This is a banger. One of my favourite GENRES especially the proper 80s sounding ones and this hits the mark.
Heres a cool trick.
For a more dramatic sax part, turn UP the velocity and down the volume, and drench is in some sexy reverb.
Takes you back to the bleeding gums murphy episode of simpsons :)
So sorry for the late comment. WELL DONE! As I said on the DWTD tutorial, you are both a scholar and a gentlemen. To my friends and my synthwave partner I refer to you as my "MENTOR", and I mean that in every sense of the word. You have single handedly taught me how to make music. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This is just what I needed, and with this video you "killed 2 birds with 1 stone", as you not only showed us how to make amazing synthwave with all free stuff, but you also made a "Timecop1983" sounding track to teach us, and with that POLYSIX setting you used....well that is VERY Timecop1983 sounding indeed. And I requested a " How to Sound Like Timecop1983" video, so 2 requests I made, both crossed off the list! PLEASE keep it up. I eagerly await your next DWTD video...they have a lot of styles as you know all too well. You are the man!
Yours are the best tutorials around on synthwave production. Thanks and bravo!
2 years later and still true.
Thank you so much! love your work. The NRW community needs more ppl like you to break down gatekeeper barriers & spark creativity...
Reaper for the win!
Btw nice video!
One of the best how to synthwave video out there and with all the plugins!!. Thank you so much!! Marvelous sharing!
Zillion thanks !!
I downloaded all your stuff from all your tutorials...now, the long and hard leaning season begins!
Dude you should totally do one in reaper.
DUDE!
I don't think you need to make videos about Reaper.. I'm using Ableton and your tutorials still help me very much, because DAWs are all the same, when it comes to creating music... The basics might be a little different, but there are thousands of tutorials out there for that..
Its true
I'm slowly getting into this as I am an 80's kid! You're videos are so easy to undertsdand and it's always fun to watch and learn! Thank you sir!
That beat was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏
Love your Tutorials Man! Next can you do a tutorial on how you make your complex arps and melodies? I know you did a synthwave sessions on it, but that was just the beginning of the basics, Thanks!
And of course that complex Sax!
Mate this was a fucking quality video. From top to bottom
Thanks for all man you're so good , i really love your music , your music make me feel so high
This is beautiful...Thank you so much !
I'm going to learn all night long ! This is really what i wanted to learn and what i was searching. Your channel is a gold mine for new producers in the synthwave community
your song is beautiful, amazing
just a comment telling you that you are awesome
thanks for sharing this synthwave tutorial
it helped a lot!!!!
thank alot
!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic video. Well done, sir!
Downloaded the pack. Cheers!
dude, thank you very much, from Russia
These videos are so awesome, I had never even heard of some of these plugins!
nice. love that sax!!
vst4free .. is all I can add to this :)
Also. DSK sax is kinda crappy but depending on what notes you're playing it sound pretty damn good with some reverb.
Hi Ste, i'm coming to this very late in the day eh - just looking at this for a new hobby at very little cost. I was there first time around when all this came out - yeah, i am THAT old lol. Thanks for the video, certainly got me interested.
First and foremost dopest and easiest way to do synthwave. Also I was wondering would you everything of doing a listening session with your subs and hear their projects?
Very good!!!! The climax of the song is just perfect! Nice info though! Keep going, my friend. Congrats from Brazil!
I'm getting all of these now! Thanks for this.
You're absolutely brilliant!
9:22 German Engineering lol
Really great video!!
Cheers from germany ;D
This is amazing
Good video. Be careful when you pack up free plugins though, most of them will have EULA's prohibiting redistribution, even though they're free.
thanks m8
FREE !!
AMAZING!!!
Hey man, love the video. Where did you get the Waldorf PG8X preset from? I've done a tonne of hunting and can't find it. I can't copy what's on your screen either as the Envelope stuff isn't visible.
