Cyber synthwave track for edgerunner 2
J'ai commencé une nouvelle track entre synthwave et cyberpunk. Parfait timing avec les annonces de edgerunner 2 👾. Est ce son aurait une place dans la série selon vous? 🤔

Any fans of Carpenter Brut?
This french darksynth artist is so good, they have been performing in some big festivals, even in metal music festivals, and I still feel like they are so overlooked.
Artist combines together elements from italo disco, horror synth and even some hard rock/heavy metal music.

Guitar Sesh Syhthwave
Hi everyone! I’ve been trying some new things and adding a bit more guitar melody to my songs. What do you think? Do you think it works, or not so much?

What do you call Upbeat Horrorsynth + Retro 80's Hard Rock / Heavy Metal?
To me, the prototype of this genre is Dance With The Dead. Nowadays, for lack of a better word, I usually refer to this subgenre as "Horrorwave". What do you call it, and are there any good bands in this style that I've missed out on?

I need your Help! Darksynth/Horrorsynth/Ambient New Guy!
Building a mostly-hardware setup for darksynth/horrorsynth (Carpenter Brut, Perturbator) plus darker ambient/drone for a project called Signal Decay. Recording into Logic, guitars added after. I like to "Jam" to come up with ideas.
Trying to pick the best box per layer rather than one do-it-all groovebox. Current thinking:
- Lead: Korg Minilogue XD or Minifreak
- Bass + drums: Sonicware Deconstruct Minimal (or Elektron Model:Cycles?)
- Pads: Roland J-6
- Drones: Sonicware Ambient Ø
- Sampler: Roland P-6
Questions:
- Best box for distorted, characterful drums — Cycles, Deconstruct, or something else?
- Best for genuinely unsettling drones/textures?
- Should i commit to one brand (Korg vs Roland) for sync, or mix for best sound per layer?
- Anything you'd cut or swear by that I'm missing?
- Purely prefer the hands on aspect as i know VST would do this as well.
Budget matters but isn't everything, happy to build in tiers. Appreciate any input from the darker end of the genre!

Dark 🪦 Creepy Ominous Hardware Techno Jam 👻
This track has been kind of a pain in the ass but felt like sharing lol. First time trying out the symmetrix 501 and got a nasty bass line out of it. Still finalizing the mix/effects on this one but its in a solid place. Love how spooky it is Lmk what you think tho! Full vid in the comments. Thanks.
The virus is doing most the heavy lifting, the microwave has taken a back seat for more ambient/textural elements.
