Is anyone making ambient?
Let us hear you!
Hey @tamlinspeaks
I have dabbled in Ambient, mostly just jamming out on the Push. It's fun.
Two key elements you will need:
- A synth that lets you build evolving pads, so something which allows a lot of modulation options. Vital, Pigments and Hive are good. Best to use more than one, for variety.
- A step sequencer to generate random notes and arps. I like Stepic (because it lets you sequence modulation as well), and Euclidian Sequencer Pro (its a Max4Live instrument).
Find some patches that work well together and then lay down some pads and a simple bass line to anchor the sound, then improvise on top of that with synth and foley patches, or throw a sequencer at them.
There is a YouTube channel called S1gns of L1fe run by Chris, who has many awesome tutorial videos if you are looking for more inspiration.
