The lead solo really put the cherry on top of the cake! :)
Thank you! Yeah, I love those 80’s glide solos!
Love your videos - straight to the point with no unnecessary filler. Subscribed and thank you!
Thanks so much!!
you clearly deserve so many more views. shows almost completely refined dextrity between sound design and, its harmonic interaction.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that.
Love the simplicity and effectiveness of your videos. And it leaves enough room for my own interpretation. Inspiring! Keep 'em coming!
Glad you like them! Thanks so much!
Night Drive Synthwave... tis now a genre. And I agree, if it sounds good then who cares. Great tips in this vid too!
I get caught up in genres too often and it stops me from making music I like sometimes. It’s a bad trap. And thank you! 🙂
Nice one thanks
Hello. For the umpteenth time, I sit down to write this or that beat in this or that genre, and on this day you have a video coming out on the topic of this style. It blows my mind)
Guess we’re just on the same wavelength! Thanks for watching 🙂
Always nice watching how these songs get built up. thanks

Welcome back K. I love your choice of videos. Faded Memory is my favorite Synthwave track. Your backing track has stage presence for sure. Thank you for the tutorials
Thanks so much! I’ll have to check that track out.
Yes, clear, concise tutorial. Song is cool too.
Thanks so much!
Great video, keeps things simple for my simple mind.
I enjoy simplicity, too 🙂
Love u K.
Girl, u are sick!!! great tutorial
Thank youuu!
I just stumbled upon this video. I really love the synth melody you played in the last few seconds that was awesome!
Hey thank you so much! Really appreciate that 🙂
Omg, I've only discovered your channel today, and I'm surprised by your good taste and a simplicity of it.
I definitely like your style and will stay with you, because I lack those clean and simple view on the music.
I'm always overcomplicating the process of producing, and because of it I loose a lot of fun.
Watching how you are making music - it's like a breath of an fresh air for me!
That’s awesome! Thanks so much for sharing that. I definitely try to keep it simple and agree that it can make it a little more fun when I’m not overcomplicating things!
I love how you include little tips about ableton too. Like how copying an audio effect also copies the automation. I've been using ableton for awhile and had no idea. These videos are amazing, thank you!
I’m so glad the videos have been helpful! Thanks so much for checking them out!
hi K. , great lesson! It's a very interesting genre.I would really like more lessons on synthwave
Thanks so much! I have one other Synthwave video here and planning more in the future 😁

Banger
Thanks! All of the synthwave bangers you throw out on here inspired me.
@@khartbeats easy now you'll make me blush
Amazing. The way you teach, resonate with me so much and I love your videos. Subscribed and wish I could subscribe to your channel twice 😊
That’s awesome. Thank you so much! Happy the videos are helpful!
This is my vibe 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
Its very impressive how you make your synth sounds from scratch, that is so awesome and something I really want to get better at. Thank you for sharing your process its a huge help!
Thanks so much! I’m glad the videos are helpful 🙂 creating synth sounds can be quite a process. A lot of experimenting, for sure.
Yaaaay! You survived, congrats and welcome back!
It was tough, but I survived to make another tutorial 😂 happy to be back, thank you!
Superb style. So quick to the point and such high quality. Realllllly like your vids, mate
Thank you so much! 🙂
@@khartbeats no dude thank YOU. I made my first Synthwave track today because of this tutorial and I have been grinning from ear to ear all afternoon, as your tuition helped me to understand things that seemed so alien and out of reach for me. I am massively, massively grateful 🙏🏽
@@OceanMoonJack that’s awesome! So happy this was helpful!
Greetings from Ireland 👍 I was today years old when I learned about the dropping of the wavs into Wavetable. Dear Lord that bass sounds badass. I try to make techno myself but I'm sure I'll pick up some great tips.
Yeah, I was excited when I learned that Wavetable trick, too. Thanks so much!
Welcome back K :)
Thank you 😊 I’m glad to be back.
I love this video. Spent the weekend creating my own tracks using these techniques. Please make some more synthwave / chillwave videos :)
That’s awesome! I’ll definitely be doing more synthwave and chillwave stuff 🙂
@@khartbeats You are my hero 🙂
Randomly popped up on my home page and im glad. You should have way more subs, and you will.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
Forgot about wavetable! My packs too. I re-established Live with all my external files again. Thanks for reminding me to do all that!
Nice! Lots of good stuff in there!
This is awesome!! Particularly liked what you did with the arp! Just arpeggiating basic triads can get a bit repetitive after a while! I thought what you did sounded a lot more interesting!
Thank you so much! Totally agree that arps can get repetitive quickly without a little extra effort!
I'm a total noob, but I've learned a lot of new things, especially EQ and Auto Filter will be extremely helpful! Also thanks for calling out the key combos! :D
Glad this stuff is helpful. Thanks so much!
Truly amazing, thanks for sharing your knowledge. How did you learn to synthesize in Wavetable? . Greetings
Thanks so much! I spent a lot of time watching synthesis tutorials and then just messing around on my own. Just creating random sounds is great for learning.
👏👏👏
Welcome back hope you are feeling better by now. Doesn’t matter that it’s not a proper genre.. this is how genres begin. Happy Xmas eve. Also is pigments worth the 200$ price tag?
Hey, thanks! I'm doing better and happy Xmas eve to you, too. I'd say Pigments is worth it if you enjoy sound design...it's insanely powerful and you can mix multiple wavetables with samples and a granulator engine. If you mainly just use the presets, I'd say probably not.
