Ever found yourself wondering what software is used to make synthwave music? Maybe you're knee-deep in questions like Do DAWs sound different, is synthwave music hard to make, or even What is synthwave?  Then check out EP 123 of the Inside The Mix podcast.

Ring in the New Year with a fresh batch of sonic wisdom on Inside the Mix Podcast! As I unwrap the secrets of synthwave production on a tight budget, audio maestro Reagan Ramm joins me to set the record straight on his name and offers an arsenal of cost-effective tips. Discover the essentials of a good computer setup and how to choose the perfect DAW for your workflow. Reagan's pragmatic approach, honed on a budget, proves that passion and expertise can triumph over dollar signs in the pursuit of crisp, retro beats.

Finally, we tackle the myths around DAWs and the real deal behind music quality—it's less about the software and more about your input. I share my experience on how upgrading my gear revolutionised my recording sessions, and we discuss the power of mentorship and education in music production. Whether mixing on basic headphones or crafting the next chart-topper with stock plugins, this episode is packed with practical tips, including a spotlight on Reagan's Orpheus Audio Academy, to help you hit all the right notes in your musical journey.
