Thank you for your support my friend!

i started a passion for the genre but i felt the mi mix' s are so clean in that perpective

[@SynthwaveDojo]

to be honest, saturation and distortion could account for 1-2% of a good mix. 98% is a good composition, arrangement and foundational mixing techniques. Then saturation and distortion become the icing on the cake, but they won't turn a bad production into a great one, in my humble opinion

[@twitchbook-1]

Thanks for the tutorial, can we see you approach in sort of the characters in the vibe like saturation and distortion

[@SynthwaveDojo]

Mostly I use saturation and distortion as tape and other specialty plugins on my sub groups for drums&bass and synths and master fader. I’ll cover this during my next deconstructed video

[@twitchbook-1]

in your point of view ,what could be the fundation sounds than create that revolution in the genre

[@SynthwaveDojo]

You mean, what sounds or styles will bring an evolution to synthwave? If this is the question, for me it's still using Unity, meaning the expectations of the genre in terms of sounds, synths and familiar patterns, but adding Variety, meaning what else from the musical world can be incorporated into synthwave. Every producer must challenge themselves to bring something new to the table, not just become clones of the successful producers of our time. This is hard; this is something few producers are willing to do. Will you?
