John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum Archive

Hi all

I've been tasked with the recording of a song and it needs to be mixed in such a way that it will sound like an old vinyl recording from the 40s.

While I'm aware that the musical arrangement, instrumentation, vocal style and lyrics must first be able to reflect the era, how do I approach the mixdown to achieve the sound of an old vinyl?

Any advice is appreciated.

It depends what you mean by old vinyl - what period are you referring to?

Did you check out Izotope's Vinyl plug as suggested over at DVinfo? Probably your best bet... Steve
