Yacht Rock Under the Hood - Steve Levine on


Bring the legendary sound of Harrison's analog heritage into your DAW with the 32Classic Channel Strip. This comprehensive plugin emulates the iconic Harrison 32Classic console, featuring a musical four-band parametric EQ, famous ultra-wide filters, and a versatile dynamics section with three compression modes. With the addition of a Jensen transformer-modeled "Drive" control for warm harmonic saturation, it provides the same professional workflow and sonic character used on some of the world's most influential records.

The resurgence of Yacht Rock has been all the rage in 2024 with a new HBO dock-umentary and broadcaster/columnist Katie Puckrik’s release of the massive collection "A Yacht Rock Odyssey" from Demon Music Group. In this excerpt from Katie’s interview with legendary record producer Steve Levine—known for his work with Culture Club and The Beach Boys—they explore the sounds of Toto’s iconic yacht rock song "Africa," with some assistance from Cherry Audio’s GX-80 synthesizer. "Thankfully, these days software pioneers have made recreations." Catch the full interview in the comments!
