Here's another exclusive video for the Ambient Tutorials tier and up!

I'm near the finish line on Anomaly 2 for Vital and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts when it comes to putting together your own soundset.  

I know some of you have been working hard on your own sound designs and I'm right there with you! Putting in those extra touches and compiling your first preset pack can be a crazy experience. Hopefully some of these tips help you out!

If there's any video topics you'd like to see covered for the Ambient Tutorials tier, let me know. 

Bonus question: if you want to see me make a soundset for a particular synth, fire away!

Cheers,

Do you have experience with Iris2? The synth is a bit special...

Great vid chris! It's really cool to see what goes on behind the curtain of making a soundset :) I mention this before but a soundset for Thorn could be very interesting! As for video topics, mixing could be an interesting. But to be completely honest i tend to learn much more from your videos were you just create a track, like most of your live streams. So much valuable knowledge comes from those streams and they are so inspirational man :D

I loved the tips about using the modwheel and after touch. Typically not something I add, but all the good presets I like do use them!

I've been designing presets for DUNE for a few months and can't state how important your advice is, so thank you once again! I would say a 10 or 15 minute video on designing one really cool preset in DUNE 3 would be my request :)

Hey, thank you to giving us the opportunity to suggest some topics for the ambient tutorials. I feel a tutorial on sound design of "ear candy", SFX or ambient drums would be some topics that could complete my journey on ambient production.
