I enjoy that.
I'd like to hear examples where you've done this. interesting technique!
kinda late on this one, but here is an example of what i do

Great character in that track. You can also line up your dry recording and your mic'ed recording and mix them parallel or use compression/gating to reveal the mic'ed one thru into the final master... should allow you to control the punch factor.

i'm not sure there's much of a techno scene in Bahrain.

as for Bargain techno, there's plenty of freeware and crack software you can use for no cost at all.

If you listen productions from Mike Dehnert or even from Maurizio you will hear at the beginning a nice breeze noise (i don't know the exact term for this sound like for exemple if you put the monitor too loud without any music or if you don't push on the Dolby NR on an old tape player :lol:)
I'm trying since 2 days too reproduce this feel with Logic and without hardware. Anyone has some tips to give me ?
I have tried it with Microtonic and with a bunch of distortions but it's not that.
are you talking about the actual vinyl crackle or some background noise, like from the beginning of pink floyd's 'welcome to the machine'
No vinyl crackle but yes like Welcome to the machine and exactly like that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH_Z15EEPdI :lol:
That's just equipment noise. Turn up a mixer with nothing connected, amplify 50 dB or so, record, filter to taste.
There's a really great free AU called LFX 1310, the have a vinyl crackle effect that actually sounds pretty good if you filter it and use some reverb along side it. I've been just putting it onto a free audio channel and automating the filter/verb return as I go along. All the other effects that come with it are sh!t though.

I recently just bought a cassette tape deck for the sole purpose of bouncing my 2 track mix out, saturating the sh!t out of the tape for that boomy low end, bringing it back into a DAW low passing what came from the tape and nudging the original high passed track over it in logic. I haven't tried this yet, but in theory it should sound interesting.
