Vinyl Strip
Modular Channel Strip
Retro Effects
Vinyl Strip is a multi-effect plugin featuring 6 modules: Distortion, Compressor, Bit Crusher, Tilt EQ, Vintage Reverb, and Vinylizer. The modules can be arranged in any combination by simple drag-n-drop. Vinyl Strip will add life and an old school touch to your samples and tracks, and achieve that classic vinyl record sound in your digital environment. The plugin is optimised to be lightweight on the CPU.
Vinyl Strip is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP).
It’s also available on the App Store for iOS and iPadOS (AUv3 and Standalone).

6 Modules
Much more than just a vinyl emulator, Vinyl Strip features 6 modules dedicated to recreating that classic vintage/old school sound of vinyl recording and sampling.
- Distortion, chooses which kind of harmonics you want to generate
- Compressor, easy to get a softer or harder sound
- Sampler, recreates the sound quality of early samplers
- Tilt EQ, balances the sound like an old hi-fi system
- Reverb, adds a warm vintage space to your sounds
- Vinyl, emulates the dust, noise, warp, and response of vinyl
Drag and Drop
You can customize your channel strip with a simple drag-and-drop.
By default, all modules (except the Master module) can be moved and re-arranged to create different signal flows.
For example, you can decide to add the compressor module after the Vinyl emulation, or vice versa.
Reviews

“Vinyl Strip is one of the most interesting, versatile ‘vintagiser’ plugins we’ve used. Ideal for treating individual channels and processing whole loops/groups. It does exactly what it sets out to – 9/10”
“Great sound, feature-rich, easy to operate and low demand on computer resources…results are always musical and appealing – 5.5/6”
