# Synthwave Production: My Workflow In this guide I show you how I create my Synthwave tracks - from the first idea to the finished master. ## Tools & Tech Stack ### AI Production - **Suno AI**: For initial track generation - Precise prompts for Synthwave sound - Integration of Balkan melodies ### Post-Production - **Audacity**: EQ, Compression, Mastering - **VHS Effects**: For nostalgic touch - **Sample Integration**: 90s Balkan sounds ## The Workflow ### 1. Conception (30 Min) - Define theme - Define mood (nostalgic, melancholic, euphoric) - Choose BPM (100-120 for Synthwave) ### 2. AI Generation (1 Hour) - Create Suno prompts - Generate multiple variants - Select best version ### 3. Post-Production (2-3 Hours) - Mastering in Audacity - Add VHS effects - Integrate Balkan samples - Create variants (Original, Slowed, Extended) ### 4. Distribution (1 Hour) - Upload to all platforms - Optimize metadata - Create artwork ## Tips for Beginners 1. **Start Simple**: Don't start too complex 2. **Nostalgia is Key**: Build in real emotions 3. **Quality > Quantity**: Better one good track than ten mediocre ones 4. **Community**: Get feedback and learn The magic lies in the details.