Amazing stuff, Thank you :)
Nice 👌! Ever thought about vaporwave
bloody legend
Awesome Ste. As a beginner producer who's VSTs and plugins are 97% freeware, this is very useful. Which artist will be the subject of your "How To Sound Like #4" tutorial?
maybe Miami nights 84...
Another free DAW that can use VSTs is LMMS, which is VERY similar to FL Studio.
except the quality is 10x worse and its confusing
@@iWalkAlone. soundbridge is better
9 thousand kilo hertz that would make 9 000 000 hz ahah (7:36). Probably not audible, made me laugh. Sry the engineer in me is too strong. Great video still. Thanks
thanks :)
hey Ste you ever tried Aly James Vprom 2 (linn drum emulation and VSDSX. You can also insert EProms the Vprom. He has a buncha 80s synths you should check his stuff out if you havent yet
Do one using Bandlabs Cakewalk (New Full and Free Sonar DAW )
Vintage Drum Elements is missing and I can't find it online, can you upload it too?
You sound like Pyrocynical lol, btw nice tutorial
12:46 For pad
Dat Sax!
I cannot use the vintage drums elements properly. It always crashes
Thanks!
Please, can you do How To Sound Like Scandroid video?
Easy, just own every analog synth ever.
Lol. Easy... but expensive :D
i'm hardware based myself, my goal is to never spend more than 400 on any gear and buying one new item a year, right now i'm usinng an mv-8000 and sh-201
Could you possibly do a start to finish using Traction Waveform free?
Nice, is there any good drum, fills, efx sample packs to buy for synthwave?
Hey man, new to all this, wondering if you still could use these plugins on reaper yeah?
Yes
What is your opinion of the Bionic Supa Delay? I'm using it on several of my tracks for a synthwave style song I'm making for the kvr one synth contest (as I mentioned on another video) for delay and EQ and in my opinion it is decent for those things but I have been having a couple of glitchy issues with it in reaper, like massive CPU spikes when I go to render sometimes, or the filter pre delay causing a horrendous feedback loop which causes the track to go into super ear rape mode lol
Hi from 2021
but... but... I use Reaper.... :'( lmfao
what do you do to the arrangement to make the song longer like 3-5 minutes? do you copy everything from bar 17-109 for example? (assuming this song is only about 2 minutes)
Shame that Vintage Drum Elements is no longer free. Looks like you removed it from the Dropbox pack. I suppose maybe they requested you do so.
Vintage Drum Elements is no longer free, it's being sold as donationware for $1 because the downloads were getting scraped by bots.
You can use "Piano 707", it has samples from the drum machine Roland TR 707 and best thing is it's free! It worked really good to me.
Does anyone know where to get the preset pack for pg-8x used in this video?
I loveit
I suppose the plugins work for FL Studio 10 as well?
Thanks for this very helpful tutorial. With all the synths, presets and effects available, it is not easy to find sounds that will sound good together. This template has been a good starting point for my first synthwave track (both for the instruments and the song arrengement).
I used this template to make a first synthwave song (check it at ruclips.net/video/I-g3v-BV2kE/видео.html). Next step will be to make something more personal...
Can i Use this Pluggins in LMSS Studio?
i loved to know if this is possible
I tried using vsts through Vestige in lmms but even some of the simpler ones didn't work properly--crashes and losing settings. I decided to switch to reaper for that reason.
Hey Buddy - send me a Facebook link please !
Old video by now but Reaper isn't free?
If anything, do it in Renoise (still not free though). :)
Can i have the download for this
This is fkn ill
Have You FLP
"Simps"
Vintage Drum elements is not free but can be purchased for only 1 USD here : www.samplescience.ca/2015/08/vintage-drum-elements.html
Also i would like to thank you so much for this video, :)
So the only video i could find that was about doing it for free was this 5 year old one. And you're using FL studio? That's click bait. There are like a billion videos showing how to use FL studio and I'm talking about the ones that show you how to "synthwave".
Every plugin is free if you know where to look ;)
