How To Make - Synthwave with Timecop 1983 / 221

Great tutorial. The song created shows some of the structures/patterns used in synthwave. it was a pleasant lesson

I am using a demo version of Lush101, and I can’t figure out how to load the “Main Arp - Lush 101.SHPRST” preset into Lush101 to replicate the Brash preset he uses. In Lush101, if I click on Load preset in Settings, it only allows .fxb or .fxp files. Is this a limitation of the demo version, or am I missing something? Thanks!

Hi there @scarridale

I’m not sure about the limitation of the demo, but here’s what you should try to install the Main Arp - Lush101.shprst preset in D16-Lush 101.

1- Launch an instance of Lush 101 and Open the Presets Browser from the GUI.
2- Click on an empty space on the 1st left folder location and hit the New Folder icon to create a new folder.
3- Do the same in the second location to create a sub-folder.
4- Double Click on each folder and rename them as you want.

5- Close the Presets Browser and click on the OPTIONS button top left.
6- Select the Presets Tab to reveal the Presets installation path.
7- Close Lush 101 and remove this instance from your DAW.
8- Browse to your Presets path on your computer and manually copy Main Arp - Lush101.shprst into the new folder/sub-folder ( i.e : here I created a User Preset folder and a Arp Sub-folder where I copied the preset file ).
9- Launch a new instance of Lush 101, click on Options, presets and hit the Update Presets button.

If you still don’t see the new preset, delete this instance of Lush 101 and launch a new one, you should be done.

Hope this helps :wink:

Cheers !

Great tutorial. The song not too complicated for begineers and theres tons of explanations on details

What a fantastic course! I found Timecop’s workflow to be very clean and simple, and nothing I’ve ever tried before, but I will certainly put it to use in the future!

Synthwave… nice.

Really informative. As an Ableton and ProTools user, I saw some great features of FL Studio that really expedited the completion of this track. Hmm…

Was a long time that I wanted to see the tutorial from this legend. Started on synthwave because of him, before I was Slap House producer. Timecop is a big inspiration in these times of fake and plastic music. Made my track for the remix contest this month. A simple tribute to to him.

Thank you for this excellent course in syntwave. You are a great teacher.

I posted my result out on soundcloud as a private track here: Stream TimeCop1983 - Dimensions - (Remake By Digital Polaroid) by Digital Polaroid | Listen online for free on SoundCloud

What I meant to ask is this;

What do I to think of before posting this publically on Social Medias?

I am using my won sound and samples, buts it is a complete covere of the song in the tutorial.

Thans for you replies

There’s a policy for course resources downloads and usage you need to agree with before downloading.

As mentioned in point 2 → “Vocals & their melodies are fully copyrighted…” so I would suggest not to share this publicly even if this is not a commercial release.

Best practice is to keep course material for private use & learning purpose.
Tutors are keen to share their own productions and knowledge with subscribers, but it’s another thing to see public releases of their tracks :wink:

Hope that makes sense !

Cheers

a good one, keep it up

This was very helpful to get an idea about how Synthwave should feel - timing, sound design, melody, … - and it will help me immensely with producing my own tracks. Thanks!

This one is so good, I watched it twice! Even though the instructor is using an older version of FL Studio, this course is still relevant to recent versions of the software. More from Timecop 1983 please!
