Hey! Thanks for watching the video! :) Sorry for mispronouncing "The" all the time, I always struggle with that :D Also I forgot to mention a bpm recommendation for the harder hitting stuff, I recommend something between 100 - 150bpm. If you directly wanna skip and listen to the track, click this here: 12:23
Really late comment here but I absolutely love this game and have a passion for music. I’m attending school to learn theory and take classes for edm. I create music in the Synthwave genre and crave this kind of sound. I appreciate the help and hope to one day perfect this style!
HOTLINE MIAMIA MUSIC IS FOOKING LIT *WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
Wait, are you really working with devolver. Cool. I liked this channel. Where was theese vids when I was seeing logan paul vids on my recommendations tab.
Thank u so much for this video. It really helps a lot. And there is really no other video like that, at least I cant find. I just want u to know that I truly appreciate it
Do you mind if I use some of your music in our videos? These are REALLY good! We'll be sure to give credit where credit is due in our description if you're okay with it.
Good song man! It still sounds a little off of the hotline miami style to me but i think a big part of that is the level music coordination, the music and levels are both so recognizable while playing seeing one with a different track is just weird. Probably the best example of this is bloodline by scattle in the cargo level with pardo, for whatever reason those 2 just go so well together it would be unimaginable without that combo
Thank you so much for this video, Max. I have been looking for good tutorial-type videos for this kind of music for a long time, and actually stumbled upon you through your SoundCloud account. I love the way you tell us in detail about your planning process and tools and then go into the details. I find that your videos are even more educational than actual lessons because you give us all of the information rather than little chunks here and there. Thanks again for your beautiful music and for your heartfelt effort in the community!!
Really enjoyed this video! Can't wait to see more. Thanks a lot. Any other RUclipsrs you could suggest for similar kinds of videos (Music for games, using synths, workflow etc)? That would be very much appreciated.
When you have no Idea on how to use these Programs and learn Keyboard instead. That is what I do xD If you could cover the Artist LAZERPUNK that would be great :)
Great video I can see that you put a lot of work into it and it paid off, (I don't mean to say well done just to get my suggestion in but...) I was thinking that Rachet and Clank would be cool with how David Bergeaud's music for the game evolved over the game releases changing from more of a synthy kind of music using things like the Access Virus B to more orchestral peace as the years progressed. Great video Once again.
Just curious, what's your opinion on Mega Drive? I've been listening to a lot of their music ever since I played Hotline Miami 2, and they really have that Dark Vibe, even compared to the rest of Hotline Miami music.
If you want my opinion I love mega drive. Love their use of drums and sorta grainy synths/ arpeggios. Just gorgeous. This is the type of music I'm tryna make but I'm always ever so slightly off that dark and intriguing vibe.
@@illestvillain1971 I totally agree! I feel like they have a really unique style of dark synth. I've also tried to make some similar music to them, I've gotten really close. I found I was able to create similar sounds through Diva and Vital if that helps. Just curious, what would you say your favorite song or album is from them?
baris karaer I briefly touched upon those ambient chords in the video. For the hard hitting stuff, you could try to experiment with the Phrygian scale and get the flat 2 in there 😊
For the more hard hitting stuff, What scales would you typically use? I dont know much about music theory or anything and im just trying to get an idea of what sort of scales give off certain vibes and what not. Ive been really into this genre and have a very hard time writing the melodies without a designated scale to go by, Thank you.
First time i sawed this game 1 year ago : Eh shit i only need it for Jacket mask in Payday 2 buy but wont play After even tried it : Woow gotta speedrun it :D
Do you think you could give me a shopping list of things I'll need to produce this music? I've made some basic vaporwave on fl studio but is love to try making some hotline Miami beats
Sure! You really just need a decent synth (I recommend Serum or Massive because both of them are very versatile and they got built in Reverbs, Delays etc.), but you could also do these things in native FL synths like harmless or harmor. You can really make any kind of music, with any kind of daw without buying new stuff, but you need to really learn and play around with the native plugins. But if you really want to get new stuff, here's a short list: Serum/Massive (as your main synth - you can even get synthwave presets, if you are new to synthesis, but I encourage you to learn it.) Drum Machine Samples (tr-707, tr-808, Linndrum etc. - you can download these for free) And if you have some extra money, I'd get a good reverb like Vallhalla Vintage Verb, but fruity reverb 2 would also be more than enough.
Do you do movie soundtracks as well? 'cause if you do i'd like to see you breaking down composers like trent reznors music from movies like gone girl. No idea if that's your kinda thing but yea.
I don't have as much experience with movie scores as with games, but I do make them and I do love them 😄 I'm still not sure how frequent I want to do this type of video on my channel (I don't want people to only know me for analyzing and "copying" music from other people, so there probably will be a focus on documenting my own stuff. But maybe I can find a way to combine both of them - maybe focus more on the way I would approach those soundtracks, but while of course explaining what the orignal composer did). I do love making videos like this. And I love going deep on the creative process of other composers, but like I said, I don't want to be known as only a "theorist". But I will definitely keep Trent Reznors work one Gone Girl in mind (I actually just put his name on my google doc sheet for video ideas 😄). Thanks for your suggestion :)
Maximilian Zantis actually the spyro soundtracks by stewart copeland would be really cool too. He uses some weird samples and i think it would make an interesting video. Sorry for pestering you with this but i just really liked the concept of this series.
Please change the title and thumnail a little bit. "How to" is really confusing It's like a gameplay tutorial not a music tutorial I hope with this step you gain more view
There is no best. Whatever you find best/or have. Most of the DAWS got trial versions, so just try a bunch :) I recommend: FL Studio (this is what I use), Ableton, Reason, Logic X Pro

