Music Spotlight: Steve Levine on The Beach Boys 40th Anniversary Remaster

Headline Audio had the pleasure of catching up with Steve Levine at his studio to talk legacy, technology, and the art of bringing classic recordings into the present day.

To mark the 40th anniversary of The Beach Boys album, Steve shares his experience of revisiting and remastering the mixes. It is a process that has been – in his words – happy, sad, and really interesting.

An essential element of that journey is the Harrison Audio 32Classic MixStrip, a modern incarnation of the equipment Steve originally worked with over four decades ago.

In this Music Spotlight, he reflects on how classic analogue design continues to shape contemporary production, and why younger producers can now access the tools that defined an era, which have been re-imagined for today’s workflows.
