I'm putting ideas together for a song, and one idea is that I would like it to have a staticky "crackling" sound, as if it was an old degraded recording. I haven't yet figured out how to do this with any of the effects plug-ins I have, although that could just mean that I need to set things a certain way that I haven't stumbled upon yet. But you folks are more experienced than me, maybe you already know the answer - is there a certain effect that will do this? Possibly one that's available as a free VST plug-in? Or, alternately, does it make more sense to just create noise in some fashion on a separate track instead of applying it as an effect to the mix? (if I can I might want to apply it to the vocal track only, which pushes me strongly in the direction of "I want an effect that does this," but I haven't played around with it enough yet to know for sure that this is what I want)
