I'd love to see more content like this if you have time, it's always really interesting breaking down a piece of your music and seeing behind the process of making it. (Compositionally speaking as well).
It's good to have confirmation that Synthwave tracks are relatively simple... not that many tracks. I am working on one of those Synthwave tracks too. Good stuff Woody.
Killer plugin, thank you for introducing it. Was programming my own retro sounds on ableton's operator using audio racks and though eventually things did sound alright... This plugin sorts it out in a few buttons and knobs tweaks.
Really good tutorial. As an idea for maybe future video. Would it be possible to cover chillwave, maybe do a deconstruction of a song including sound design. There are some really good artists out there like Forhill, Home, A. L. I. S. O. N, Hotel Pools to name a few. Keep up with the good work Woody, love this channel. 😁
I really like the samples, they definitly add something. I have been experimenting with samples in Korg Gadget, to enrich a track that I made. I recorded some samples from a Mitsubishi lift (the chime sounds and various other sounds) and also some characteristic voice samples from a well known lift filmer.
Enjoyable video, and I really like the track. Another commenter pointed out this is relatively simple, but I think it's not. I saw another video some time ago on a modern production where the producer stuffed his track with one bit of "ear candy" after the other, and the result was a baroque mess ;-) Adding some details but not overdoing it is an art in itself.
Definitely keep the vocal samples in the track! Woody I'm trying to get into synthesis and is there any particular soft synth you would recommend for a relative beginner? Or perhaps you think doing it the old fashioned way with a hardware synth is better?
thanks for the feedback! my next video is all about hardware vs software, so watch out for that. more convenient to make tracks like this "in the box". you can get great results with the ableton instruments, there are dozens of great freebies, synth1, tal uno, dexed.
I came from a 'traditional' DAW too. It took ma a while to get my head round the Session view. But, when you do, and the penny drops, it's a great way to get a track up and running. I like to think of the Session view as the same as standard linear arrangement we are all used to, but rotated 90 degrees, running top to bottom instead of left to right. Hope this makes sense. There's loads of Live tutorials on YT. Check out Sadowick Production ua-cam.com/video/UFgo6WnRz1g/v-deo.html
I generally use the session view for sketching and mixing/mastering and the arrangement view for sequencing and arranging. :) Some great tutorials are the "You Suck at Producing" tutorials. The dude who teaches those is hilarious and knowledgeable about music. They're primarily about production, but he uses Ableton and you learn a lot about the way Ableton operates as well. He has other series that cover things such as music theory and mixing too.

I always think it's great to look at a breakdown videos of a track.
You can pick up a lot of tips just by watching someone else doing it. :)
thanks xav, it's fun and rewarding to make these breakdowns too

This is the sort of content I really enjoy watching. Thank you Gareth, keep at it 👍
I found your channel from your part one video, and I love it! Thanks for the great videos, I love seeing breakdowns of dope tracks like this!
i just found your channel! and i am glad that i did!! love your content!! cheers from Australia

Thank you Mr. Shack. Definitely keep the samples in 🐇
i liked it! please do more of this.
I like this track and Synthwave in general, but I am very impressed how you became very comfortable with Ableton
thanks! been using it on and off for about 10 years I think but always forgetting the shortcuts so I look like a noob on the screen capture :)
Great piece Woody
Great video!

sweet!
If anyone is looking for a free alternative to the One knob pumper I can reccomend "Pecheneg Tremolo". It's a bit more advanced but does the trick! :D

@@WoodyPianoShack thanks look forward to it.
Check out Nicky Romero's Kickstart for really nice side chain effects - www.kickstart-plugin.com
Awesome woody ! 😀 Thank you.those are fantastic breakdown.I'll buy the project in a minute and make you rich so you can buy a CS- 80.😁cheers
You're so talented ... :-D
thanks, more of a good bluffer really :D
@@WoodyPianoShack Well, you keep fooling me all the time ... ;-)
Wonderful!
Also have Ableton but can't get away with it. I get frustrated as it doesn't seem to do what I want it to do especially in session view.
it takes some time and effort to get into the live way of working
Woody Piano Shack I’m fairly new to all this and have been working with a GarageBand instead which is much more user friendly

Thanks lads for your input
Keep the voice samples in.
