending I'm looking for (musically and artistically).

Googlizing yielded: http://hem.bredband.net/b125831/files/TStop.zip
which seems like a bad link now. Have you another? I'd like to try that sucker.

Thanks

what about recording the sound of a hand slowing down a record and mix it in?

John Jeffers posted the link where I got it from. Take some time to fool around with it and you'll get the results you want. Pretty cool plugin. I noticed that the same site has some other plugs too but I haven't tried them yet.

I usually sample the riff and then assign a 12 or 24-step pitch-bend and ramp down the whammy. Add a surface noise sample for added "realism".

I grabbed "TLs-Saturated_Driver_v1-0" at that same site and inserted it on a drum track, just for jollies.

It works pretty well to vary the preceived timing of the sub-group with a retro sound, cool in other words.

Great tip, I played with tape stop last night - big fun!

I think I'll do a Bass 'n' Drums thing, real 808 synth heavy and put the ol' victrola treatment on it and then 'pull the plug' for an ending.

If anyone would like to check out a cool free toy see below; they seem purpose built to work together to let one "retro out! -
