Subject:how do I "age" or "antique" my audio?

i'm working on a project where I need some songs of mine to sound as if they were recorded very cheaply in the late 70s or early 80s.

if you need an example of what I mean... listen to The Stooges or any number of punk bands around that time.

more specifically.. the songs sound blown out... in the red.. lots of crackles and pops. I know alot about taking those out.. but how do I put them in?? :)

anyone know what I mean? or should I post this on the Acid forum?

thanks!

Also think about using some EQ sparingly on the tracks by taking away some highs and mess with your low and mids to taste.

I own Ozone 3,Spectron,Trash and I swear by them all as well. Highly recommended.

For an extra bit of fun, click on the rivets in the corners of vinyl. It's probably the best easter-egg for a plug-in!
