So, I would basically like some pointers on how to 'fake' a seventies sound with modern technology. The problem isn't really finding the right tools, it's knowing how to use them to reach my goal.
Emulations of this or that vintage hardware, tape/tube saturation plugins and so on. Obviously I need to make digital recordings and sampled/virtual instruments sound like they're not digital recordings and sampled/virtual instruments, and I know there's a completely daunting amount of plugins out there designed to do this. But when it comes to recording and processing, I have no idea how to get the sound I'm after. Instrument selection is a no-brainer of course. I figured it might be fun to try and recreate a really retro sound, partly for the nostalgic value and partly for educational purposes, as I've never attempted anything like that before.
And by seventies-flavored I don't just mean musically, but in terms of production as well. Think mid seventies Kansas/Genesis/Jethro Tull, or some kind of unholy amalgam thereof. Jamming on my acoustic yesterday, and playing around with NuBiLe and SpinnerLE earlier today, I got really inspired to write and record a higly seventies-flavored progressive rock tune.
