Many of us enjoy music from the 60's and 70's. You can visit just about any College today and hear songs by Neil Young, Jimmy Hendrix or Pink Floyd. The warmth, engineereing and vintage gear all play a major part in why that music is still popular today. That sound is what we call "Retro". How do we recreate that sound? Well, first you start with vintage gear. Guitars like Fender and Gibson are good starting points. Tube amps, rotary speakers and analoge recording eqiupment also come to mind. The more authentic the gear, the more authentic the sound. Last, we have to look at the engineering of those two decades. Engineering techniques are crucial when creating the "Retro Sound". Simple panning and eq'ing can make all of the difference. Do your research before getting started. Hope to see you soon.
