Vinyl Strip

Modular Channel Strip

Vinyl Strip - Modular Channel Strip Plugin - GUI

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.

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.
