[@AFGautonompunk]

much appreciated, thanks!

[@dismalfist]

YESSS! First time hearing about Black Hole, this is EXACTLY what I need. THANK YOU!

[@jamesdean3548]

Thanks for zooming the camera in the moment you said the plugin was "amazing". Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get that true feeling of amazement!

[@atmobeat]

Eventide's Blackhole Plugin is currently on sale @26.95 EUR - just bought it! Thank you so much, Tom. This sounds absolutely awesome.

[@diode86]

You have no idea how much you just saved me, with these few secs demo on pro q3 and it's dynamic mode... Thank you!

[@TomLJWhite]

Thanks for the love on this everyone... I've now uploaded a video of the best FREE plugins for ambient: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIivdYCthpx2jJY

Hi Tom As a keen ambient hobbyist , I really like Eventide Blackhole. A very versatile plugin for all sorts of ambient vibes.Its when you find those hidden gems of presets and really start to make your own discoveries its amazing Also worth a mention is the range of Valhalla plugins,which I am a fan of.All excellent and so versatile .

[@christopherbryan4199]

This was fantastic, would love to see more of these!

[@stephanbuth8195]

Always a pleasure to hear the great voice of a creator. No AI Voice needed😀 And thanks for your helpful video.

[@jetlag1488]

Old video I know and you might already know this but you can activate a band's dynamic mode in Pro-Q by using the ring around the gain knob.

[@mlaurentiu]

Your music is simply beautiful.

[@CraftyOldGit]

Blackhole reverb currently on sale (June 2023) for $29.

[@Arperture]

Blackhole is okay. Much like a paired down Space pedal. I prefer the Valhalla Shimmer though.

[@synthworxswx8709]

I love that first plugin mate it is excellent on vocals for adding that little extra stem reverb tail end which I use a lot in my music. Thank you so much for this wonderful review cheers mate

[@mjusick42]

AudioThing Outer Space (Roland RE-201 emulation +extras) is really worth a try for Ambient Music!!

[@BlackDragonStudio]

I use the reverb built into Studio One and so far I am very impressed by how close it sounds to blackhole.

[@BlackDragonStudio]

@Daniel Drader No, I just use the one that comes by default.

[@ItsPomodoro]

Blackhole is great! And it is currently on sale for $29

[@joecosta8304]

Hey Tom, You made it so clear in this video.Thanks a ton for the help.I ll be around checking your videos and learning.

[@dogfaceboye2906]

subscribing because of the 1st dry soft gentle melody. LUSH

[@joshhuxleyisdead]

I’ve been seeing blackhole around a lot but I didn’t know it was this good damn

[@dagermansandshrew6733]

Yesssss was hoping you'd do a video on this! Thank you!

[@batisat.]

your home is absolutely fantastic.

[@screamingswifts]

PRO Q3 is easily on my top shelf. Expensive, but worth it all, imho. Fab.

[@LauraScarborough]

This such an inspiring video thank you!

[@oceansailing7415]

what's been the hardest part about creating so much music? and honestly how do you stay so inspired?

[@lucianocatarin9176]

Hey man,i think another incredible plugins for atmosphere/elettronic/ ambient music Is Paulstretch ,and the reverb spacedout

[@garaughty]

Eventide's Blackhole is insanely versatile & awesome on so many levels !

[@karadytube]

You have a new subscriber and a great respect, thank you.

[@HermanvanGelder]

arturia has a credible space echo as a plugin. My goto delay nowadays is NI Replika XT, similar to echoboy but much cheaper and you don't need iLock

[@JohnTussey]

Thank you! Brilliant! Your music is stellar!

[@SonOfWalhall]

Free dynamic EQ would be TDR Nova. Free 5 band and does the same thing as the one mentioned. (But "only" 5 bands)

[@quantumfields]

Hi Tom Thanks for the recommendations. Blackhole made a big difference for my sound. Do you have any recommendations for drums and percussion loops and sounds?

[@DancingMeditation]

Great video and great suggestions! Actually, I cannot think of any better delay/reverb for ambient music than Valhalla delay. For me, it is better than Echoboy and Black hole combined. And it costs only 50 euros!

[@rhodesy80]

Really nice music Tom and great video pal, 😎✌

[@nathanielwise508]

Question for Q&A: If I only write music on a "casual" basis not full time, is it still possible to get tracks placed in libraries? Any tips on how to do so effectively?

[@PipeChoir]

Thank you for this excellent video!

[@beatskool101]

I've been EQ'ing before the reverb, ie not sending the frequencies into it, but with many reverb's already having the low cut & some the high cut too. wonder if adding another is worth the trouble or CPU use. Audio Things Space Echo seems to be stereo, took a whole to find the extra stuff hidden at the bottom which isn't on the hardware as far as I know

[@karadytube]

Do you have a step-by-step guide for mixing (eq, reverb, echo ..etc) and mastering the ambient track?

[@Xbot4Life]

Do you do some videos on using these tools please?

[@8VV88]

amazing plugins. can I add them to Ableton live 11?

[@kg_drums]

Yes

[@SergePraded]

what piano is playing at 12:06? very nice tone!

