I'm a nerdy weeb programmer guy who really likes space, technology, games, fiction in general and catgirls. Trying to make a game on my own and maybe some synthwave tracks along the way.
I think these are great for starting, but it's mostly about music and not technical things ect. and sadly he didn't make a tutorial for full songs... I struggle the most with arrangements or making complete songs..
Finally I heard the complete Hotline Miami Soundtrack, it's not even that much 80s like. At least not that much than many synthwave music I've known before, but it's really great and creative, I think I like this the most https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37-WR-SyTxs I hope I can make something similar one day.
Oh cool, maybe I have a synthwave producer buddy soon xD
And you need these drums if you want to make synthwave http://www.hexawe.net/mess/200.Drum.Machines/ just click on drum.zip There are most of the retro drum machine samples many artists use. And it's all free. If you want I can make a list with good free synths and effects too...
I think Cakewalk Bandlab is a little better than LMMS but it has an other workflow, but I think it's more advanced than LMMS. It was a former paid DAW, and now it's free.
hmmm maybe I deleted it again by mistake.... I delete most stuff on soundcloud after a few days, and keep only the good stuff xD
And I'm very late xD Yeah I think under pressure was the best too, but some other songs are great too, I think I like Action this day and Back Chat the most... Sadly Queen where a little late with a disco album, if they had made it 2 years earlier, it would be a huge success, I think.
Hmm they sound really good, I must play Hotel Miami... Never played it .-.
Oh, I deleted it by mistake, I think it was https://soundcloud.com/user-384168241/vape-me
I don't really make synthwave.. mostly house or trance but I want to make more synthwave in the future, it's really fun, you just need something like FL Studio and a few synths and effects.
I mostly like the 70s Queen, especially News Of The World... Or the late Albums like Made in Heaven. But I really like Hot Space, too. It just sounds a little different and interesting. What's your favourite song from it? I think mine is Back Chat. Hm ok don't know them... Maybe I should check them out... I like something like The Midnight or Com Truise.

And this has the most sounds https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oVBb0x8BJ8blBWN3CjeuOIaXl0RY_0Cc/view?usp=sharing I just uploaded it myself because if you want all the soundbanks you need to fill your email on 1-2 websites ect. and I made a collection a short time ago, so why not sharing it xD, otherwise it's this synth here https://www.kvraudio.com/product/synth1-by-daichi-laboratory-ichiro-toda
Besides my own upload of Synth1 the most essential plugins are there: https://www.reddit.com/r/theencounter/comments/3k2cut/giant_massive_list_of_synthwave_and_outrun_vsts/ especially Dexed is really good, if you look a little you can find a collection with 20000 Sounds or something like that, because Dexed was modeled after the most popular synthesizer in the 80s. Oh, I found it http://bobbyblues.recup.ch/yamaha_dx7/dx7_patches.html
For Effects you really just need a good chorus, https://tal-software.com/products/tal-chorus-lx and that's one of the best ones even thought it's free, the chorus is the most important synthwave effect. For more control theres http://distorqueaudio.com/plugins/azurite.html
Reverb is important too... https://www.kvraudio.com/product/orilriver-by-denis-tihanov is the best free reverb... And the free effects from Valhalla DSP are great, too (and often better than paid stuff)
https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-supermassive/
https://valhalladsp.com/shop/modulation/valhalla-space-modulator/
https://valhalladsp.com/shop/delay/valhalla-freq-echo/
https://tal-software.com/products and all free products from there.
I know a little more free stuff, but I don't want to distract you... So I just posted the essentials xD
I'm just allways looking for free stuff myself haha
