What is Making This Sound?

Post by milfhuntr » Fri Oct 11, 2013 10:20 pm

What makes the sound like a bad speaker rattle? It is a sound like pennies laying on top of a speaker rattling around or problems with an old cassette machine. But how was it made in this instance?

Bad speaker rattle? Sounds more like Vinyl Distortion (same name Live audio effect) or iZotope Vinyl (free) to my ear.

Two other lines to explore with Live effects:
- Erosion
- Redux (but this definitely NOT on the Master track)

The best result I got was with Erosion and then eliminating the sound of the sub bass with an EQ so that only a trace deterioration sound was left. The problem is that every type of overdrive thickens the sound, including the vinyl drive. This sound is a deteriorated sound like some overdrive on an old cassette left in the dirt.
