Production Tutorial: How to make Retro Synthwave sounds in Ableton | Beat Academy

Is he using Redux? Its the only effect he doesnt have expanded. Its right next to Saturator. He called it a digital delay and it sounds like a a bit crusher someone please help.

Never though Ron Pearlman would teach me how to synthwave! Thank you!

Thanks, but sadly you don't show the scale, chords, or the notes, with this it'll be a great video, sorry my english

Would be loved a 2 part of this tutorial with Pads, vocals end stereo effects.

When I tried the tutorial, my initial synth sound wasn't as 'punchy'. Was there an effect already added to the main outs at the start? Thanks!

Hi. Does anyone have all of the notes used in each chord progression for the original synth sound?

Shout out to everyone here with Ableton Standard.

Can you tell me: Ho is it so that the bass notes sound so saturated from the get go?

what is the correct sample pack to download for this song?

Throw a snare in there next time eh

Thank you for an awesome tutorial

Man just to get the sample pack you have to go through all that nonsense, honestly

Was so surprised to see Ill Factor here. Is there anything you ‘don’t’ do, man? 😂 Good stuff. Cheers!

I have ableton live 11 standard... theres a bunch of stuff I don't seem to find here.. do I need another version?

Blown away by the sound design!

That makes me wanna watch 80s cult cyberpunk movies and play Farcry 3 blooddragon<3

Great tutorial best description and now I understand analog on a bigger scale! Thanks so much!

Thanks for sharing! 👍🙌

That output arcade pad patch rules! Geeeeez

Has anyone the same Problem to recreate his Bass Soud by using the Wavetable? Got all his Settings typed in

The best synthwave sound design tutorial i saw :) thanks!

Such an amazing tutorial, nothing special about synthesis, but still those easy techniques can really give that 80's sound. Subscribe for sure!

what a gem

This helped me out 2 years after the making, so thanks!

I don't have that chorus vst ;C

Im so frustrated by not being able to find the Analog tool which you use. I am using Ableton live 11. I cannot find it anywhere. Any advice ?

I did exactly what you did but right from the bat the synth lead sounds completely opposite to yours. It is almost silent and not "full". Sounds like a broken console.

When I'm messing around with the sound, it arpeggiates just fine with my midi controller, but as soon as I press record, it arpeggiates like crap.

Awesome video, thanks!

great!!!

Nice guide, thank for that! I am using/learning in Ableton live 11 (standard). I can't see any "analog" as you use? It is not under instruments and I cant see it under the other categories. Can you help me? Maybe it is because I use the standard. Can you find it online somewhere?

Is there more to this tutorial at Beat Academy? This is great and I would totally pay for more of this type of instruction. The only class that looks similar is the Ableton 10 sound design class.

seeing those analog boxes at the bottom of the screen for the first time made me go...yeah maybe music production isn't for me...but it's not that scary now! thanks!

Hi, I'm interested in starting Ableton from scratch. I have experience with Studio One and Cubase, but I think Ableton is totally different. Should I subscribe to the Beat Academy? Or is it better to learn the basics first?

Sample Rate? Thanks

Thank you very much for this very transparent tutorial! It is not easy to recreate the RC-20 effects with Ableton Live stock plugins only, but this is not a complaint! Thx again!

can I please have the project file

I have watched literally 10-15 videos..but no videos were as informative as this single video..i have learnt so much about ableton's synth design and synth wave..and how to make it..so thanku beat academy❤️

Perfect - exactly what I was looking for! Ta very much.

This tells me nothing. He had all the chords setup already when this started, all he does is play with the reverb and stuff. How do you actually GET them in there?

enter the arena

any suggestions for something other than abletons wavetable?

<3 <3 <3

Amazing tutorial! You don't have this live set downloadable from the sample pack right?
