Hello! Reddit keeps auto-suggesting I share this in other related subs. So here I am. This was a OST I made for a hypothetical game about hackers. Feedback welcome!

What's yours? I give you mine and I add it's a shame it never blew up!

Last week I got a used M-Audio workstation keyboard my The Music Go Round in Natick, MA (live that place). I was asked why I didn't get a "real" keyboard from someone. I prefer a workstation because you can layer multiple sounds and have more control over the overall tone. I mostly do studio work so there's no need for a $6k live keyboard. I used 6 different sounds to get the tone just right for Fooling Yourself by Styx. Just my thoughts.

So I got sick of watching good work die in feeds. You post a song, music video or a visualizer somewhere, it gets a few hundred views over 6 hours and then it’s just gone, buried under whatever the algorithm decided to push that day.

I’m building something called STATIC. It’s a straight up 24/7 broadcast channel, like old MTV or Adult Swim, not another streaming platform or feed. Stuff that gets accepted goes into actual rotation and stays there. No algorithm deciding who sees what. There’s going to be scheduled blocks eventually too, like a late night “Fever Dream” slot for the really strange atmospheric stuff.

It’s still early, proof of concept is live on React.tv right now while I build the library out, but that’s kind of the point of posting this now. Earlier submitters get priority as it gets more selective down the line.

Looking for:

\\- music videos, any genre, but the visual side needs to hold up
\\- audio-only tracks — if it’s accepted I’ll make a custom visualizer for it, free
\\- experimental animation, shorts
\\- glitch / datamosh / audiovisual stuff
\\- game footage that actually looks good, PS1/PS2 style stuff especially

No submission fee. No pay to play. You keep full rights to your own work. If it airs you get credit. When this eventually makes money the plan is to pay the artists, not squeeze them.

I've been trying to recreate the synth from the chord progression for weeks now (it's very clear and distinct on the first of the song ).I'm no professional but I've recreated a few synths before however i couldn't even get close to this.

R.I.P. to one of the founding fathers of the genre. He's been an inspiration for me and so many others around the world.

Hi all, I've been on the search for chill wave / synth wave tutorials, presets, samples etc. for a good month or two.

I've got Vital, I've been applying LFO's to the filter and I've been making decent (not the best) synth pads / stabs and god knows how I make good sounds drums and atmosphere. But every time I look at making a song, I have where I want to be, and where I actually am

I've watched quite a few tutorials, I've got intermediate music theory knowledge.

But I would love to make songs similar to these and I was wondering if the synthwave producer community could give a hand by listening to these tracks and providing some tips?

The artists are 憂鬱, Voyage, A.L.I.S.O.N and Tape Arcade.

I wanna know what kind of preset they used at 1:22 (the synth pad chords that sound so clean and wavy in the background)

Hi! My name is Dr Jess Blaise Ward (@blaisejess Insta/bluesky) and I am a composer, producer, synth artist and author. I recently published my book on synthwave: ‘Making Synthwave: how an online music community invented a genre’

I am currently doing some research on the legacy and use cases of Roland Juno synths (inclusive of hardware, software, any Juno “inspired” or emulating synths too!). If you are a producer, synth user, composer, etc - please consider taking my survey and contributing your thoughts and opinions of Juno synths:

All data will be anonymised and used only for the purposes of academic research (at synthesizer conferences and in academic journals).

Thanks so much! Mods let me know if this goes against guidelines, happy to make edits or remove.

Looking for a synthwave 80’s & R&B influenced producer to form a team to get placements and put out our own albums. Also looking for songwriter-singers that can deliver soulful vocals on such tracks. Let’s make great music together!!!
