Tutorial/Workflow Synthwave/Retro 80s in the DAW with old school hardware additions - 1 hour +

[elkanah77]

In this episode of my ongoing series of 80s synthpop / retrowave tutorials/workflow I do a complete breakdown of one of my multitracked songs.
I go through absolutely every aspect of the song in separate parts. Overall sound design, arrangement, lyrics, vocals, drums, synths, bass and guitars.
I show how it is mixed and why I use the plugins that I use and why some sounds blend better with others.

Not my genre but been wanted to watch one of these type of tutorials for this genre in a while for inspiration. I will watch this when I get home. Thanks for posting.

Hi Espen,
thanks for sharing.

Some nice tricks in there:

- Use Clip gain instead of automation
- Hard panning of Reverb
- Extra 5/4 beat
