I've been trying to create the sound of a badly warped record from a song I've recorded,
I've had no luck with VSTs so far ...Izotope Vinyl , Wow & Flutter & Sonic Spin were all disappointing.
Does any one know a way to do this? A VST or a method?
I have Reaper, Reason Essentials & Komplete, can this effect be created in any of those with the tools available?
Thirty years ago I would have been horrified to find my future self engaged in this ! :)

I'd like to know too.

i don't know about warped record but if you want a good warped tape sound check out the free Guitar Gadgets multi effect and the micro cassette module. Instant Boards of Canada sound.

Try Melda Productions.

http://www.meldaproduction.com/plugins/ ... d=MVibrato

Use the Step Sequencer in there, build up your own custom shape, Smoothness at whatever setting suits you (lower = more glitchy, higher = more wobbly and smooth) drop the rate down to under 1 hertz, depth around 50% to taste.

Absolutely superb plugin and free. If you like it as much as me, buy the bundle.

Sonitex STX-1260 will do that (and a lot of other stuff).

usually I use RIAA by vacuumsound http://www.vacuumsound.de/plugins.html
and Unstable by de la mancha https://delamanchavst.wordpress.com/effects/
and a track of real vinyl noise and crackle sound used as a key input for (soft) sidechaining compression.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I tried them all....Sonitex in conjunction with Unstable gave the best results.
When I say result I mean extreme result, which suited me. I had no luck producing an authentic warped vinyl sound, I couldn't reproduce the cyclical nature of the warp effect.
The Melda Productions suite of VSTs were all rather confusing in their layout, maybe I need to spend more time with the MVibrato.
The Sonitex VST is a very nice piece of gear.
