How To Make A Song Like Mk.gee (How Many Miles, Candy, I Want, Breakthespell)

In this video, I dive into how to make a song like Mk.gee! We cover how to create unique guitar tones, program nostalgic synths and drums, add spacey vocal production, and more! NOTE - I apologize that my mic is cutting out a little. I am using my new computer for the first time and the gate setting on OBS was a little too high.
