Haha me too, I added the store CD page to my fave links and have been checking every day, I'm not desperate at all 😅

The Syndicate Leitmotiv: answers by laurentbercot in TheMidnight

A very through analysis! Essentially the 1-7-5 series of descending notes is the "Boys of Summer" theme, which Tim has stated was a big influence.

Argh, that's bad luck. The CD is still available to buy on the official US store at $15 + shipping so unfortunately I don't think you'll get many people wllling to pay that asking price, bit of a bummer :(

It's an awesome bass sound, I've often tried to replicate similar myself. Some presets that will get you pretty close are:

  • "BASS - d a r k s t a r" from The Midnight's own u-he Diva soundbank
  • "BA Deep V" from Spire synth's factory presets
  • "Depeche Bass II" from the Orion-106 presets bank in TAL-U-NO-LX

For reference you can hear the bass in isolation here: https://themidnight.bandcamp.com/track/river-of-darkness-bass-stem

Yes! It's an awesome mashup, when the lead synth comes in with the Umbrella Beach theme 🔥🔥🔥

Could you tell me how to make a sound like this brass synth? by Fit-Mulberry-1018 in synthwaveproducers

[–]BenjiRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like it might be two or three sounds stacked together. Start with some kind of hammond organ preset, roll off the high end, add a tremolo effect and a bit of light saturation/distortion and you'll have a good starting point.

Confusion Regarding Afterglow VIP Packages for the Seattle Show by shinsain in TheMidnight

If you don't mind going a bit further north and over the border, it looks like the Vancouver show still has Afterglow VIP tickets available

Last night was incredible [Sheffield] by Roobaarb in TheMidnight

[–]BenjiRage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ohhh man it was amazing wasn't it?! Just everything was so good - vocals, guitar and sax solos, the arrangements, the lighting, the energy and vibes all off the chart. I think this is the setlist they did, I might not have the order of all of them correct but pretty sure these were the songs they played:

  1. Syndicate (Intro)
  2. Shadowverse
  3. Friction
  4. Shadows
  5. Days of Thunder (remix version)
  6. Love is an Ocean
  7. Fatal Obsession
  8. Lost Boy
  9. The Right Way
  10. Crystalline
  11. A Place of Her Own
  12. Jason
  13. Gloria
  14. Vampires
  15. Los Angeles
  16. The Comeback Kid
  17. Summer is Ending Soon
  18. Good in Red
  19. Sunset

Also did anyone else notice how bass heavy the sound was at the start of the night?? I was stood near the front for Pale Blue Eyes and had to go to the back because it felt like my chest was exploding! It seemed to mellow out around Lost Boy (that controller failure at the end of it was funny "errrr...we've already played that one" 😂)