Are you still working on My Friend Pedro? Did they just commission a single track from you? What happened there, I'm curious
The reverb automation is such an amazing tip! I started to notice how much that is present in the games soundtracks after this video
This deserves more views, and more attention.

Thank you for making this :,)

Yeah, I thought about the chillwave tutorial aswell 😊

Hey, thanks for making a vid bout my alltime favorite game!
Good job btw
noobsa78 Your welcome!
I love the game aswell 😊
I still come back to this video. I listen to your stuff on repeat, would even pay for a course on making music like you. Love from Canada
Thats very kind of you! Maybe in the future I'll do a skillshare class or something
@@RosentwigMusic you'll see me in the front row seats if you do!
Great video.
Am probably the only person that found this helpful

Ja! Ich mache Musik als Rosentwig (und unter meinem normalen Namen)
:)
Nice
Thank you! :)
Great video! I also make Synthwave tracks and definitely picked up some gold nuggets I can implement on my songs. How long have you been making music?
Thank you, Irving! I started around 2 years ago :)
This is awesome thank you so much!!! Any suggestions on which kinds of chords i should use for ambient and the hard techno stuff ?
baris karaer I briefly touched upon those ambient chords in the video.
For the hard hitting stuff, you could try to experiment with the Phrygian scale and get the flat 2 in there 😊
For the more hard hitting stuff, What scales would you typically use?

Ive been really into this genre and have a very hard time writing the melodies without a designated scale to go by, Thank you.
I would mainly focus on minor scales and the phrygian mode.
Especially the first 2 notes in the phrygian scale work great in a bassline
@@RosentwigMusic Alright thank you. Also big thanks for responding to people who comment even if it is like an older video, It helps and means alot.

Hey love your content, instantly subed. Link in desc. for the song at the end of the video is broken, mind uploading it again? :D
Thank you!
And sure! -> soundcloud.com/rosentwigcomposing/maximilian-zantis-stir-fried
Rosentwig Thank you!
What program is this that you used??? Also, what synth do you use?
As my digital audio workstation I use FL Studio.
For this video I mainly used Massive and Serum 😊
1. Steal a Sylenth1 preset
2. Modify it a little bit
3. -Remove any evidence of you copying that preset-
4. Done!
how come you have removed all of the tracks from soundcloud?
What is the song from 0:32?
That's the “hard hitting“ track I make at the end of this video 😊
Please change the title and thumnail a little bit.
"How to" is really confusing
It's like a gameplay tutorial not a music tutorial
I hope with this step you gain more view
what kind of workstation is the best to use?
There is no best. Whatever you find best/or have. Most of the DAWS got trial versions, so just try a bunch :)
I recommend: FL Studio (this is what I use), Ableton, Reason, Logic X Pro
