How to Make Synthwave in FL Studio

In this video, I’m going to show you how to make synthwave in FL Studio using all stock FL Studio plugins, synths, and drums. Synthwave aka retrowave is a genre of music which has really grown a lot in popularity over the past couple of years. The genre is heavily inspired by 80’s movies and video games. In this tutorial I use a lot of presets which I made using GMS (Groove Machine Synthesizer). If you want to learn how I made certain presets in GMS let me know in the comments below which presets you want me to make videos on. I’m planning on doing at least a couple, but I can do more if enough people are interested. *I’m not actually allowed to legally redistribute image-lines drum samples, so I can’t give out the pack anymore. As I mentioned in the video you can find all these samples inside FL Studio anyway.
