A previous posting here describes how to simulate a 78 RPM record playing for theatrical purposes. This procedure and preset accomplishes the same end but for 33.3 and 45 RPM records. The preset and setup is different than the 78 RPM situation because the speed needs to be different and also the characteristics of clicks made by these media are different. To simulate these, use the following procedures in conjunction with the Live / Forensics version of the Diamond Cut software. If you do not have a copy of that version, you can download a demo version and create the noise file. Then, by cancatanating 30 second segments together, you can create the desired length special effect noise file for your purposes.
1. Create a Makes Waves file of Random Noise, - 10 dB, 16 bits, 44.1 KHz, Mono, {27 seconds long (which represents 15 revolutions of a 33 RPM record)} - - - {60 seconds long (which represents 45 revolutions of a 45 RPM record)}. (The idea here is to use even multiples of revolutions of the record simulation so that the cancatanation of these files will sound correct - - - ie. without discontinuities)
2. Copy that file to the clipboard
3. Create a Makes Waves file of Sine waves, 0.55 Hz (for 33's), -30 dB, 16 bits, 44.1 KHz, Mono, 30 seconds long. (Use 0.75 Hz for 45's)
4. Paste Mix this file to the one on your clipboard.
5. Download the attached Preset which should end up in the Multifilter folder by using the manage presets function.
6. Run that filter preset on the file that you had just created.
The resultant file, (or cancatanated groups of files) when added to music, will give you an excellent simulation of 33 or 45 RPM record clicking & crackle.
Note: Unlike the 78 RPM situation, there is generally no reason for further signal processing to make the recording sound like a 33 or 45 since the bandwidth of these recordings is similar to that of modern digital recordings.
