The Synthwave Sound Formula
Iconic synthwave (pioneered by Kavinsky, Justice, and Daft Punk) relies on sidechain compression: triggering a gain dip on synth leads and bass whenever the kick drum strikes. This creates the signature rhythmic "pumping" effect, allowing the sub-bass kick to cut cleanly through warm analog sawtooth harmonics.
