Content

Producing ambient music is all about telling a story and making sure that every part that is added gives context to what's already there. With each tutorial, I try and offer up a glimpse at my own personal process so you can start to make more conscious decisions in your own production process with every new track you make. Even if it's a few things I said, or just watching me go through my own workflow can be helpful and send you off in the right direction.

I want to give a special shoutout to those of you who are reading this who understand my vision with what I'm doing here! These tutorials are valuable and hold weight in the ambient community and I want you to benefit as much as possible.

If you haven't heard me say it before, thank you for your continued support on Patreon! (You know who you are)

Cheers and enjoy,

Chris | S1gns Of L1fe
