Great synthwave track. Lays the foundation strong

Total noob here, but the presenter was nice and clear, and explained everything basically. Can really recommend to anyone wanting to learn synthwave. It was a fun filled experience with a lots of learning throughout the series. I followed along in CakeWalk.

Covers the production process from start to finish including mixing and mastering. Clear and interesting content. Uses Ableton but any daw can be used (I used studio one and followed along).
