    Step 1: Have a synth.
    Step 2: Have a dungeon.

    Okay now I need to know how to record dungeon synth with minimal talent

    If you want to go even more minimal, get a tracker like Milkytracker (free), the Erang sample packs (also free) and you're good to go. No extra hardware required ;-) Fun fact: Valfar used a tracker (Fasttracker 2) to make the Windir-songs, you can see that in an interview NRK did with him back in the day.

      Wow that's cool! But it seems like milkytracker can't see mp3 files...since this free dungeon pack has mp3 samples...always wanted to figure out how to work with trackers :)))

      I watched the interview! He really used fasttracker! That's amazingly:) I wonder how he recorded his music..maybe he used analog recorders or something...

    I haven't tried Sonatina Orchestra, will have to give it a go. I'm something of a vst hoarder, but for Dungeon Synth I absolutely recommend the free Creepy Piano by Electronik Sound Lab, it does get a bit away from the classic synth'n'rompler sounds but I love it, especially for more ambient stuff like I tend to create. Welcome to Dungeon Synth :-)

    Oh, I've already bought a cheap late '80s Casio keyboard for this purpose... only if I'd seen this video sooner. Although no regrets, it's fun to try out all the oldschool midi tones, there are a lot! Will check the mentioned softwares as well to spice up things a little when I'll finally have the inspiration to write/record something.
    The EP is really nice by the way, keep going on with more dungeon synth stuff! :)

    For that modern, ambient dungeon synth sound, like something out of a ps2 game .
    I highly recommend vst VITAL, it's free, and very but very modifiable, although not so friendly if you don't have knowledge of sound design.

      Black metal with basic rock influences. Although black came from/against death metal, death metal came from thrash, thrash from speed metal and hard rock and hard rock from blues and rock and roll, so technically all that DNA is *IN* Black metal, most of it is distant and faint. So adding pure rock elements creates a hybrid genre. You could think of it as blackened hard rock if approached from the other side.
