Ableton Live synthwave tutorial

Great video, mate! I really love the snare drum sample, would you be willing to share that one?

I've been trying to recreate the second synth at 32min with ableton stock sounds and the new Drift synth has a string preset called "Evangelis Strings". Combine that with the "Sixty Seconds" reverb you used and tweak the Attack+Release times you get pretty close to the TAL preset you're using. I don't suppose you could experminent with the Evangelis Strings and come up with a near replication of the TAL sound you're using in this song? Fantastic video Woody! Cheers

Yeah, really good job. Learned a lot and i loved the TAL JUNO sounds ! kudos ;;))

Like for the "shoe sting budget" 👍🙏❤

I thank you so much for this beautiful video!

Hello sir , the sounds is amazing !! how can i listen the complet song ?? Your link doesn’t work =) ?

amazing tutorial. the composition trick is something i ll never forget. thank you !

Considering it's a few years old this has to be one of the most informative tutorials I've managed to find on synthwave
production using Ableton... thanx👍🏻

Where i can find your song?

Hey Woody, great job, I really enjoy your synthwave video, -I guess your a product of the 80's just like me? :-) -but where are the juicy drum toms? -could be nice in the transition from intro to first verse?

Is there a snowball's chance that you (or anyone) still have the vocal stems somewhere? I'd love to have a go, but the contest is closed :/

damn this tutorial is soo good man!! thank you soo much!!

Very good

Do you happen to know what cart that bell sound on Dexed is from?? Awesome tutorial by the way, especially with the breakdown of common synthwave composition techniques.

It's been two years, this is still the best composition I've seen among all synthwave tutorial using Ableton Live

Fantastic, I love how you play the sounds without the effects and show the previews as you go along. It really helps us understand how to design the sound in the same way!

This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen regarding Synthwave when using Ableton. It’s a really interesting yet simple approach using only 8 tracks to compose an entire song but also quite demanding because you have to use the right tools and before that you need to know which ones are the right ones. So, respect!

How much would it cost to buy all these plugins?

After listening to The Midnight, I've always looking for a Synthwave tutorial. This is a super masterclass. Watched till the end.
Thanks alot dude... God bless.

Thanks for so much info Woody! Really appreciated. Hope to hear new synthwaves songs from you soon!

You not only made a tutorial that anyone can follow and get something out of, but also used a version of music software that doesn't have all the bells and whistles. Fantastic!

How to: Make a How to video.

I was stressed that I couldn't find a tutorial for synthwave. You are a godsend! I'm in happy tears! Thank you so so much!

I love you

Where can I find the song on the intro

I want to cry - I've been looking for an ableton lite tutorial featuring synthwave - this is perfect!

from Turkey, thank you for the video :) your narration is very nice.

what sweep sample do you use?

This is the best video Ive ever seen on music production... Well done bro, extremely professional.

man this video just invades me with the wish of you becoming like the Yoda of my music theory lessons. Greetings from Argentina

8 tracks is more than enough ;) I feel like most of my best songs came out within this limitation. Using Cubase LE 4 which allowed me to have only 8 VSTi tracks in a project.

Honestly one the best intro's i ever see thank you for this beautifully explained tutorial and hope you do more synthwave remixes

This is a seriously useful and watchable tutorial. Exellent work, Woody!

This is literally best tutorial I've seen for the synthwave. Thank you!

Gentle Squeeze but in Logic pro x?! ps AMAZING verb!!! <3 Love from DavidKeys!

Thanks for the info, I know now the existence of J-no-lx, synth1 and Dexed

Love the sound you have; i will use this tutorial to improve on my producing skills thank you!

Lupes and tules?? Wow

Thank you for not pronouncing D.A.W. as a word.

Very nice & useful tutorial. Amazing remix, I really love it!

Arrangement view is for arranging/writing. Session view is for live sessions. It's in the name.

nice job

Thank you very much from France for this awesome tutorial!

Great video Thanks

it´s great !!!! could be also a stranger Things theme :)

Awesome stuff! Thank you!

Hi Woody, what is the best DAW and midi keyboard that goes with it? I want to move to DAW from my Yamaha XF because the XF's are limiting the sound I want to create.
