Hi all



The old year is drawing to a close. A new one starts.


I want to spend the old year with my first synthwave album (which is still not finished). Why not lo-fi??? - Because I have no mood and time to write it. This requires a lot of thinking.


I want to sum up the old year:

  1. The war has begun. No one expected this, including me. For me, this was the impetus to write more music, since it was dangerous to go out into the street.
  2. Posted my first track on NG - Suspence. Even though many people didn't like it, according to the ratings, it remains for me the most favorite track of all mine. It reminds me of the time when I was just learning to write music and it was very interesting, but now there is not much to learn.
  3. First FP. Then it was a great joy for me, I did not think that so many people would listen to something made by me. This is my first lo-fi which I think turned out well, but not great.
  4. I started writing synthwave and tried to make music for games. If everything is clear with music for games - I didn’t understand how to do it, and now I don’t really understand it, but I have a feeling that with practice I began to delve into it more. It’s different with synthwave, this genre was easy for me, just arrange the kick and snare rhythmically and here’s a synthwave for you😁😁 Joke.
  5. Learned to do lo-fi remixes of music from visual novels. When I started playing visual novels, and I really liked the music, I realized that I wanted to remix it in a lo-fi version. But it didn't work. But recently, having remixed some music from YouTube, I realized how to make remixes, and my first remix of music from a game that I didn’t even play,i just heard the music on youtube.

I've learned a lot this year, comparing my music now and my music when I was still green, I realized that I can, I can if I want to. + recently I got a job with a good schedule, and even with it I don’t have the mood and time to do something, I’m already lazy, my motivation has disappeared.

In general, I want to end this year with my first album, which I have been writing for 2 months now because I am lazy ((((. Thank you all. Thank you for supporting and listening to me, thanks for 50 subscribers. In the new year, I will definitely I'll be better.

I want to wish everyone the most important thing. Don't lose yourself and your dreams. Strives for what is planned. 
GL


See you

Hello! I don’t know how the translator will translate what I write, but I will write as briefly and clearly as possible. As you understand here, I want to write plugins that I use. Let's start.

It contains many beautiful and realistic instruments, ranging from pianos to pads. Suitable for those who write music in the genre of Lo-fi, Synthwave, Classical, Ambient, Horror and so on.

Sample library and one shot. If you download competent libraries, you can find very high-quality sounds. I especially like libraries from XP. Lots of pads, different pianos, sound effects, and so on.

Suitable for those who write music in the genres of Lo-fi, Synthwave, Classical, Ambient, Horror, Orchestral, Drill, Electronic, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Rock/Metal (many libraries have a lot of electric guitars), and so on.

P.s in these libraries you should sit and look at all the sounds, you can record many for yourself.

a) Plugin as the name implies for Lo-fi. It combines pianos, basses, guitars, pads, and a few more pleasant sounds for Lo-fi music.

b) Plugin with piano and keys for Lo-fi music.

These two plugins are, of course, very well suited for Lo-fi music. But if you try, they will sound beautiful even in other genres.

By the name it seems that this plugin is only a piano. But no. There are many different sounds in the plugin, for example: harp, bell, xylophone, vibraphone and so on. It should be noted that I like this plugin because it contains a lot of old pianos. But it's better for you to see it yourself.

Suitable for those who write music in the Lo-fi genre, Classical, Ambient, BGM, VGM and so on.

The sample library is full of instruments, from fantasy piano to cosmic synth sounds. Here are the instruments you can find there: Piano, Organ, Bell, Guitar, Pluck, Synth (there are many), Drum/Drum loops, Strings and so on.

Suitable for those who write music in the genre of Synthwave, Classical, BGM, VGM and many other genres.

  • 6. a) French Violin | b) Cassete Roads | c) Vibraphone Renai | d) Analog Waveforms e) Room Piano v3 by Sample Science

a) By the name it is clear that this plugin contains cellos, namely: Arco, Pizzicato, Spicatto and Tremolo. Anyone who likes to write classical music will suit him.

b) A beautiful piano or keys. Better evaluate it yourself. It can be used in Lo-fi music.

c) Classical vibraphone. For those who need to take it.

d) Analog oscillator with such waves as: Saw, Triangle. The only thing I can say is that it will suit those who write music in the genre of Synthwave, VGM, Ambient.

e) A beautiful piano, nothing more, nothing less.

