"Bioshock Infinite" Anachronism soundfont by Zetto Kuzuuya at 2:07 PM EDT on October 14, 2017
To those who are curious, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE The bioshock infinite soundtrack, well the anachronisms, the other string based songs are pretty cool, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND ADMIRE the little things like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs7gne5fcoo (we are number one but it's electro swing Like an old cartoon) modern songs being re-done to sound like they are from a different era, now to get straight to the topic at hand....
I am looking for a soundfont or free vst that I can use that will help me do this kind of thing, like Bioshock infinite did, for example Tainted love with it's paino and crackle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBZdwfp4LtQ&index=12&list=PLsJs8eSUgOjFIgwvMK0djgL55RHhNlRzu
can anyone help me out?

You could try using a trick to give a soundfont an old-timey sound. If your DAW has an EQ tool, try taking out the lower frequencies and keep the higher ones. It should sound like what you're looking for. Also, for the crackle, just take an isolated Vinyl sound and play it in the background.

no clue what a DAW or an EQ tool is or how to mess with frequencies, I'm like, the knowledge of this stuff from me from a 1-10 is about a 3, I'm "just starting out" in a sense, and many of these things I don't think my computer can run if their some kinda new program

Programs like FL Studio, Ableton, and Garageband are DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations). Whatever program you use for soundfonts is probably a DAW. I use FL Studio, which has a built-in EQ tool and soundfont player. Your computer will probably be able to handle a DAW, as long as you're only using soundfonts.
Yeah I use FL studio, and I work with soundfonts all the time, though I know nothing of frequencies or how to tweak them, I just know things like pitch and volume, I don't go messing with that stuff anymore, since I tried one time and I ended up having to re-install FL studio because I didn't know how to fix it

Go into the mixer (by clicking the "View Mixer" button), and you should see empty slots. Click on one of them, and you'll get options for things you can add. Under the "Filter" section, you should see "EQ". Add "Fruity Parametric EQ 2" and just mess around with it. You can move the knobs around to get different sounds. (The higher the ones on the left are, the more bass you'll have. For an old-time sound, you'll want to remove the bass by lowering the buttons on the left.)
