I enjoy how you both use music theory,,,,,, and break the rules and it still sounds good.

[@frankr.6578]

Instructive, inspiring & entertaining... YT's top end... thx!

[@VVhiteCore]

hell I didn't even know I wanted to make ambient music till this video thanks bro

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Amazing comment!

[@RobertLiveMusic]

Great inspiration and enthusiasm. Thank you very much from Spain.

[@lorien6678]

This is one of most rare and awesome guides here. I wish to see more stuff like this and hope you never stop creating stuff like this. It deserves to be very unique. Greets from Poland.

[@Rose_Arcana]

This was great to see. You make it look easy. I usually sit down and just meander and get lost. I have alot of starts but no finishes. Hey Chris we all wanna hear the final track???

[@wolflumin]

The way you created that texture is something I would not have thought of... I'd usually been creating chords with theory and intention, so this spontaneous chord evolving out of the reverb tails of all the notes washing over each other through supermassive was like... I'll say it's opened the door to a lot of experimentation for me. You turned me on to stepic and I've been using it in all kinds of ways to make textural sounds--it's like gold from pure randomness which usually random generators sounded very artificial and lifeless to me--apparently I was just using them wrong! Thank you for sharing your processes and insights with the world, you're a treasure.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Made my day! Thank you so much.

[@RobbieHogg1]

Only just found your channel man, love it. Awesome video and great inspiration. 👽🤘

[@nathanbryers]

Making music every day bro 🥳

[@thesilful]

So nice to listen to

[@sound.silence]

Just an amazing and eye opening journey. Thanks Chris!

[@vincentsky]

Awesome Chris... love the peek into your brain/process and to see it in action, evolve. That Omnisphere/Granular texture was 🔥

[@cas9llimitlesstechno579]

You're a legend

[@PaulCollierMusic]

I'm binge watching your stuff Chris, amazing, beautiful sounding results but such clear explanations how you got there. Just perfect!

[@tycorgc]

Fantastic video Chris, your energy inspires.

[@user-xl8ri4uq5e]

This theme really helped me a lot. please continue.Thanks Chris!!

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Will do! Cheers.

Awesome video! Thanks a lot for this little voyage into the ambient creation. Subscribed.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Cheers and thank you!

[@waveform-synths]

“an endless well of immediacy of imagination” - awesome as always!

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

That's probably the coolest thing I've ever said on this channel. Unscripted!

[@graysynther2169]

Your enthusiasm spares me on, struggling with my eyes at the moment ,fast approaching giving up synthesis ,but hearing What can be accomplished,you’ve kinda spared me on ( uk for give ma a kick up the but) 🙏🏽

[@sleeptwitch8950]

Love the enthusiasm as always haha. Very inspirational.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

My pleasure bro! Hope you learned something new here.

[@synkrotron]

Lovely stuff, Chris... great to see you at work and I love your enthusiasm :-) cheers andy

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Thank you so much Andy! Saw you picked up the Starterra album today too. Cheers to you and enjoy!

[@synkrotron]

@@s1gns0fl1fe Yes! Late to the party as usual... I really wasn't aware of your Starterra stuff! Must have been living in a cave :-( Great album, and right up my street at the moment :-)

[@osea-later5692]

beautiful. thanks

[@krinovita]

I love it thanks

[@jaroslawtrzybinski]

This is what I was waiting for.

[@Calazzus]

I’ve been wanting to compose space ambient. I appreciate the knowledge. Some of the stuff on KZbin is just 10 minutes of lush pad chords. I like ambient music with creative variations.

[@tomh6569]

Fantastic Chris! It's like you crawled inside the "space in my head" and produced a journey that I have been after for many months. I am going to immediately apply your thoughts to my next project and we'll see what comes out on the other side. Thanks very much!

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

That's awesome Tom! I'm glad you got something out of it. More like this in the future. Cheers friend!

[@OctaveLeapLive]

Just became a MUCH better ambient producer after watching this - wow!

[@krinovita]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@travesdymusic]

Brilliant my friend!!

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Really good video

[@HpBeck_Fieldrecordings]

**Made with Heart and Soul** Love it*********

[@Hyper_Dreamer]

Love your videos, so clear, pragmatic and loaded with tips. Do you have one like this for dark ambient? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!❤️

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

I’m definitely going to make one. Stay tuned!

[@adriandavidsmith]

This was great! You have a video for this ambient stuff with a beat? Great video!

[@basislager5321]

Thanx Chris! I am always curious what you will do and introduce. I like the way you do everything and explain it "easily". maybe you can also listen to me once in a while. thank you micha

[@JerryVandenBosch]

Signs of Intelligent Life here - Amazing piece

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Thank you so much! Cheers.

[@PhilippEmilHerrmann]

Thanks for sharing, that was super detailed and incredibly helpful. And your enthusiasm is really inspiring! I am interested in what you think you get out of the Microcosm that you don't with software effects. I hear a lot of good things but would be interested in your view.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Thanks for the positive feedback! I plan on doing a deep dive Microcosm video in the future - specifically for ambient. It is a pretty special pedal indeed. Pedals are always hard to describe but it does have that "sound" if you're looking for it. State Azure uses it perfectly. I think it can really add some modulation and dimension to sounds, especially hardware. Is it "better" than software? Not really, but then again it does a ton of stuff that most single software effects don't do! Like all Hologram pedals, it's unpredictable - which is sometimes half the fun.

[@PhilippEmilHerrmann]

Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out for that video and take a look at State Azure.

[@Flux_One]

Wow what a journey. Holy shit haha

[@epicrelaxingambientmusic8342]

do you by any chance cover flstudio 20 too ?

[@foxcannon]

This is my absolute dream, to make this kind of music. My only complaint is that this kind of doesn't show me how to start using this kind of software, do you have any tips?

[@foxcannon]

Also, did you ever post this song somewhere? It's absolutely beautiful.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

I have videos on my channel specifically for the beginner. Have a look!

[@mysterienvril]

So for the beginning drone track there, you have riffer playing the serum pad and through the effects pedal which is pumping out audio instead of MIDI? I have both Riffer and Serum and when I record onto the track it is MIDI.... I am just confused on how you have turned Riffer and Serum MIDI into audio there.

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

The thing that you're missing is I'm using the "External Audio Effect" plugin on a MIDI track. It's sending MIDI data to the track and audio the signal from Serum to actual hardware effects pedals and then I recorded it. Hope that helps!

[@mysterienvril]

@@s1gns0fl1fe Thanks!

[@mithrandir404]

which video is the 999 trick in?

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

Tons of them! Short answer: just record your generated MIDI at 999 and play it back at normal tempo. It's just a time saver for printing data!
