    I honestly wanna start making synthwave just for myself, I don't even care if anyone else hears it ever, I just love the genre, and the idea of making my own. This might be what gets me interested in learning about music composition for the first time in my life. I hope 30 isn't too late to start!

      Bro, do you have some songs? I am looking for some great synthwave instrumentals. I have tried to make my own, but i don't like the results. But i still have an ambition to write some Synthwave rap album. Maybe you have some demos that i can use? There are a lot of free stuff on youtube, but i can't change the lenght of the track. We can colloborate.

    Instead of automatic the reverb you could use a gate on a reverb send channel. I don't know which is easier in FL. And good job as always, this would fit well with a "cruising in my hovercar" type scene.

    • @JRent506

    The mixing on that one is really well done. I just took a workshop on industrie-level beatmixing for 400 $ and what I hear here is really really close to that. Well done. I also like the vibe of it, even if I'm not really into synthwave.

The popular 80s synths I got to play back in the 80s: Roland Jupiter 8 (8 Voices) - Oberheim OBXa (8 Voices) - PPG Wave 2.2 (8 Voices) - Fairlight CMi (8-16 Voices) - Yamaha DX 7 (16 Voices) - Ensoniq Mirage (8 Voices) - Yamaha CS-80 (8 Voices and one of the first synths I ever played in 1978) Just saying.... otherwise, good video.
