Fresh new Ambient Walkthrough video!

I made good on my promise I made at the S1gns Circle and managed to record this one yesterday. In this video, I walk you through the first few steps I usually take when starting a Sequenced Space Ambient track. Everything from my thought process, to which sequencers I use, and then how those initial sequences come together. 

This is by no means a finished track, but it's a good solid start and that's the point of this tutorial. If you can begin to understand the process, you can then make your own sound decisions when you're sitting in front of your own workstation. Leave a like and a comment on this video...let's blow this one up!

Cheers and enjoy,

The Music Must Come Out 🔊

"No matter what, the music has to come out" is what someone very wise once told me. Let's start a space ambient track with a simple sequencer and see where it goes... ➡️ GET STEPIC: https://bit.ly/3QLkkmj 💖 Support this channel: https://bit.ly/3m7ox6T ⮟⮟⮟ Timecodes: ⮟⮟⮟ 0:00 Start 0:07 Sequenced Space Ambient Intro 0:35 First Steps 1:09 Stepic Sequencing Tutorial 2:45 First Sequence Result 3:50 Recording The First Sequence 5:47 Adding The Second Sequence 7:03 Designing a Patch in Hive 2 8:57 Adding a Bass 12:49 No Matter What The Music Has To Come Out 13:34 Adding a Third Sequence 15:10 Sequenced Space Ambient Result 17:16 Adding a Final Pad 20:12 How it All Comes Together 21:18 What Chords I Was Playing 22:25 Final Thoughts 23:28 Ending 🛒 LOOKING FOR NEW SOFTWARE?

Love your creation process, Chris. Sounds awesome, can’t wait to get started with your coaching!

Brad Ross-MacLeod

This was great, as usual. And I can get to this point in creating a track relatively easily. What I'd LOVE to see is how to take this and build it into a finished track. How would you create an intro? How would you build the parts up? That's where I get stuck most often.
