How do you make your music sound like it truly came from the 1980s? In this video, I answer that question from a viewer using actual science. I analyze an original multi-track from the 80s, conduct machine timing experiments, and make a discovery that holds the key to achieving the authentic 80s sound. In my opinion, if you follow this one approach, you can’t help but sound like the 80s. And conversely, if you don’t, no amount of retro gear will help.
