Dude! Yo! I was watching your Porter Robinson video and was wondering where you got the "weeb bass"
OOO gurl, you nasty.
Composerily yass
Jim Morrison killed it with that prediction.
Which are you referring to?

Holy shit...Ive always liked The Doors but that was insanely prophetic.
i heard that as a sample in Breakin’ a Sweat
@@michaelangello1327 I got a grin out of that because of Ray Manzark and Robbie Krieger both being on that track.
My thoughts after watching this: "I can make something like this"
My thoughts after just opening the program: "Nope, nevermind."
lmao bless bro, I love your vids
@@PraxiPlays haha really? Thanks man!
Yep, it's not that easy as it seems. Some of my attempts to make a good track failed too. But for this one I was able to make a great sounding track with same chord progression actually. It's interesting how different producers go different directions having started with same chords. Please check it out: th-cam.com/video/mfnb_b2LiqU/w-d-xo.html
João Santana I don’t know, cause my version I did completely from scratch and not in FL
I can do this quite easily; however there is a catch: I need a lot of amphetamines to assist me. 🎹💊🚀🤔
Step 1: Draw a circle
Step 2: Add shadows
Step 3: Done! Now you have the sistine chapel
This is one of the greatest comments I've ever seen
Cap
the sistine chapel is too much of an exaggeration of synthwave
Makes me realize I'm trying to make music with Crayons right now.
I re-created this to be a full 3-minute track using the same/similar sounds with my own structure change. It got me going in synthwave and now I have over half a dozen releases on streaming platforms all thanks to randomly watching this video in late 2019.
Where can i find your music?
@@FarzanAhsanIT- th-cam.com/channels/ZYRHddwfcjUQc2d8gzaHKQ.htmlvideos
Im in the same spot just finding this in 2022. I hope your still making synthwave
@@kiddjubbz im boutta start to, cant wait to make my first one, probably gonna take me couple of months to get used to the program and plugins etc
Amazing
''Seems simple enough...''
*Actually tries*
''What in the actual hell is happening and how do i do anything''
I feel you bro
Just a little bit of practice and it'll happen
@@topisukuvaara9798 "a little" lol
Your profile picture matches the comment so well
jus keep goin bro

My man still has the search bar, coetana, and task view buttons turned on 😭
@@dontwaste111 everyone does
NPCmajor bruh who doesn’t
@@puggers460 yea i turn that off
guys whatever you do **DO NOT LISTEN TO THE FINAL RESULT WHILE DRIVING** my car turned into a Delorean and I’m stuck in 1980 Miami
nice tut
🙏🙏
mhm
@@PraxiPlays please publish to spotify so i can add it to my favorites
@@reddeck1906 please make your reply related to the actual comment
Now this is a good TH-cam recommendation

Слава Украине!
*now that's podracing*
at least YT didn't totally fuck recommendations up.
Fast forward a year, and I'm still waiting for your synthwave album.
Same

still no album!? it'll be badass when it finally drops
Top comment for a year. Congrats
You cant tell me, that synthwave is the most epicly relaxing genre ever discovered. You would be living under a rock under a staple that holds you to your emotions, drifting into darkness.
I love the sound of the 1980's. Synthwave is awesome. And 80s type sounds work great in other electronic music genres.
Synthwave is the most beautiful, phenomenal, captivating sound in the universe.
Especially when it has that Lamborghini Diablo or another car
I agree wholeheartedly!!!
@@dougiehawhaw3100 its going to be soo saturated its not even good anymore
@@dougiehawhaw3100 only a matter of time until a lil pump version appears.
David Gilmour would like to have a say. xD

😂 LoL. That's really cool. Easter Egg
@TauanStarG "Hahahaha. Really looks like it" he said
Weird, I thought it was a swimming platypus.
@@Ghostii_ Thx, I was wondering!
@TauanStarG kkkk neh mano
I know I'm late but I just want to say how much I love your videos and how you don't add unnecessary stuff to make it 10+ minutes and get straight to the point. Great work man
This is so great. It took me about 40 minutes to finish what's in the video. I know just barely enough to be able to follow along, and I'm super happy with the results. Definitely going to keep playing around with it and make something a bit more unique. Thanks for a fantastic tutorial!

