Noise, Hiss & Crackle from SampleRadar

Modern digital recording and playback might have eliminated tape hiss, vinyl crackle, and other analog noise, but sometimes you want that special character in your tracks. For example, listen to how sampled (and filtered) vinyl noise adds a gritty character to Burial's signature tune, 'Archangel':

Get an arsenal of analog noise samples for free with MusicRadar's sample pack - featuring 502 different samples of warm hiss, crackle, and other audio blemishes.

As a musician who loves the portability and ease of use of Apple’s Garageband app for IOS, I was blown away by the idea of IK Multimedia’s iRig. “What’s that? It allows me to plug my Guitar directly into my iPad/iPhone AND record straight to the Garageband app using all of it’s built in amp models. In our example, we choose to load Guitar Rig 5 FX. GUITAR RIG 5 FX is now loaded in GarageBand and its window is open for editing. If the GUITAR RIG 5 FX plug-in window is not displayed, click on the Audio FX slot named Guitar Rig in the Inspector once. The GUITAR RIG 5 effect plug-in is now loaded in an Audio FX slot and will affect the output signal of the Audio or Software Instrument track.

And with Live Loops, it makes it easy for anyone to have fun creating music like a DJ. Use Multi-Touch gestures to. Ipad garageband guitar.
