    I honestly wanna start making synthwave just for myself, I don't even care if anyone else hears it ever, I just love the genre, and the idea of making my own. This might be what gets me interested in learning about music composition for the first time in my life. I hope 30 isn't too late to start!

      Bro, do you have some songs? I am looking for some great synthwave instrumentals. I have tried to make my own, but i don't like the results. But i still have an ambition to write some Synthwave rap album. Maybe you have some demos that i can use? There are a lot of free stuff on youtube, but i can't change the lenght of the track. We can colloborate.

    Instead of automatic the reverb you could use a gate on a reverb send channel. I don't know which is easier in FL. And good job as always, this would fit well with a "cruising in my hovercar" type scene.

    • @JRent506
      @JRent506  Před 4 lety +2
