Cameo's "Word Up" is as 80s as it gets - gated reverb and LinnDrum included. This time we also take a look behind the scenes and show you exactly which samples, techniques and plugins we used to create these iconic 80s sounds. Of course you won't need the exact samples and plugins we use in the video, the techniques are universally applicable :)
