Ambient Drones in Ableton Live
Музыка
In this video we’re going to use an arpeggiator, some reverb, and LFO modulation to create a soundscape that's both rich and constantly evolving.

Super super super cool!! Thanks so much!! Love your vibe and happiness ❤
Your natural enthusiasm is very contagious and makes me want to immerse myself into sound and music creation! Thank you so much!!!!
Love these videos and appreciate the support of other creators (e.g., Martin and Omri)! Such a class act! 😊
Love using random LFO's but wish they were seed based so once you'd tweaked them you could guarantee their repeatability. As it is I find I have to bake them down and then slice them up to ensure filter sweeps etc happen where I want them. Or I'll midi map them to an external controller and ride it multiple times.. It would be nice to be able to record the output of LFO's directly into automation lanes....

Assigning a macro to an LFO, you can’t record automation?
Awesome tutorial... thank you so much!
another enlightening tutorial / video - thank you so much!
Just tried it!!!! Awesome!!!
Nicely done Chris, I love your enthusiasm and passion.
Very cool video, thanks. I have one question though at 5:35 : what is the purpose of the Pro-R2 "grouping" ? I mean if you just put it on 100% wet, is that not the same as what you did with the chain and setting the level of "Chain" to -inf ? I mean it's still 100% wet, no ?

It creates a parallel signal which allows you to have access to a pure "dry" signal if you want to use it. I prefer it to having a "mix" control, but your own mileage may vary.

So cool! I know what I’m doing later! Thanks Chris!
Excellent tutorial Chris
Nice one Chris! I had missed commenting on this one, but I really like this approach way better than using something like Paulstretch for example (although that's cool too! , as the resulting drone has so much more life to it. 🔥
Great tutorial..... it made me to start a very chill erie new track
uff chris another banger. so inspiring
Chris works so hard man 🧍♂️ love this thanks 🙏🏻 Chris peace ☮️

Nice one, you always use my fav plugins, like Current which is last year's big surprise, it's an amazing synth and will maybe be my favorite synth all-time.
Great tutorial man. Omri Cohen is the man and I love his new channel *The Bitwig Mycelium*. Lately I have been using a lot Bitwig the Grid to make everything. I have a bunch of plugins but I think almost all things can be done inside the grid. Hive is amazing, one of my goto synths.
Takes some really smart people to make all these amazing 🥲 computer 🖥️ music tools 🧰 we use much love All peace ☮️
Great job fellow synth nerd! 😉
Some very good Tips here, as usual. Would love to see you dive a little more into the actual Mixing - Process, as this goes Hand in Hand with Sound - Design in Ambient Music, imho.
Hi, question: why do you have this EQ on the production channel strip like that? Is that to eq your headphones/speakers?

Hi there! I use the "Utility" template for Ableton Live. You can learn all about it in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dn6l1pmJhJq1Y7A.htmlsi=IPVn64804UhGuUrr

@@s1gns0fl1fe Ok cool, I use a similar template, I was just wondering about the EQ with the high and lowcuts and the 3 predefined cuts. I mean if it works, it works :) That's something I have not thought of. I use ARC3 in conjunction with an EQ and with said EQ I also pull out some frequencies that my ears are more sensitive to :)
Are the notes being played in a specific key?

I mentioned this when I was setting up the Stepic instance. I'm playing in C minor. Hope that helps!
Great tutorial, but I really don’t understand the point to have Grupped rack with reverb, while you could just add reverb with 100% and have the same effect
LFO i? Is that part of new update?

Just curious, what is your computer specs?, Current really eats up my CPU....

5900x, 32gb, 3600TI - Nothing outrageous! I would try lowering the voice count and avoiding unison and/or the granular engine. Hope that helps!
Where do you get the LFOi?
