What are you guys using or recommend for vinyl sim plugins? I have Izotope vinyl but honestly I think it sucks. The "scratch" and "dust" functions are garbage. All I need to do is add some vinyl noise to the background of a track. Not looking to break the bank, not looking for "authenticity" or whatever. Just some warm vinyl noise for occasional sound design.

For what? I've always use Steinberg's built in...thing with the little phonograph horn you can spin until you get the right amount of midrange fucked up. But, I think it's like Izotope's in that it's intentionally extreme...the Abbey Road is the opposite, but honestly--I don't know why you'd want to subtly shift things toward the sound of vinyl. I think if you want this to sound like an old record...Abbey Road's is too subtle for the listening public to think "that sounds like an old record".
edit: the Steinberg is Grungilizer--and they've now removed the little horn UI...shows how often I use it!! ha....

Thanks, I actually forgot that Cubase has that plugin, I'm going to try it out.
I'm not trying to make anything actually "sound like vinyl". But I find noise, static, hum, dirt, grunge, etc to be useful from time to time. I rarely need or want it, but sometimes I want to intentionally fuck up a sound, print it as a sample and use it in my productions.

i sometimes use a SP-303 for that type of thing - have tried the software out there but just prefer the 303 overall.

I like the Airwindows vinyl. Nothing cheesy. Just careful eq points that sound band restricted in the right way.

I agree that Abbey Road Vinyl is on the subtle side, but I actually love it for that reason. It has quickly become my go-to plugin for making things feel more “analog.” It basically does what I wish all tape sims and console emus would do.
If you’re going for an obvious “vinyl effect,” you can actually crank several of its parameters and it’ll sound pretty convincing. But I often find myself using it in combination with other plugins for this task — I like using Izotope for the “year” setting, and then AR for everything else (crackle, noise, wow, flutter, etc.).
I’d also recommend Tape Cassette from Caelum Audio. Sort of limited on its own, but again, useful in combination with others.

I'll use Cranesong Peacock occasionally.
