Winner chicken dinner!
I've been listening to this new station that plays 70's and 80's stuff and I hear all these sweet effects/mixing techniques etc and I have no idea how they get some of these sounds. I'm thinking stuff like Steve Miller, the vocals from the chorus of Kansas' "Carry on a wayward son", the weird effect the keyboard has in the middle keyboard solo part of Camel's "wait", Foghat "Slowride" vocals, etc.....
I'm going to be joining a classic rock type band soon and it would be cool to know just in general some of the techniques they were using back then cause I haven't really been able to replicate those type of sounds AT ALL.....but I don't even really know where to start. I'm not asking for anything EXACT, i realize without the exact equipment and those super talented vocalists i'm not going to get the same sound but some general guidelines steering me towards that kind of sound would be cool. This could turn into a cool discussion.
