For the Ambient Presets tier and up!

With so many ways to start making an ambient track, it can sometimes be overwhelming to know here to start. In this video, I go over how to take a simple concept and create an ambient track around that concept. From composition, to technique, and even going over some of the ideas around mixing to create a wide stereo field using frequency separation. 

I made this track exclusive to the Ambient Presets tier and up so all of you can get a good idea of the kind of tutorials that I bring you each and every month as members of my Patreon. Thank you all so much for being here and I hope you find this one useful! If you have any ideas for future tutorials, leave them in the comments below. 

Cheers and enjoy,

This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. Do you mind if I save this for Preset Feedback 3? It'll just be an audio file, but through some analysis I might be able to suggest a few things.

Waveform

Excellent video! In case you are trying to figure out how to do this in Cubase, simply select Export-Audio Mixdown-Single track and select the track in question. (You could assign this to a shortcut Key command) - "Render In Place" doesn't seem to work with Paul X Stretch in Cubase.