FInding this over 3 years later, still enjoying every moment, thank you!
Rydeen from YMO playing at the background was wonderful ❤
That racing game he showed is called _Distance_ in case anybody was curious. It's available on Steam for $20.
Thank you my friend
tanks boy
Thank you
Dude, thanks!
Bloody good game too, especially in VR.
It has an older version that's free too, Nitronic Rush.
I want to marry this song, dude
This video gives me so much nostalgia, first video I watched after getting Ableton lite cut to 4 years later I'm just coming back to relive my first experience with producing
That second melody is so beautiful!
Im hyped for cyberpunk 2077
Edit: this aged like milk
bruh it looks so good, cant wait to play it
Me too!!!!!
Same! And I can't wait to play it either
Sean Barry I'm so glad someone plugged cyberpunk 2077
They just dropped some demo gameplay footage ! The hype is real!
Fuck this is good. If you released an album of just this style, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's fantastic driving music.
This is probably my favorite genre of music at the moment. Great work dude
This makes me feel nostalgic to my childhood even though I only discovered synthwave a few weeks ago, crazy how this music makes me feel
you will surely fell same for this

Who is this man? And more importantly, is it possible to learn this power?
not from a jedi
Not from a mainstream musician...
Wubsaurus only a sith deals in absolutes
ironic.
IceDragon978 "HOW TO synthwave | flstudio TUTORIAL"
I fell in love with this sound from hotline Miami’s soundtrack. I appreciate this video. I always wanted to create my own synthwave since I heard it.
My intro was the "Journeys" album by Timecop1983. Recommended. :)
hotline miamis ost is lit
I love this!
I re-created this with no knowledge about music programming, and 2 days later I have it!
I've learned so much, thank you!
I saw this video for some help for making a track and now the melody is stuck in my head.... Nice Job and Damn You Praxi for making one of the most catchy melodies of all time.
imma keep it reel wichu chief
genre vids are better than rapper vids
both are dope though!
Game at 1:25 is called Distance, available on Steam (PC), in case anyone was wondering.
It's also my most favorite racing game... that's somehow still in development
What a classy video. Even gives the genre background
Holy smoke dude. Been looking for something like this forever. Thank you.
Synthwave is always beautiful
1983 - in 2005 there will be flying cars
2005 - in 2012 the world will end
2012 - in 2018 there will be flying cars
2018 - in 2050 we will travel through Space
Remember y2k
@42on in 2051, we can still travel through this short space of time... i guess
2552****
in 2019 - there's 90000 genders
In 2520 we will have colonized our Solar System.
This has helped me in a dark time where I could not find any Synthwave tutorials. Thank you, kind sir.
Thank you I can’t find enough of these videos
a e s t h e t i c
This could definitely be in the soundtrack for Thor Ragnarok
Halo Gamer the grandmasters land is pretty vapor wave ;)
Great tutorial man!!! Looking forward for some more Synthwave stuff here!!!
Finally a synthwave tutorial by someone who knows what he's doing and actually *explains* it. Never thought it would take 5+ videos to get there. Thank you!
It helps with the inbuilt plugins. At least you don't have to spend tons of money to make synthwave.
Praxi always has the best content. I've recommended your channel to all my friends into music. Good job on this project man.
But... but where’s the Lamborghini Countach or Ferrari Testarossa? You _know_ it’s not a true synthwave song without that 80’s supercar right?
and palm trees
@Jeremiah Bullfrog AND THE EIGHT SIX!!!
@Jeremiah Bullfrog lancia Montecarlo
And the vector car
@@vio2326 what about the Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
Woah!!!, that's just sooooo Amazing! That slide in the first melody, just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice touch throwing in that footage with Jim Morrison.
You really done one on this one bro
This was spot on 👌🏼 this is perfect because GUNSHIP just dropped a new track today 😍 Synthwave heaven 🖤
!!!!!!!! So pumped!!!!!!!
GUNSHIP is god tier
What a best recommendation of YT, I will wait for your retrowave playlist/album/compilation
This is actually amazing. I made something roughly following your tutorial and it sounds great! Thanks!
some cool synthwave VSTs I use are Ob-xd, PG-8X, Dexed, MinimogueVA, SQ8L and Prophanity. They're free, sound decent yet maybe not exact emulations of the original synthesizers, unfortunately.
I use those those same exact one's as well plus many more.
