A Guide to Analog Warmth, Vintage Processing, Saturation & Magnetic Tape | Thomann

Felix did a deep dive into vintage processing and the mysterious and much desired "analog warmth". He compiled everything he could figure out into this 50min guide in an effort to demystify some of the underlying sonic principles that we associate with a warm and organic sound. No matter your budget or wether you are using software or hardware, there should be some valuable information in it for you.
