From Simple Concept to Full Ambient Track

[@poobens]

It's not only what you teach, it's the way how you do it that makes me so inspired watching your tutorials. You can really see how much you love making this stuff, and how much you get excited when a piece comes together. Really incredible! Love this!

Chris, your channel is such an inspiration. I am a musician myself, I do band work, I am sitting less behind my PC to make music. But your words of inspiration goes beyond the ambient style of music. You make beautifull music while recording these videos. It gives me a lot of inspiration for my own music (which is not ambient, more rock). I might even try to start with ambient myself, your videos are such an inspiration. Thank you, for what you do !!

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Made my day! Thank you so much. 🙏

[@watkins7086]

Dude your channel is amazing

[@itinerantghost]

This was sooo good, Chris! Love having one video I can reference for inspiration that can get me from start to finish

[@astralmuse]

Pure Gold...

[@ANDYROBINSONFOLK]

thank you for making the music that is in my head happen right in front of me over the lenght of this video. IIt reminds me of Banco De Gaias Last Train To Lhasa album. More specifically, the second cd in the limited edition version. I have spent hours lost in it's stereo drifting arpeggiators gently morphing. He did it without the modern tools and I am trying to create some music inspired by that album. You have helped me to maybe get a little further in my journey. I was tranced out on your music by the end. Beautiful.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Made my day! Thank you so much.

[@BorealBlue]

The workflow details are great. The insights, even more so. Thank you.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Pure brilliance Chris! I love how you described creating the soundscape.

[@paul_bismuth]

🤔Hello , are you sure Omnisphere is your favorite vst ? Because....I did not see all your videos, but all the one I've seen had a lack of omnisphere in common ! 🙂

[@jaixiviii]

Insane Share! ❤

[@arjenarend7755]

Hi Chris , amazing track again and this Phaseplant is great!! , were to find Ancient Technology II ??

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

It will be released next month on material.bandcamp.com - Cheers!

[@gylp2]

Have YOU ever tryed using YOU effekt pedals on the return channels if YOU know HOW to do THIS IN ableton it whil be awesome with a tutorial on HOW to do it

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Yeah it's totally possible. Two things 1.) Use the external audio effect plugin and 2.) make sure that the mix level on hardware effect is 100%. Keep in mind that by using any external hardware plugins you have to bounce out in real time.

[@LoveHarmonic]

It’s that Easy 😂 hahahahahaha “(ambient music) gave the opportunity for untalented people to make very boring music.” - Salome Voegelin, Listening to Noise and Silence. The implication that making tracks is easy only amplifies this theory. Have you ever read Salome’s book. If not I would suggest taking a look before considering writing a book of your own. If we were to look at some of the most inspiring texts that have influenced ambient music I think we would find that they are not focused on “tips and tricks” nor “fundamentals of synthesis” they are about the art. They are about the life. They come from the founders of the form, Curtis Roads, Gareth Loy, Salome Voeglin and others.

[@kamildvoracek]

This is seriously a great channel, so much inspiration. Could you do a tutorial on how to make spiritual music like for example on this channel @angelicalmeditacion4344 ?

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

You can apply the techniques I share to that type of ambient. It's deep ambient/drone music. Use long pads and don't forget the bass.

[@PhilippBaumann]

Great Tutorial! THX Chris
