I see many producers grouping the kick and bass(es) together, keeping the snare and hats in a different group. I have done this too, but I'm not sure I see why. Do you have any thoughts on this tradition?

[@SynthwavePro]

@@AUTOSAD777 Hi there, Autosad, I think this has a lot to do with frequency ranges. Grouping the (low frequency instruments) together prevents unwanted compression of the higher frequency instruments like snares, hats, crashes etc...

[@AUTOSAD777]

@@SynthwavePro Thanks. I also thought maybe side-chaining had an impact on this as well.

[@sweetdreamproductions4413]

You can automate the lfo in FL studio by linking the lfo to the mod wheel, then going into options, last tweeked, create automation clip, then edit the automation.

[@SynthwavePro]

Great tip! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@igorwagner8955]

This is such an iconic bass sound, I'm surprised that it's so seldom found in preset packs, even in those that were made specifically for synthwave. Thanks for the tutorial. 👍

[@brianray602]

You absolutely can automate the LFO. Just right click on the dot on the LFO curve and go down to "Modulate Curve" and then select what parameter you'd like to modulate the curve with (such as LFO 2 or ENV 2).

[@SynthwavePro]

Thanks for the feedback, Brian!

Hi. Enjoyed your video today. I loved some of the sounds that you introduced me to today. Thank you for making this video today. I am always loving to learn something new that you guys are always making online. I wish you continued success with all of your musical projects and your videos. I also wish you continued success financially as well. Keep making wonderful music. We need that in this world today. Have a great day and week.

[@AUTOSAD777]

I've been waiting patiently for the next vid. Thanks!

[@lucasmartinez9364]

that's what I was looking for! thanks so much

[@hiddensecreturl]

Hey, great video! Just wanted to add that as of now, you can in fact automate the LFO with another LFO, just drag and drop on to the grab point of the LFO you're automating!

[@SynthwavePro]

Thanks for the update!

[@p_a873]

Damn, that patch sounds amazing! There's one thing you can change to get the smearing effect with just one oscillator in Serum. If you increase the number of unison to 2 and then ajust the detune knob, you can get the exact same effect without having to keep the two oscillator at the same cents level.

[@SynthwavePro]

Awesome tip, brother! Thanks!

When I die, I will come back as a synthwave.

Hi Nate, at 0:30 we're playing the finalized version of the preset wit side chaining. At 10:25 we haven't yet added any side chaining to the signal.

[@nickstert7437]

Love your vids man 👍🏼. Always great content.

[@SynthwavePro]

Thanks for checking out the video! Much appreciated.

[@Todzi.3D]

Exactly what i needed. I use Synthmaster 2 which is great for Synthwave production, and almost everything in your video is easy to apply because it's very similar. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Juste one question : for your Sub Oscillator, you are using a side chain or LFO ?

[@SynthwavePro]

So happy this was useful. Either side chain or LFO work well. I'd use the LFO - cleaner with less pops and clicks.

[@Bbbbbbbbbbbbb989]

Another great and informative video, do you upload your synthwave on any streaming services?

[@SynthwavePro]

Hi Robert, Thanks for the comment. To answer your question no - Honestly, I've stayed away because of the overall business model of streaming services.

[@Bbbbbbbbbbbbb989]

@@SynthwavePro i can definitely respect that!

[@Tokkoran]

In what cases do you favor using a Sub bass patch in your productions in addition to the main bass? To my ears, the Serum bass patch once you added the Sub square has enough weight to carry a track without overpowering it. Looking forward to your thoughts on this. Thanks!

[@SynthwavePro]

I think the sub bass oscillator would have been enough. Then again, it really depends on the type of track you're writing. It's tempting to add layers upon layers of bass (sub bass) - when in doubt, perhaps less is more..

[@Tokkoran]

@@SynthwavePro totally agree. Personally I prefer a less is more approach. Thanks for your reply!

[@R9Z_Music]

INSTANT SUB !! thank you for the good work Sir

merci tu est trop fort franchement jme suis lancé dans la synthwave je vais regardé toute t'es vidéo tu vend des drumkit j'ai zero persussion ?

Merci. Je lance les drumkits dans quelques jours...en attendant, veuillez vous inscrire à la newsletter pour recevoir une notification. Grand merci Drum kits: bit.ly/3Ovthlz

[@gregshmkr]

Any specific reason you use the LFO instead of the envelopes to control the cutoff? Or is it just preference?

[@SynthwavePro]

Hi Greg, Having not watched the tutorial video, ( I hate watching my vids) I'll assume I wanted the LFO to repeat while pressing a single note. An envelope would need note input every single time.

[@gregshmkr]

@@SynthwavePro I didn’t even consider that. Makes sense.

[@Bana_na_TV]

[@natevizzi2901]

Dude great video

[@natevizzi2901]

The first time you hit play … how do you get the base to side chain without the kick or snare playing ?

[@AutPen38]

I think he's running a plugin like kickstart or LFO tool to duck the volume of the bass without any connection to the kick drum. Personally I find that effect is distracting and unnatural, as I generally only want the bass volume to be ducked when the kick is playing at the same time, but I guess it's just a matter of taste.

[@pattyorigami]

I know this is probably a long shot request, but could you show how to replicate this in LMMS using Triple Oscillator?

[@SynthwavePro]

Hey Patty, I'm not an LMMN user..But most synth have similar controls and modules.... Oscillator, filter, env and LFO + effects...

[@pattyorigami]

@Synthwave Pro Thanks for taking the time to respond. I do see the similarities and can implement much of what you did here, but I get a little hung up on the LFO part because the triple oscillator in LMMS seems to lack some of the functionality of what you are using. I'm just not sure if there's a way to replicate what you're doing here with the built-in LFO controls or if I'll need to utilize some plugin. Perhaps it's just the limitation of using free software, lol! Thanks for a great tutorial, nonetheless!

amazing video.please do a madeon the prince dark type of track

Hi Julian cool 😎 Video Looking forward to more 80s style sounddesign tutorials with serum. I also got diva and more synths. Do you also work with diva ?

[@SynthwavePro]

Glad you liked the tutorial. Yes, I'm also into diva..
