thanks guys that Akai looks solid but looking for something shaped similar to beatstep compact rectangle, although I am considering it yes Selig that's the controller I narrowed down to the other night and some reason users on other sites recommended it. will still see what else there is while I wai...

I'm in a similar boat except I just like to learn new tools and DAW's for fun. For whatever reason I trialed Bitwig and didn't like it, which I know sounds very vague so take it with a grain of salt, but I don't even recall why. With that said I'm an owner of FL and Logic, the only two other DAW's ...

I find it a good way to express som...

No exact budget. That one looks way too big. Need something more petite so it fits well with my Arturia Keystep 32 key and the main thing is the knobs will work well with Reason. The beatstep simply is perfectly designed but useless with the way the knobs respond That's odd. I have a Minilab 3 myse...

Can you guys recommend any midi knob controllers that work well with Reason? I mainly need knobs, a decent amount of them at least. This one has 20, so around that I think would be good. If it has some pads that's fine too What's your budget? There's a lot of options out there these days. I think t...

Awww man thank you guys, unfortunately I downloaded the their midi control software, synced it and changed the global setting to fast acceleration and it just doesn't work. Controlling the knobs are just horrible. Will return this asap. Can you guys recommend any midi knob controllers that work well...

Thanks super informative and those guys were really jamming. Love how they recreated the string bass. 19:00 basically me before I commit to a track

I just got arturia beatstep, it's just knobs mostly so I can control and record effects easier. Setting up and assigning is easy but when I rotate the knobs, the correlated knobs in reason move in really small increments. Is there a way to make them move in higher increments? Doesn't seem to be an o...

I'm a fan of the genre and I've dabbled with it in a few unfinish...

i like it. cool vocal sample and that single bass kick works well with the rest of the drums and percs. my fav part is that break in the middle with the growling synth. is there a sound design tutorial to be able to make that type of growl synth and control it's expression? great track overall

To my ears the track seems kind of “unglued” meaning that it seemed like a bunch of independent tracks playing along at the same tempo? And there was no strong chorus to return to after the bridge. The track kept chugging along until the end when it unceremoniously ends. There’s a cool car revving ...

https://youtu.be/1Dl8FllCfKY https://soundcloud.com/usurptom/synthwave-cybertruck I had to start new channel for my music because my current one has messed up algorithm and low impressions due to a lot of dead subscribers after I switched niches a while back (it used to be a photoshop and after effe...

Experimented with different style and unusual structure. Any feedback, questions or suggestions welcome.

I’m listening on iPhone speakers so I won’t hear the full details. Drums sound great first thing I notice. I’m liking the noise buildup leading to the break, interesting tactic for suspense. Synth riff is cool. Only thing I would change just for the sake of being nitpicky is how it drops after the m...

Nice. Good to see you putting your spin on someone's work. Both versions sounded good to me.

Appreciate it Popey

Oooo very nice, I mess with it. Love that dark bass transition at about 1:17. This is like a film score beat with a bit of synthwave feel and unorthodox drums

I'm liking it, though I think it's missing a riser or something to introduce the main groove, the transition is very abrupt. Could be a drum fill instead of a riser, but something to say "Get ready!". The synth lead sticks around too long in the darkwave section. We need a break :) And I guess I wo...

well. I love what you did. your version is better than mine. I miss playing in bands and collaborating. Thanks.

Thank you very much for the inspiration. You should send me more stuff. Love your sound design and melodies

https://youtu.be/TjY4FHtBTzo also out on streaming Curious to hear ya'll thoughts. Any feedback is welcome. Mimi offered me the project file of a recent film score type track. I turned it into darkwave/synthwave. For the main hook and intro is all her melodies with my percussion. Then there is a dar...

Interesting track, not really my style but remained interesting throughout and the mix is nice and clean

Interesting hard hitter

Appreciate RTFX 🤟

Sure send it over. That’s cool how it changes. I’m getting past basic music theory recently. Just tried Algerian scale in latest track but also deviated by a semitone in some melodies but it sounded so right somehow. Something to wrap my head over because I’m so used to consonance I used quite a fe...

Took some of y’all suggestions in the previous post. Also first time trying the Algerian scale but also went a bit off scale in some melodies and strangely sounded great to me (working on music theory). Any feedback welcome (mix, structure etc.)

Solid song! I'd do what RYFX said.. maybe get some distortion on that main bass track.. hell automate the wet dry so the distortion hits the hook leaving the verses as is..

Well I’ll be damned, appreciate the feedback. I took some of y’all advice for the next track, coming out later today