PG8X is wonderful. It doesn't sound *exactly* like the JX8P, but it's close enough, and it's like having a JX-8P with the PG-800. Another good one to throw in the mix is TAL Bassline 101 and U-NO-LX. Both have free and paid versions. TAL also has the U-NO Chorus as a standalone plug-in. I use it on a lot of stuff. I'm not a fan of MinimogueVA, the filters don't have the Moog thing imo.
Also, toss in Synth1 because it's a free plugin, and even though it's styled like a Nord Lead which came later, it has Unison that sounds wonderful.
My one big beef with OB-XD is there's no Host Sync for the LFO.
Really enjoyed the fact that you've done a video on this genre of music
Quick and to the point, not some long ramble. Good stuff!
your music embody the synthwave in the most epic way, it's delightful
what can't praxi make. this track is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Makes me feel like I’m dodging cops in the 80s 🏎💨🚓
LOVE the final product! 👌👌👌👌
That was really cool- Ive been really digging Caspro as of late. You really nailed it
Nostalgia hit me alot of times. I also found an old 4GB hard drive, and when I connected it to my old computer, IT WAS MY DAD'S OLD W98 DISK!!!
My old Amiga hard drive was 20 meg.
Bro you are the most versatile boi... Can't wait to see where you're at in a couple of years.
i love this man, i like your work, keep this up
I love that ambient sound.
This makes me want Far Cry: Blood Dragon 2
To date my favorite expansion to any game.
If I'm not wrong, the soundtrack is made by Power Glove, and you can find it on his spotify page. I really love it.
Wait 2?? When did it come out?
blood dragon 2??/ when did it come out
@@anonymousblank he is saying he wants a sequel
That editing is pretty sick, keep up the good work dawg it's getting doper with each upload
dude this one of the first tutorials i've ever watched on producing lol. been makin music for 3-4 years now, and ironically i still havent made synthwave 😭
why am i decovering this NOW this is beautifuuul
I like how you went through the entire process of making this ᴀᴇsᴛʜᴇᴛɪᴄ beat. Thanks for taking time to do this, man. I love the end result
i'm so happy i was able to find a quick straight to the point serious tutorial on this genre thank you man
ily mann, been lookin for the bass thingy
Very nice! i genuinely like that bit of music.. 10/10
This is something that could be in GTA Vice City.
Or Tron
Or "Ready player one"
Dude this could be a blockbuster soundtrack
I still play GTA Vice City every once in a while. Now I do it with retrowave in the background. It's so much better!
Damn, in a few hour trying to figure this out and doing the steps
Accidently created a track
man, this so huge! loved it
i'm a new user of FL studio, and this video jump started my ability to use it DRASTICALLY. Thank you!
You make it look so effortless, great breakdown of one of my favourite genres.
seeing your uploads in my subbox makes me so happy lmao, keep up the good work praxi
ay man:) would you mind checking out my beats? i know this is an annoying comment but i just want an opinion:)
This is wayyy too helpful!! FR! Thanks a huge ton dude!!!
DUDE. I would listen to an album with this on it. Nice work.
great video! the introduction segment provided really informative context
As something who kind of knows how this software works and kind of knows how music theory works, but has no working knowledge of how to put the two together into a song, this is really amazingly helpful! Thank you for making this video, it's just the kind of thing I need for my next steps in learning to make music.
Thanks for tutorial. Sounds amazing. I'm just starting out learning to make electronic music. Just download this DAW, and its so much to take in. Im definitely gonna keep your channel on my subs and looking forward to your future vids.
My god dude, this is literaly BRUTAL and CRAZY!!!
i'm genuinely impressed by the practice put in to make this appear so easy
mind blown. this guy makes like every type of music with ease man, keep it up!
This sounds really good.
This is incredibly helpful. Thanks so much for this very well-designed tutorial!
Honestly this deserves so many more views
Awesome tutorial vids man. Been planning on getting Fl for a while and after seeing all the features I’m hyped to learn.
This taught me so much, mate. This is so awesome. Now I just need to expand on this and get better
Dawg simply put ,
YOU
ARE
AMAZING.
This song got me pregnant and I need child support money.
XD
Jojo Jellycat don’t we all?
Nice try
@@go_djentle what
This is a bangin song dude, I’ve got it on repeat
I actually Tried it and for the first song on Fl Studio it turned out awseome. Thx for sharing your knowledge.
Prax I keep coming back here but the amount of talent you have is insane. We strive to do praxi level shit in FL . Some day hey
That is actually a brilliant piece of synthwave man!
This is absolutely the best thing I've ever heard! I must say that I really like the vibe it gives me. This was also truly helpful! Great work! Keep it up :)
This is so weeknd type. Loved it💯
