After adding so many plugins to the base project, the latency significantly increases, making it harder to play without latency on the keys. I don’t disagree, as I often do the same, but in most tutorials I’ve seen, even with a CPU like mine, the i9-13900K, DDR5 RAM, and M.2 SSDs, it’s safer to add plugins like Waves during the mixing process, as only some of them work in 0 Latency mode. If you want to create music by simply clicking with the mouse and programming sequencer loops, then latency may not matter as much in that context. :slight_smile:

I just recreated the sound for the dreamy synth in vital, got it pretty close, then suddenly noticed that the sound is basically in Tim’s preset pack for diva, it’s called dolphin dreams, as is his preset for the comeback kid main synth, it’s very nice. Nice work to tim.

Really great course. I wish sonic academy would do some more synthwave tutorials and mixing classes. There are a ton of other great up and coming artists that would love to be apart of this.

A very complete course in which Tim from “The Midnight” explains in detail the process of creating the “Comeback Kid”. Very good for those who work with Logic Pro.

As much as I liked the course, I can’t help but missing the “why” on many of the things he does. It feels a bit like step 1, step 2, step 3, without talking much about why deciding on that melody, why doing the bridge there, why having what number of instruments together… I would classify it as a technical step-by-step breakdown of a song. I think I probably learned more paying attention to how he moves around logic, ussage of channels and busses, etc…

Thank you!

I am a The Midnight fan for sure, especially their Endless Summer album, but I am blown away by the fact that Tim didn’t pan anything and left everything in stereo and straight down the middle. I wasn’t expecting that. I guess it works for them, but I’m sure the mix would’ve sounded a lot more spacious if some of these instruments had been mixed in mono. As a Logic Pro user of many years, I appreciated the fact that this was all done in Logic.
