In this video I discuss three different ways in which I go about getting 80s inspired drum sounds in my home studio:

1. Gated Ambience
2. Gated Reverb
3. The 80s "Studio" Sound

As always, I'm not trying to literally recreate exact sounds using exact processes eg. the 80s recording process, signal chain, era appropriate clothing, etc ... just merely getting inspired by those sounds and finding my own way of doing it in a modern musical context and environment, AND hopefully inspire YOU to do the same!
