  • Summary

  • How The Cars’ ‘Drive’ became an 80s classic ballad, blending synth innovation and heartfelt storytelling. Discover the emotional heart behind ‘Drive’ and the groundbreaking synths that made it unforgettable. This week I dive into how Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova’s connection brought emotional depth to this classic love song and the synth breakdown setup that defined its sound. I recreate “Drive” in my studio, using vintage and software tools to get as close to the original sound as possible. Plus I´ll show you how to use Logic Pro synths and plugins, including reverb, EQ, and other effects, to emulate the original track’s sound. Thank you for the support and Subscribe for more nostalgic synth and music explorations as I recreate classics like ‘Drive.
