It's funny isn't it, you hear all these wonderful pieces of music and sometimes wonder how on earth someone created them but always come back to the foundations like these doesn't it? This is what a proper tutorial looks like, concentrating on the foundations. Top stuff mate, top stuff 👍👍

My current goal is to show more of how all the pieces are put together, not just isolated techniques. Definitely going back to the fundamentals and focusing on the simple things is a huge part of it. Thanks for watching mate!

@@SynthwaveDojo OMG you responded! I'd love to be under your leadership, I can't wait to show you what I made with what you taught me. I'll admit I got frustrated with my ability and doubted myself. But with your guidance I feel like I can be a great song producer! I am eager to learn from you. You made me happy with the subtle jokes and tiny tid-bits you taught. I'll be forever grateful with the lessons. Please keep it up- what you're doing, it reminds me of my dream to be a song maker/producer. Do you know about the genre 'Hyperpop'? Cuz' I'd love to learn more, I'm hoping to make a song for my sister! 😁

I'm only on 23:21 and following along, and this is awesome! Not the same setup, but similar vibes. Using Reason 12 and the Synthwave Dojo-supplied drums, my recipe was: Bass: Reason Europa rack extension/VST ("BA Deep Dive EX" patch from eXode "New Retro Europa" refill) Added a sub bass with long notes: TAL U-NO-LX-V2 VST ("BASS Slab" patch from Oblivion Sound Lab's "Night City" pack) SonicBits IO Pump rack extension effect for making the bass groove. Tried a few presets I found on the TAL and Europa, and feels like enough to complete a full track with. I was adding way too many synths and drum layers in the past, and this video helped me learn that. What I've done by following this video is way better that anything I've done with similar synthwave tutorials, whether written or video or a full course. Thank you for your amazing talent and work @SynthwaveDojo. Your tutorials and listening to White Bat Audio on here has kept me inspired to actually complete the first song of my first EP after years being a remixer that was fumbling around just for fun, but rarely achieving anything that I was truly proud of. Your teaching style has really clicked with me, and I can't thank you enough!