Let's draw conclusions on these 5 plugins: a) Suitable for those who write music in the genres of Lo-fi, Classical, Jazz, BGM, VGM.

b) Also good for Lo-fi music, as well as for Ambient. c) I have used this plugin a couple of times, if you throw effects on it it sounds nice, for Classical, VGM. d) For Synthwave, Ambient. e) Good for dark music and Lo-fi if you try.

P.s but of course you use them for the genre you write. Music has no boundaries and strict rules!

Small retro oscillator. With 7 kinds of waves.

Very well suited for those who write music in the genre of 8-bit, VGM, Synthwave.

Large synthesizer with many built-in effects and features. It contains many different sounds, such as: Guitar, Plucks, Bell, Piano, Organ, Sequences, Winds, Woodwind, Pads, Lead and many, many others.

Suitable for everyone! Especially for those who know how to change the sound for themselves.

  • 9. a) Ample Bass Y | b) Ample Ethno U | c) Ample Guitar Twelve/M2 | d) Ample Percussion Cloudrum by Ample Sound

Ample Sound has a lot of guitars and instruments. But I use most of the above.

a) Pleasant bass guitar; b) Beautiful ukulele; c) Classical guitar; d) Good percussion.

Suitable for all genres. One of the advantages is that they have a lot of tools for you to choose from. Of the minuses, they heavily load the computer.

a) There are 3 types of guitar: Acoustic, Nylon, Steel.

b) Plugin with several classic folk instruments: Harp, Cumbus, Dobro, Kanun, Koto, Duclimer, Tar, Turkish oud. In my opinion, it will suit lovers of classical folk beats or those who write music in the Classical, VGM, BGM, Drill genres.

c,d) Two almost similar sounding saxophones.

DSK has more effects that you can change.

All these instruments are suitable for music lovers for games, and for the old Hip-Hop.

P.s DSK has a lot of tools and they are all FREE! I advise you to go to them and see what you need. DVS has few of them, but they are also free.

A synthesizer that has many presets with different sounds. What it has: Bass, Sequence, Pad, SFX, Gate, Lead, and beautiful synth sounds.

Very well suited for those who write Synthwave, Darkwave, Sovietwave, Retrowave or just those who love space and electronic music.

  • 12. ODSay by Elektro Studio

A vintage synth that doesn't have a lot of sounds, but they are very reminiscent of those old days when Synthwave was in its infancy.

Suitable for the Synthwave genre.

  • 13. Tyrell N6 by U-he

Also a synthesizer with a large number of presets, it is better to try them all, because for you a lot may not be very good.

Suitable also for lovers of Synthwave and old electronic music.

Guitar plug-in that has 7 guitars. From acoustic to space. You'd better download and try it yourself, especially since it's completely free.

Suitable for everyone. But personally, he helps me write Lo-fi.

Drum preset library, a very good plugin for those who like acoustic drums, or for those who are too lazy to write drum parts themselves and find sounds for this. There are a lot of drum parts, the plugin is free. Come in and try.

Suitable for everyone. Especially for those who love the acoustic sound of drums. Same for Classical, Drill, VGM, BGM, Synthwave and so on.

Vocal plugin, nothing else. I don't think the quality is very good. But those who need choral sounds will do.

Suitable for everyone.



At the moment, this is so far all the plugins that I have and that I use in my music.

ATTENTION!!!

The more plugins you download. The more time you will need to find your sound. Try to use fewer plugins, so you will enhance your music experience by changing just the sound! In FL Studio (where I currently write music) there are many plugins that already have beautiful sounds. Take the same Flex and MiniSynth.


Some of the plugins listed above are PAID! I am not promoting piracy. But whoever wants to write music will find any way to write it.

And in the end, I want to do it again. Music has no boundaries. What I wrote under plugins is just my opinion. Any instrument will suit any music. Develop. Learn. Search.

In the next post, I would like to write about plugins too, only about mastering effects.
