Layered vintage synths, LinnDrum grooves, shimmering guitar textures, and expansive ’80s pop production inspired by Songs from the Big Chair.
The full remake, played through in Ableton Live.
Tears for Fears’ Everybody Wants to Rule the World was one of the defining singles from 1985’s Songs from the Big Chair, combining bright FM synths, sampled drums, MIDI sequencing, and layered guitars into one of the most recognisable productions of the decade.
This remake recreates the full arrangement in Ableton Live using Arturia Prophet-5 V, DX7 V, CMI V, and PPG Wave, with layered DX7 factory presets, Fairlight-style choir textures, sequenced bass synths, LinnDrum and DMX-inspired drum programming, and rhythm and lead guitar recordings.
Each remake comes as two ZIP downloads: the full Ableton Live project with every track frozen, and multitrack WAV stems for every audio track with MIDI files for every MIDI part.
Includes 1 project · 1.2 GB zipped · instant download
