Скачать или смотреть Synthwave songwriting and production: writing the parts (in Reaper)

I felt like making a track from scratch, in kind of a synthwavy vibe. I'm not sure if this is even a good idea for a video but I thought it might be fun to see (most of) the process. In my limited experience, synthwave is generally a fairly simple and forgiving genre to work with. Of course, you can go crazy with it, but at its core, it doesn't need a big arrangement, just a handful of tracks.

Software used:
Reaper
Modalics Beat Scholar
Cherry Audio Dreamsynth
Cherry Audio Octave Cat
Klevgrand Skaka
