This September we're revisiting the classics, but this isn't your average nostalgia-fest. We'll teach you key tricks used by production pioneers, recommend the best in-the-box tools, from tape simulations to modern emulations of reverb and compression tools and generally shower you in all the glue, saturation and more your soulless 2023 tracks have been crying out for.
