Needle on a Record effect?

Does anyone have a sound effect of a needle hitting a record. Im looking for that popping and crackling sound you get from vinyl. Ive tried beatport's Dj Tools section but nothings come up so far.

Get vinyl. yey

No, but you know what you could do, is ask someone that has vinyl to record it. Simple, easy, and not difficult at all.

you can get this from an effect in ableton...

go to the freesound project

http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/

search "needle vinyl"

Thanks guys, will chekc that site out.

If I'm not mistaking, Cool Edit Pro 2 has that effect. I'm pretty sure other decent software (like Acid) & wave editors have that effect as well

if you wanna sound like a vinyl dj, then fuckin use vinyl!

It's odd, but a crowd seems to react better to a record when there is that "needle" sound in the record. A fellow local DJ was telling me that he's been adding the "needle on the record" sound onto some of his CD songs to give the illusion that he's playing a vinyl and not a CD.

It seems like some dancers have this mind set that if the DJ is spinning with vinyl, that the DJ "knows what he's doing", even though we could be very competent on CDJs/laptops/whatever. I could see where this sound comes in handy on dance floors that are used to DJs spinning exclusively vinyl.

PS If anyone is still having a hard time finding this sound, I can do a quick recording and up it here...

When would the crowd hear the needle dropping on the record?

If you're mixing, the needle will already be on the record before the track becomes audible.

if you have a program called stylus there is a whole section of vinyl sounds. some guys in the production forum have it....i do to but i'm too lazy to record all the sounds

It's not the "dropping" sound that people are looking for so much as for the "pop" and "crackle" that is made when a vinyl is played.

never thought of that...
might be true

but when the music is playing.... i doubt anyone can even hear a pop or crackle. and laypeople probably wouldnt even know what the pop or crackle was....

but when needle drop is a diff story..

When you get a quiet bit in the middle of a track, like on my vinyl copy of Carte Blance, the pop and crackle sort of adds an extra element of atmosphere to the sound. So you can hear it in the middle of tracks, but they have to be quiet bits.
