Is anyone making ambient?


Let us hear you!

Hi @graham 

Thanks! Those are some great tips. The random notes and arps tip is something I'd never considered before, but makes total sense.

I'll check out that youtube. 

Will keep you posted when I produce something worthwhile...

How about Sub bass processing? For such an important part of a track, it would be good to know a bit more about how to get a smooth, chunky sound.

Nice Jungly flavas on this one. Good start, can see this track developing into something very Metalheadz-y. Maybe keep an ey on the reverb on the main snare - seems a bit too much, could do with toning down

Event Horizon - Second Track

Very nice Manix!

Well produced and a good arrangement which keeps it interesting throughout. Reminds me of Astrixx.

Saturation


DAW or Software Questions

I've heard lots of good things about a lot of saturation plugins - waves kramer tape, output thermal, ableton's stock saturation, saturn. I was wondering what experiences/knowledge others had and which one to go for for an intermediate producer?

Analogue vs digital plugins


DAW or Software Questions

I love using Waves plugins - and quite often they have an 'analog' button. I love pressing it but never really knew what the difference was or whether I could hear it! A friend eventually told me that it essentially just added some noise/tape hiss. Overall, it definitely warms up your music. Some plugins like the arturia stuff also add voltage randomisation ie a slight wobble in the sound to emulate the variation of voltage that happens with real currents! I have say arturia stuff is the best analog emulations ive ever heard!
