Very interesting! that’s just what I was looking for

I’ve just started working on my first SynthWave EP, so this is invaluable to me! Thanks!

Some good stuff in here.

Wow! It’s the Midnight!

Their mixing is just a masterpiece. Amazing.

Nice one!

Has anyone recreated any of the synths in ANA 2?

Man, The Midnight never ceases to blow me away. Tim is such a great teacher!

I hope I am able to take away skills to be a better producer from this course.

Am I supposed to already own or buy these 35 plug-ins to complete this tutorial? For starters, Logic can’t even open the SC-40 TOMS.EXS file… The project is almost completely quiet save for a flat kick and vocals.

My only feedback is that it would be nice to know that I needed 30+ new
plugins (which are not included) to be able to follow the tutorial.

@Xaetic

If you scroll down on the course a page it shows you all the plugins used in each course.

While we try to encourage the tutors to use as much of the DAW stock plugins as possible we also want them to show us their process in creating the released version of the track.

All our beginner courses use stock plugins

Cool

There’s some really good info in this course, but at the same time the guy leaves out SO many details that would have been helpful to know. And some of the things he does is a bit outdated at this point. Either way, still worth watching.

Love the lesson. Wish he had spent more time on the guitar part. I love the sound. Having zero luck recreating it.

More synthwave tutorials like this, please. The synth guitar is among the best I’ve heard. As a guitarist, I appreciate the attention to detail. It’s like Frank Gambale played the track. They have great saxophone on their album. But that has to be a real player. Or does it?

Thanks Tim! super helpful tutorials. its very surgical

I read some of the comments. and to anyone wanting a dreamy synth sound… you don’t want to take his sample and use it.i know you want to be a carbon copy off the midnight but no one else does. This gives insight as to what to look for or maybe some ideas of how to get the best of your current sounds. use whatever plugins you have. use stock ones and you will get very similar effects. if you can afford glossy expensive plugins go for it but in the end it won’t matter its subtle anyways… the amount his mix will sound better than yours is buy a ball hair. To get a dreamy synth use a JUNO BRASS layered with a string or pad sound sound make the attack on the brass decently quick and pad or strings at half so you hear the brass initially and not the attack of strings … bring up the decay and go half on sustain and then go half to full on release for both… sounds dreamy to me
