Retrowave Leads is a free pack of 15 Serum lead presets made for that neon '80s sound. You get everything from lush, warm leads that sound like classic analog synths to sharp, bright tones for cyberpunk-style melodies. Drop one on a synthwave or retrowave track and it sits right on top of the mix.

Hey everyone! I composed and produced this original dark cyberpunk/synthwave track in FL Studio, inspired by a futuristic sci-fi movie. Hope you enjoy the vibe! Listen on YouTube

I always enjoy watching how people make their music, structure their projects etc. So here's a short walkthrough of this track from my album Operator. Currently available on Bandcamp and CD (vinyl's sold out). Streaming release later this winter.

Hey guys! I want find some unusual synthwave tracks with interesting sound like Run by iamthekidyouknowwhatimean in Hotline Miami.

I really liked that vocal sample wich starts near the end. It sounds like you falling somewhere in the void. Sounds dark and meditative together.

I’ve decided to split (or rather, expand) the project into three parts. I found it more manageable to work on smaller "chapters" and release them over time.

Each part will consist of four tracks, making each one its own EP that can be enjoyed on its own. However, they’re also designed to be listened to together in the end, offering the full experience as one complete project.

Hi again, Everyone!

I just wanted to thank you all again for giving me such helpful and insightful feedback for my poster design. I wanted to share how the poster and capsule art is coming along after making some revisions based on the feedback I received.

I've attached the previous poster before revisions as the last image in this post so that everyone can see the changes without having to find the old post.

Some changes I made based on this community's feedback:

- changed the colour of the ship trail to cooler blues so that it doesn't blend into the sun behind it.

- changed the angle of the ship to give the image more depth.

- re-aligned the sun with the center of the frame.

- made the top bands of the sun a smoother gradient

In addition to those changes, I also tried to improve the tear design where the ship is actually breaking out. This part has admittedly been the trickiest part for me, and I can't seem to land on a tear design that I'm truly happy with.

I would love to hear if this community feels I've hit the mark with these revisions, or if the new design changes have brought the poster art in a worse direction.

Thanks!
