In this video I’m going to share my findings and share my suggested approach relating to the sound design and synthesis of the The Midnight. I’ll also show you how to create a couple of patches using the free synth GR8 (but you can follow along on any synth of your choice).

Fantastic video! I love these analysis videos. And you perfectly summed up why The Midnight is my favorite synthwave band. Everything is just so pleasing to listen to.
🤩💪🏻
Thanks man, this is great. Subbed.
Welcome to Synthwave Dojo 🤩💪🏻
Thx very informative! excellent!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is great stuff! Finally starting to feel like I'm not just randomly turning knobs and pressing buttons. Thanks Alonso!
Happy to help! In case you didn't know, I have a 9 lesson synthesis course over on my platform where I use GR8 exclusively. Enjoy! synthwavedojo.com/courses/sound-design-with-gr-8-by-phuturetone/
Good shit 🤯
Thanks! 😉
Awesome work as always Alonso!
Glad you like it, mate!
Interesting analyze and a nice recreation of the sounds, thanks for sharing and caring Alonso! :)
My pleasure!
This breakdown was amazing! I'm stunned to learn The Midnight are selling their stems! That is so cool!
Thanks! Yeah they've been doing it for quite a while. It would be cool if more artists did that. There's just so much to learn from isolating the tracks and inspecting them 🤓
@@SynthwaveDojo Oh for sure! I have my fair share of (non-synthwave) stems and tracks. Very insightful. I actually found some from Gunship! Wish it was from a song, or songs from their first album tho...
Very cool!
Not sure if the waveform of the first arp is a saw maybe its a wavetable and it sounds a bit more detune. But otherwise I really enjoyed how you approach the sound designs in his video.
Glad you found it useful!
You are a wizard, my friend!
thanks mate 😉
In the Massive 5th Pad, isn't one of the oscillators tuned up a 5th?
Great observation! It's not relevant if you play all the notes manually 😉
If anyone is interested, The Midnight himself has a masterclass/course in Sonic Academy :D
Thanks! Unfortunately in that course Tim doesn't explain pretty much anything related to how and why like I'm doing here. He just says 'here's the bassline, here's the drum pattern, here's the patch I used".
@@SynthwaveDojo Of course of course. Sorry, I didn't want in any case to underestimate your video. What you explain is great. Good work :)
@@shotgan ☺
there's some real good insight in this video but come on dude, this feels pretty half-assed on a few levels. you couldn't have taken 5 minutes before hitting record to figure the parts out beforehand? this doesn't instill the best sense of confidence in whatever you're trying to market here.
and here's the thing, some of the sounds you got spot on! there's some genuinely great info that i got from this. but not tuning the oscillators a fifth apart for the pad (despite the track name saying so) and just giving up on the lead synth is weird to see in a video where you're positioning yourself ostensibly in a place of authority on this shit. hearing my instructor say "whatever the part is i don't care" multiple times would immediately throw up some red flags i'm gonna be real
Thank you for your feedback my friend!
