OFF THE GRID | Ambient Track Tutorial

[@infinitedurr]

One of my very favorite artists who does this all the time is Ishq. Not only is he an absolute master with music and mixing, but the way he incorporates long played passages with organic timing with sequenced pieces is really well done. Highly recommended to anyone not familiar

[@matthewbell1181]

Have to agree 100%. In addition to the artists on Synphaera, Ishq is amazing.

[@internalreality]

ive never seen Ishq being mentioned anywhere on youtube. i really love his stuff

[@infinitedurr]

@@internalreality he's one of my musical heroes and absolute favorites

I stopped using drums in my music over the last year and a half. I made house and techno for over 10 years now just strictly Ambient soundscapes and I love it. Another great video.

[@auedpo]

Wow! I searched up some drone sound design videos for vital and your channel was recommended. I've been hooked for the last 1.5hrs watching your content. Thank you for sharing your excitement and knowledge about music! Its a joy to watch you create and to enjoy doing it - it's a great encouragement and reminder for myself about why I got into making music. Cheers :)

Wonderful tutorial, thank you! Martin Stürtzer once talked about the BPM in the DAW just doesn't matter, the Delay itself gives you a feeling for tempo (if you need or want to) - I made an off grid Ambient song some month ago and showed it to a work mate - he's into producing Acid House - and asked me "how much BPM is this Song?" and I said "... I'm sorry, I really don't know" 😂 Sometimes the "tempoless" Pads or drones played or "painted" improvised feel to be the most worthy "songstructures" to build up a whole Song around- Thank you Chris for your tutorials, they really really help to just do music instead of feeling "not to be professional enough"🙂

I have done this off-grid stuff a few times, but what I'm now learning from you is the importance of being intentional about planning the spectrum build-up and keeping the frequencies out of each other's way. Thanks! I think this will make a big difference to my results.

Off the Grid, is the Road to Freedom.

[@taoporoject]

Nothing beats producing off the grid. It takes some time to get used to but once mastered, it's the ultimate freedom to create music.

[@ilyandilymusic]

I somehow missed this video when you first dropped it. Such a great tutorial and inspiration! I usually can’t get through your videos because I always get so inspired to just jump in my DAW and create!!!

[@StarMaze]

I learned already so much from Chris! I subscribed a few months ago to his Ambient Coaching on Patreon. So I can highly recommended it for all those who are still in doubt. Chris challenges you to make and produce better tracks and give you plenty of tips & tricks on the way.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Thank you so much Star Maze! Cheers to you.

[@LucaRossoDeVita]

Very interesting approach. Crossfading between chords is something we often do without focusing too much about it, because of the attack and release values of the envelopes, so it happens a chord goes in not precisely in time with the clock, good thing for a pad, it adds movement, but this method is really advancing the concept, it's real freedom in harmonic progression. A great ace up everyone's sleeve. Nice tutorial here.

[@sound.silence]

Bro…you are so versed with Vital it blows me away. So effortless and inspirational!! Thanks for this tutorial.

[@Luftrum1]

'Textured Memories' yeah baby! 💯

[@gylp2]

this sounds bloody amazing love you vids Chris 👍

[@DavidRutterGuitarCrayzee]

Hi Chris, I love the look on your face @ 6.50 as you are obviously thinking - oooh this sounds goood lol :)

[@advaita9156]

Such a good tutorial, so simple but I bet a lot of ambient producers produce on grid. It makes much more sense producing ambient off grid

[@largefatherbassmusic]

Absolute madlad.

[@soundsoftheearth1]

Thanks for this film. Would you consider to make film about making ambience sounds in ableton 11 live lite for beginners? Thanks in advance 🙏

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Count on it!

[@jaixiviii]

Really good. Just stop with “finding the right sound”, 😅😂🤣 😎✌️

[@freshlocalwoodchimps]

so glad i discovered your tutorials! love your enthusiasm and its been really easy to follow along, i feel like ive learned an incredible amount just from watching a few of your videos so far! i was wondering if you take tutorial requests! if so would you be willing to maybe do a tutorial on how to make ambient tracks similar to Mount Shrine? i feel like you would like his work! check out his recent posthumous album "All Roads Lead Home" or "Southeast Limits" anyways, cheers! definitely subscribed and staying for what tutorials come next!

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

I love Mount Shrine! Cheers and thanks for the positive feedback.

[@internalreality]

amazing channel and amazing work, i'm a huge ambient head and for the past few months ive been using my digitone synth for creating very rich atmospheres. have you ever tried using an fm synth for ambient music?

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Love FM synthesis! It's one of my favorites. Cheers!

[@internalreality]

@@s1gns0fl1fe i started my journey with synths from FM with the Digitone, what do you think would be the logical next step?

[@andytuke8986]

After watching a number of these videos, I've suddenly realised how much I like this style of ambient music. I need to find some decent artists or mixes on KZbin or Spotify. Any recommendations, because my initial searches are finding stuff labelled as Ambient that doesn't sound much like this, more like elevator music?

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Check our our record labels Synphaera Records and exosphere. Also Ultimae Records from France.

[@antareskan4952]

i start with ableton and the music i want to explore more ambiant, music all your tutos is so incredibles, and practice me so much, i just want to know if one day its possible to make some tutos for zen or méditative skill music, because i dont understand why, i get all the time sad music sound, not sun light beautifull and more healing style, i used major key, good pads etc but i dont know where the prob, thx much for your vidéos your tutos really thx
