Making a DAWless Synthwave Song From Scratch // Novation SL MKIII | Circuit | Minilogue | System-8

Here is a rough outline of making a DAWless synthwave song from scratch. I'm still new to DAWless as well so I'm still incorporating new performance techniques.

00:00 - Step 1: Choosing Your Gear (Sequencer)
00:44 - Step 1: Choosing Your Gear (Drum Machine)
01:28 - Step 1: Choosing Your Gear (Korg Minilogue)
01:57 - Step 1: Choosing Your Gear (Roland System-8)
02:20 - Step 2: Make a Simple Beat
05:53 - Step 3: Make a Chord Progression
06:40 - Drums + Bass Together
07:26 - Step 4: Find a Voice For Your Instruments (System-8)
08:20 - Choose a BPM
09:08 - Drums + Bass + System-8 Together
09:46 - Step 4: Find a Voice For Your Instruments (Minilogue)
13:08 - Step 5: Performance (Putting it all together)


A journey into the universe of synthesis.
