## What is Vinyl Layer?

Keep your music. Add the atmosphere of vinyl.

Vinyl Layer adds a separately generated layer of record texture to music or video already playing on your iPhone.

Play something in Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, or another app, then open Vinyl Layer. Move the tonearm onto the record or tap its center to start the LP sound.

Key features
• Clean LP and Old LP presets
• Detailed controls for crackle, surface noise, pops, clicks, needle texture, and hiss
• Save your own custom texture
• Random stereo placement for a natural sense of space
• Auto-stop timer
• Built-in guide for new users
• No account or subscription required

Vinyl Layer does not record, analyze, intercept, or modify audio from other apps. Every vinyl texture is generated separately on your device and played alongside your existing audio.