Can you please make a video on the intro of this video...
It is so calm, chillout and beautiful..
And so amazing to hear you are feeling better after what ever you were going through.
Thank you 😊 I don’t think I have the project file for that one anymore…a lot of my files got deleted by accident a while ago. I can see about recreating something similar in a future video.
@@khartbeats Looking forward to your another amazing composition then :)
Hi - wanted to ask how are you liking the Push3 for producing in the studio? Cool track!
Awesome tutorial! - Just one question. What instrument/patch are you using for the synth chords @3:27? - You mention what the other elements are, but I don't think you said what this synth is. Thank you for your content. Nice and easy to follow along with, and learn!
Hey, thanks so much! I’m pretty sure it’s the Home Alone keys preset from the pack I mentioned. It’s very similar to an electric piano. Glad the video was useful!
lead kinda goes crazy
Всегда поставлю лайк девушке. Побольше бы таких сознательных гражданочек. А то заполонили интернет одни попы и губы надутые. God bless you, dear!
Hello K.Hart.really enjoyed this tutorial.Which software do you use , any pc requirements needed? Grts from a Belgium Synthwave lover .😎🌇🎹🚘
Hey, thanks so much! I use Ableton Live.
Here’s a link to their website that lists pc requirements and such
help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001663530-Live-Minimum-System-Requirements
Can anyone with Ableton download & use those Oblivion Sound Lab presets/banks? Where do you get them, and are they easy to install/load in Ableton? Great video!
No, unfortunately it costs money. I got it on sale so it wasn’t too much, but it’s a great sound bank for Arturia’s analog lab. If you google Oblivion Sound Lab you’ll find them. Thanks so much for checking out the video!
Just bought an Arturia Midi recently and it pushed me straight into Ableton Lite. Any suggestions?
Gonna be watching your videos frequently.
I started close to the same…I bought a midi keyboard that came with Live Lite. Just take the time to learn the interface and when/if you feel limited by it, consider upgrading to Standard or Suite. It has everything you need to make most of the music you want to make 🙂
@@khartbeats I've been using it 6 months. But now I know im ready to switch to standard because I'm very limited in creativity.
I barely know what the Wavetable is, let alone know how to access it or create one.
@@joshpinhoI think Wavetable is only in Suite. I’d suggest maybe downloading a synth plugin like Serum (paid) or Vital (free) if you don’t have Wavetable. They can do much of the same thing, just a different interface.
Thanks, this is really useful! What preset do you use for the chords? I liked the one you used, but I could not find it when I browsed through Analog Lab V (I found some electric pianos that came close, though...)
Thanks! They’re all from the synthwave preset pack I mentioned. I think the one I used for the chords is called Home Alone keys. An electric piano would probably sound similar with a little bit of tweaking.
@@khartbeats Thanks! Found it and installed it... the soundbank is called Photon if anyone else is looking!
can you explain the hotkeys youre pressing to like add the drums and hear the note as youre adjusting it in the wave mixer thing
For this one I just loaded some one shot samples into a drum rack for the kick and snare and just played them in using the corresponding note on my midi keyboard. You can also pencil the midi in using the piano roll…there is a little picture of some headphones near the top left of the piano roll you can press so you can hear the sample when you’re placing it.
Great video, thank you! Can't find the amp in ableton 11 lite. Is it stock?
Thanks so much! Amp is stock, but I think it’s only in standard and suite, unfortunately.
@@khartbeats thanks for the fast reply. do you have any videos that explain the thought process behind the EQ adjustments you're making? I can see what you are doing, interested to learn my about the why.
@@andrewbardusk4861 sure thing! I'm planning on doing a mixing video, but most times I'm using EQ to clean up low frequencies that will interfere with bass. And in this one I also ducked one frequency that was very resonant in the synth chords.
what piano / synth are u using for the chords ? i still dont have a decent sounding piano preset
It's the Home Alone keys preset from the Photon sound bank for Analog Lab. It's by Oblivion Sound Lab.
👏👏👏👏👏👏🇻🇪
i got xlnt packs too
Min 9:45 - "...and we can make this really tight here..." ! - Such a bad Girl ;)
I would like to commend you on your production sound quality, it's second to none. But you need to slow down, you far rush the steps in so many ways beyond this project. I guess this topic and project is far way past your interest. But it's my observation. You could maybe slow the pace of explaining that the steps to import the samples. They are not installed by default. And the way in which the samples are dragged onto the Arrangement View and not the Session View. Although that is plain to see in the video you have provided, but not to a novice. These are just a few issues i have with this tutorial. Your rushed Controlled keyboard steps are hard to follow rushed., i cant understand them or hear you. Ctrl + Shift What?.. I know you are giving a free tutorial, but some are paying. Have you thought about text on screen giving a flow of your audio and direction.. At least if your not being followed audio wise they could read it.. Blind people that cant hear, they can follow you. lol a joke for you..
Thanks for the feedback. I’ve found for this platform (TH-cam), videos between 12-15 minutes do best. I do my best to fit making an entire song into this very small timeframe, which is not always easy and a lot of the smaller details do get cut sometimes. Other than a very few generous souls who have given me a super thanks, I do these tutorials for free and can’t afford to devote all of my time to them, unfortunately.
@khartbeats fair point. But to your credit, you have some very good information in your videos. I would like to see if you could do some in the FM Attack style. I have rewritten the track My Life, took some doing. Can't sing, so play lead synth.
Always nice watching how these songs get built up. thanks
