specifically for free, are there any plug-ins I could use and instantiate on an insert without too much configuration which would allow me to very intentionally introduce some random cracks, pops, clicks, and crackles within a recording to make it sound like it was recorded on to Ann lp vinyl?

I don’t know of any free ones, but you could always use the vinyl crackle audio from the Pro Sound Effects First library, and loop it to fit the track you are working on. Otherwise, Waves Abbey Road Vinyl goes on sale for $29 often, and it has a lot of control.

Maybe someone else will have an idea on free plugins, but these may be a good alternative if not.

Izotope’s Vinyl is a free plug in.

The only issue is, I may have been given wrong information here, but I
was told that their plugins were not very accessible.

The installer isn’t accessible, and some plugins aren’t clearly labeled, but you can have a customer rep remote in and install, or have sighted assistance. Once installed, their plugins are decently accessible. This one is entirely usable with VO and has individual parameters for hiss, cracks, pops, flutter, distortion, and different combinations of record materials and needle type. It’s pretty well designed and may be worth the $29 and assisted install if you want all the controls.

Wait, I'm totally confused. The Oreo Monster said it was free, now
you're saying it's $20? Um, OK? Uh...


As for getting custom presets made or getting things installed, it
actually, now that I think about it shouldn't be a terribly terribly big
deal. I do have Team Viewer, and I do have Aira, so... yeah...

The Waves one you can get a Waves rep to remote in and install. That’s most likely the paid one Michael was referring to. The Izotope installer isn’t accessible but the plug in itself should be. Izotope unlike waves won’t remote in to install for you so you will probably have to use AIRA if you don’t have a sighted family member or friend near by.

Yup, my b, Waves is what I was describing. With Izotope, once the product manager is installed With sighted help, it’s accessible to install any plugins. The UI is kinda like AvidLink.
