New Synthwave Track: Maria, Its 1984

Let us hear you!

HI, my first post on the forum. I usually make ravey/breakbeaty/ambient techno, but recently been experimenting with vintage drum machines and hip hop vocals to hopefully make something quite unique:

I realised during Lockdown that understanding modes would unlock some magic part of music, and not gonna lie it did. Instant key to making songs sound more 'magical'. Also made me realise that almsot all of my favourite musc is in Dorian

Which Controllers Do You Really Appreciate?

DAW or Software Questions

I've been using the Novation launchpad for creating live stuff on ableton. Not gonna lie for years. i just used arrangement voew, never bothered with the whole live looping thing... but my god have I been converted. Its only about £100 aswell, proper worth it.

Really nice mate, love the spooky video game-esque vocals. Proper blissful. I get the name Neon Critter, suits it nicely

Studio setup and sound treatment

Hey -

So I didn't make them myself, but i have a carpenter friend who made me some fantastic acoustic panels, which honestly have completely transformed the sound in my room. I hardly have the ideal room shape but the panels have really helped my mixes go up a gear. Not massively expensive. Just a timber frame (cheap af from local hardware store), rockwool insulation, and some cheap fabric. Jobs a good un.

It doesn't need to be completely covered at all no. A couple behind your desk, a couple on the wall opposite ur desk, a couple on the walls either side, and if youre feeling extreme, one on the ceiling above you. and try and have a carpet/rug

Right, this year, I'm finally making an album!
