So classic Synthwave, I'd assume would use 808 samples or reverby rock drums.
Also, does classic Synthwave use side-chaining (and Cutoff Frequencies on the Master)? I thought it was more brick-wall-of-sound hahaha. It's so well produced. EDIT) The pads seem legit. Bass could be a bit more squelch-y sounding imo. With some bowm bowm sounds.
