New: Unfiltered Audio Needlepoint @ Plugin Alliance ($49.99 Intro Price)

https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products/unfiltered_audio_needlepoint.html

The authentic sound of vinyl—and beyond

• Unfiltered Audio raises the bar (and lowers the tonearm) with Needlepoint: a revolution in vinyl simulation. Featuring a full platter of advanced physical modeling technology, it offers a deep into the warm, fuzzy sound of turntable noises. Use it subtly for among the most convincing vinyl emulations available, or push the needle far past realism for some seriously warped sounds.

Physical modeling for enhanced realism

• While many vinyl plugins are content to use looping samples of vinyl noise, Needlepoint uses physical modeling to achieve its incredible sounds. It synthesizes all sorts and sizes of detritus and distress on a record: hair, dust mites, scratches, warping, and more. These are not randomly modeled, but rather accurately distributed onto a virtually rotating, algorithmic platter. 

Classic vinyl effects with creative, next-gen controls

• Change the speed of the emulation to alter Needlepoint's tone, going beyond conventional RPMs like 33 1/3, 45, and 78–and even tempo syncing the turntable to your DAW! Use the SPINDOWN button to create classic vinyl stop (and start) sounds. Adjust WOW and FLUTTER, and explore the BROKEN mode to generate unpredictable looping effects and cut-up, glitchy phrases. Or, take advantage of the granular pitch shifter to help you achieve a chopped up vibe without changing the speed of your tracks.

Tone shaping that’s powerful, intuitive, and fun

• Beyond noise, ambience, and vinyl effects, Needlepoint includes other processors to help fully etch out your vibe. Chief among them is a single knob compressor that recreates algorithms from famous hardware samplers associated with vinyl-based beatmaking, and can even mimic the analog distortion introduced by the vinyl pressing process. 

Complex processing that’s easy to control

• Thanks to an interface that’s beautiful to look at and incredibly easy to use—plus an extensive set of handcrafted presets—Needlepoint will help you scratch that nostalgic itch in your productions and add true analog groove to your tracks, whether you need it to be subtle or over-the-top.

I’d tell you a joke about a blunt needle but it’s pointless ? 

sorry… the plug-in name just invites sewing jokes hehe

This is my first time trying out the new September loyalty voucher that replaced my usual $50 or $75 vouchers.  I tried using it for needlepoint and says I can’t because don’t have enough items in cart. Do these new vouchers not work on new releases anymore?

They only work on a subset of items - I found this out 'the hard way' too.

On your voucher email, there's a link with instructions. If you click on that, it'll list the eligible products. Needlepoint isn't one of them; I guess it's too new at the moment, and still on the intro price offer.

Thanks, thats a bummer.  Definitely not an upgrade loyalty voucher wise.  I want to be able to take advantage of intro sales + voucher so I can install and forget to use it.  Is that too much to ask? Hehhe

Oh wow - a $50 vinyl simulator that I can add to my collection of mostly freebies.
(e.g. Vinyl Plugin—Free Lofi Plug-in | iZotope)

Be still my heart lest you burst from my chest.
Just the thought that I might be able to relive my teenage dreams of longing for something better than my old long since junked General Electric Trimline Stereo 500 Vinyl Record Player

give me the shivers and perhaps a cold sweat...

Speaking of nostalgia - for $48.95 I can help you recreate that old west Bar-B-Que flavor that was so highly prized by the old west.
Introducing Buffalo Chips(tm) - made in America. 
Just toss the authentically organic sun died buffalo pie on the coals (or gas burner) of your Bar-B-Que to enjoy that unique smokey flavor of prairie trail gourmet chuck wagon cuisine. 
 
Also introducing Donkey Chips(tm) - now even a novice can make everything taste like @ss.

I won't try this new one until it is dirt cheap but as much as I respect iZotope that very old freebie(upgrade was lipstick on a pig). I never thought that one was worth more than free.
