I'm not sure why I even had it turned up (it was at about 2 o'clock which I'm assuming isn't the default). I thought maybe I had set it like that because it sounded better during my initial tests but there doesn't seem to be any change in the actual quality of the drum sound. In fact you can't hear it at all in the mix... but I know it's there adding unwanted muck. It's turned down now.
 
The effect itself though... wow. What an awesome improvement to my drum sound with next to zero fiddling. Sooooo glad they included it. Thanks, Cake.

Rhythm guitar, too.

Reminds me of the time I couldn't work out where the hiss was coming from until I realized it was the Waves analog plugs I had inserted. Never really understood the point of including the hiss in an analog emulation. Does it add "air" or something? LOL!

Interesting. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks.

I think it's more of an attempt to be as true to the hardware as possible warts and all type thing but fortunately being able to remove those warts. I was a little worried when I started this because that was one wart I did not necessarily want. I could see wanting it there if one wanted to create a low fi feel in a creative sense... which I might on occasion. I don't think this particular hiss has enough impact for that though. Maybe if it was piled onto every channel or something. Some kind of turntable emu would probably be more effective.

That would be the vinyl.sfz in DimPro.

As an effect on existing audio or just to add a layer of noise on it's own track then mixed in? I ask because I don't know really how using synths as effects works but have seen it mentioned. Didn't think DimPro would work that way though.
 
Cheers.

Either way but using DimPro and Rapture as effects does not meaning dropping them in the FX bin but dropping the track into the synth. There are synths which provide a separate FX dll like Z3TA+ classic or process audio directly like Pentagon I.

I see. I have loooooot to learn about synths but these little snippets of what can and cannot be done (and with what) is helping me build a bigger picture of it all. Thanks.

You can use the Sonitus surround panner to do serious warpage and even "scratching"-type processing. However, note that using it in this manner may be illegal in some states.

I dun the same thing Beep!