[@fallenleaf24]

Tokyo dawn nova is a dynamic EQ & free. It’s really good. Tho it’s no pro Q but it’s very good for what it is

[@lX-NDR]

Cherry audio space echo is amazing.

[@jonathancarey8180]

Mate, awesome vid! Another verb to check out that's insanely lush and cool to experiment with, is Irid by Tritik. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed 😎

Hey Man! Great vídeo! Liked and subscribed!

[@DaveHillJr]

Thanks for sharing your process and production knowledge.

[@leondsouza4253]

Im a beginner into this...can I know how you created that synth track I loved it

[@albertdany5657]

thanks alot for Echoboy n Blachole

[@wound123]

Awesome , dope video. I love it :)

[@div-64]

Well done. Thank you.

[@EmilienBandrac]

This video was funny to watch because I almost only use Blackhole and even more EchoBoy for effects (others than drive, EQ, compression). No Fabfilter ProQ3 tho but I have Ozone Dynamic EQ as alternative.

[@alteregothehi-qs5774]

Thanks for sharing! Very helpful!

[@pjdahmen]

Thank you for the great Tutorial!

[@catheirs]

Excellent advice, thank you so much!!! Blessings!

[@frankfable]

Thank you, a great video. Blackhole and Echo boy are still on Blackfriday sale, I think I will get them 🙏

[@PhaseRunnerMusic]

Great video, will be picking these up🔥

[@enlightenednihilist]

thank you so so much. i can't believe it's so easy!

[@GrootsieTheDog]

A word that makes my shill radar go off: "essential". As an artist, I would never tell another artist that something is "essential" (other than curiosity and hardwork) to create anything. Essential in this context (pushing product) is a word for salesmen.

[@CrisPearson]

I don't disagree, however it's not necessarily the case. In addition, it's these kind of titles that make people click on a thumbnail and actually watch a video. Our own humanity and algorithms in a battle.

[@JackB_Music]

What spitfire audio plugin is that please. Thank you!

[@danielhorton5105]

Do you get royalties for the music you use in music libraries and film scoring and stuff? And does that fall under publishing?

[@Study_Sleep_Chill]

Chapters would be great for this video.

[@leondsouza4253]

Could you please let me know your OB Xa V preset for that synth arp part please

[@jamesbastani4295]

What kind of DAW are you using? Cubase 12 Pro has many different Steinberg FX that are just as good.

[@xxleben85]

What’s playing in the background

[@Katkattarotandparanormal]

I wonder about vocals on black hole

[@LeneLarsenNorway]

I got the total chills. Thank you. I wanted to do a super thanks, but it just keeps going back to confirm, so I am so sorry, it did not work!

[@LeneLarsenNorway]

You got my subscribe tho, so I'll try again another time!

[@SeangleMusic]

Súper vídeo, thanks! What microphones did you record the acoustic piano with? It sounds incredible

[@oscaryuan_]

Damn I want to get that blackhole reverb so bad

[@DetoxMC]

How do you work out your progressions, i get lost in the middle and i am not sure where else to go as far as profressions

[@dranbeatstation2710]

Great video! New suscribe here!

[@Garnassium]

Thanks for the video!

[@lazuli9548]

Hello i have a question. What genre of music do you produce/compose?

[@kpax9852]

I'm wondering how can I make stuff like Hotel Neon?

[@ToreHansen]

Cool video, I have 580 VST, most free and they work great if learn to use them.. Valhalla is a bonkers free Reverb.

[@shyghoststudios2583]

Any update on your vocal EP?

[@boboscurse4130]

Good stuff!

[@Xantanic]

Is the Blackhole good for ambient vocals??

[@krokus5714]

¡¡Madre mía qué estudio!

[@Flux_One]

Great review for some amazing plugins, but they total $600. Could you recommend some free or budget plugins for producers that aren't making money on their music?

[@andy-simmons]

Check out Deelay and Valhalla Supermassive. Both free.

[@Flux_One]

@@andy-simmons cheers. I have Supermassive but will check out Deelay 👍

[@joseignacioperezsabatini8038]

I'm just starting and I don't really want to spend that much money on the plugins, are there ane good free options for each of those?

[@marcosordelli9544]

Which mics are you using to record Piano?

[@Nicolasin-yn9mu]

Just snagged it for $49, totally by accident whilst I blew more money on the summer sales! 😅

[@mohammadebrahimi5205]

pls how to make a tutorial about ambient and soundscaping song

Please type for example "before and after fx" on screen, instead of pausing the sound and saying something.

Are there any free alternatives to blackhole reverb that sound just as good???

[@marcotronic]

Valhalla Supermassive

[@JairajSinghPatil]

Valhalla vintage verb vs blackhole?

[@rayderrich]

Very nice recommendations. I guess it is time to sell my Lexicon MPX-1 hardware and get into soft reverbs.

[@crysstoll1191]

Those are three of the zillion plugins that are good for ambient. Best? Dunno, best is a silly word.

[@mucksheen]

bro you gorgeous

Got here from your emetophobia video and I'm wondering if you overcame it? Or if it got better at least? Sometimes I feel like I'm never gonna get over it ;(
