Default Finished an 80's inspired Synthwave album!

Hello all!

I posted on here about a year ago when I was just getting into my groove (literally) I made one very 80s inspired song called Renegade. Since then, I've made a full roster of tracks and compiled them into an album all using Reaper! The DAW is truly amazing I can't believe how versatile it is, especially for the price point.

Anyway, I thought I would share it here for your enjoyment. Here are the links:

fuck yes dude. I'm a big Synthwave fan. You just got your first YouTube subscriber.

You should contact NewRetroWave for promotion on their channel.

Thank you for the kind words! Hopefully I've piqued your interest in Synthwave/Retro Synth music.

@KolbStomp r/outrun would be another good place to promote your album.

Yeah!! Outrun stuff like Carpenter Brut, Perturbator and Magic Sword is was got me into the genre (Thanks, Hotline Miami) I'm subscribed to /r/outrun and /r/futuresynth so I posted it in both. I got a couple upvotes on futuresynth but in outrun it didn't get any upvotes unfortunately, just kind of got ignored. Some people on that board are weird though, they define outrun with really specific details. I saw a post awhile ago where some people were wondering why Com Truise wasn't posted more often and the top comment said "it's not outrun" when I'd totally consider it to be in the genre. It's not a big deal though this is only my first release.

I'm not a fan of reddit, even the reaper group there isn't very supportive of content creators.

Hey if you're ever in the Burnaby area I'd love to meet up to chat

Haha really you're in Burnaby? That would be really cool to meet up for a beer or something. I'm actually heading out to Vancouver this July! I've never really performed live but a friend wants me play some stuff at her Birthday party. So I'm considering practising up and doing a small set with my Volca Sample and Volca FM. Of course that is if my FM arrives in time, it's back ordered until late June at this point.

EDIT: I'll PM you with my info, add me on Facebook or something.
