Love the textures, the randomness, and as I've mentioned before in another video, your enthusiasm. My only constructive critique my friend, is when you apply motes, the chord possibilities were good, but I rarely hear any melodic phrasing outside of some interesting arpegiated parts. Your music would be spot on if it had some melody. That's not to say your work isn't melodic. It is. It just doesn't keep the listener (I'll guess) remembering some melody. It's likely Chris that the idea is more towards instruction keying in on pads, drones, and such. Leaving the melody to the viewer to build.. With that, keep up the fantastic ambient tutorials, your lansdcape finesse, as well as your friendly passion! It's truly wonderful!
I just came across your channel the other day. I love, love, love your enthusiasm as you have eureka moments as you write and design. It is contagious for sure. I have long had a love for ambient music and as I have progressed as a composer, I find I really love cinematic ambient or hybrid ambient. (What I would call the meshing of orchestral with electronic.) I am definitely inspired to delve back into this genre that I really enjoy writing. (Even if it is not the best for licensing all the time, but I do love writing it! Thanks for the cool channel!😊
Right on! Thanks for your positive words. If you enjoy my channel, you'd probably really love my Patreon. Absorb everything you can and when you want to learn more, it'll be there for you. Cheers!
Chris, once again an amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm going to try and apply the pad technique you showed to Pigments 4. Bless you!
I'm quite surprised! The technique you use with these basic steps is very interesting. I normally start experimenting but end up in a jungle of sounds, instead I think it's a very good take away from this to ask myself. "Where do I want to go?" then stick to it and not losing the track of that goal. Sometimes you hit the goal anyway but it takes more time and effort. Thx for a great video. Again!
thanks again for an awesome video. I've also been using the ableton utility template, which has been a game changer. I've noticed you route your return channels directly to the master. I'd be curious to know why that is.
My returns don't need any further processing. It's usually just reverb and delay which I like to leave untouched. Any adjustments to the returns I do directly inside the plugin. Hope that helps!
Stepic is exactly the kind of step sequencer I've been looking for since I started with Ableton Live 11 last year! Unfortunately it looks like you have to have the Suite (which includes Max 4 Live) to use it! Well, I'm not spending over $1000 to use one plugin, but I really don't want to switch to another DAW like Bitwig Studio (yet). Does anyone have an option which is similar to Stepic, but will work in Ableton Live 11 Lite/Intro? I watched some videos on Seqund, but the workflow seems... weird.
@@s1gns0fl1fe Thanks for the response. For anyone concerned about VST vs. M4L version of Stepic, they offer BOTH in a bundle for only about $13 more. I ended up buying it that way, and will be playing with the VST version in Ableton this week, see how well it works. :)
Chris, I have a question, can I recreate these sounds with Massive instead of Serum? Because Serum is very expensive but Massive is free for my pocket, but I am just curious to know whether Massive could make this kind of sounds. Could you make am ambient tutorial with Massive? It would be good. 😉 Thanks!!!
Why don't you use Vital? It's free and has nearly the same possibilities like Serum. I like it a lot and there are lots of free presets out there for it as well.

Man, this was a Master Class and the sound quality is just out of this world good!

Melody is something I've gone over in other videos and that certainly wasn't the focus here. That said, I'll keep that in mind for the future. Thanks!
that was great, Chris, thanks 🙂
Absolutely my friend!

I love how excited you get! makes me want to learn how to do this so I can enjoy it as much as you
What a tremendous channel!
Great video. Was enjoyable to watch and I learned something!
Thank you for sharing your inspiration and passion with us. Highly engaging content!
Truly appreciated! Thank you.
Awesome, mind-blowing sounds, thanks for sharing ... keep it coming ;-)
Cheers and thanks!
Loved it and subscribed !!
What’s the thinking behind your eq curves on the first sound please?
It was a curve designed by Don Tyler and is available in the Utility Template for Ableton. I've got another video on my channel explaining it!
@@s1gns0fl1fe thanks man!
Once again, you are a total inspiration!
Super nice track
Creazy sounds!!!
wooow man, you nailed it, awesome video ❤yes part two pretty pls 😊
Thank you so much! Part 2 is already on Patreon... ;)
Awesome demo!
This so good thanks for some much needed inspiration
Nice video man! How do you that skin on Serum?
The skin is called Prometheus and it comes with Serum!
With Serum you can also set the LFO in envelope mode.
But maybe this is new.
[\Know-it-all mode off]
But I haven't found out how to remove ENV 1 as modulation.

@@s1gns0fl1fe thanks, yes that helps 🙏 and I suppose the levels are negligible in terms of gain-staging.
Cracking video Chris, always informative 🙂 Looks like there may be an Anomaly 3 coming up 👍
You're awesome, thanks for teaching this so easily.
You are so welcome and thank you!
thank you so much ❣️
Chris do you do Chill step? If so can you do a video on it. I really like Marion and his style. Love ya man and congrats again on 10k +
Chill step isn't really my thing, but I really enjoy it. Maybe someday!
@@s1gns0fl1fe Ok cool...But I'm learning a lot how to better my ambient music.

Oh, and thanks for an excellent video, Chris, right up my alley!
Stepic is also available as a VST. It works in every DAW except FL Studio as far as I know! Thanks for the positive comments too.

Late reply but have you checked out 'Stochas', it's a free random sequencer. It's not as complex as Stepic but you can do a lot with it
Loving this....
Rainbow
Synth (Analogue / Subtractive) Plugin by BigTick check it out old old free vst but super complex to use :)
Wonderful, thanks!
Deep Space Ambient? The Universe is listening!
This is amazing Chris! Love how easy you make it look… that’s experience though. Keep it up, you’re an inspiration. 👍🏼👍🏼👁️🔭☁️🦶🏔️
Thank you so much!
Good 😌 god it must have taken a long time to get as good 😌 at this as Chris lol 😂 love ya
How to make this type of sound in serum?

Because Serum is very expensive but Massive is free for my pocket, but I am just curious to know whether Massive could make this kind of sounds. Could you make am ambient tutorial with Massive? It would be good. 😉 Thanks!!!
I own Massive but don't use it very much. That said, absolutely yes! I'm 100% sure you could do everything I did in Serum using that synth. Go for it!
@@s1gns0fl1fe thank you 😀
Why don't you use Vital? It's free and has nearly the same possibilities like Serum. I like it a lot and there are lots of free presets out there for it as well.
@@stephanscharf5524 thanks for the recommendation. Definitely I am going to try Vital.
@@stephanscharf5524 could you please recommend me websites with free presets to vital? Thanks 👍
do you also use valhalla dsp vintageverb on you pads or is it only valhallaroom?
I also use VintageVerb, especially now that we have Space & Time on Material. Highly Recommended!
🙏
it is like an interlocking of math .. produces a system .. like a cosmic and resonant self-organising system
❤️😎👍 awesomeness thanks 🙏
damn nice🤩
👍
Actually, the comparison with deep space speaks of your misunderstanding. There is no air in space and, accordingly, there can be no sound))
You explained nothing. Set here and there. And here we are.
I don't know why, but when I hear such music, I immediately think of Wojciech Golczewski
