    I recently was “gifted” a workstation GM synthesiser from the 90’s with full-fledged MIDI implementation. I played around with it, realising that being limited by GM sounds, I only could focus on the arrangement and composition of the song. Which in turn gave me better ideas than when I would be doing sound design at the same time.
    Maybe something for others here to think about. When something sounds good in GM, I’d bet it sounds awesome on synths that can offer more. And you’ll have a second “discovery” phase: finding the coolest sounds for your already nice sounding composition 😊

    My Ambient Workflow: 1. Find a dark or cheesy drone (depends on the subgenre). 2. Add Delay 3. Add Reverb 4. Add more Reverb 5. Add Shimmer Reverb 6. Add a bit of Saturation 7. Add the final Reverb. ;-)

      You forgot bout the Master track, adding compression, delay, and extra reverb just before a shimmer reverb. All going into a Black hole reverb.

    I would have kept the piano and used it as an intro or maybe as a bridge to another section of the song. That way you are not stuck with just a loop but have additional musical elements to work with when arranging the song later on.

    I always like the way you talk about gear but this is better, it's about making music. You don't mind being vulnerable, showing the real thing, please keep it up.

    1. Sample my own music with sampler of the day
    2. Resample it into oblivion
    3. Chop it into something interesting
    4. Build on those chops to a 4 or 8 bar loop
    5. Arrange it
    6. Realize that the chops are no longer inspiring
    7. Delete or mute the chops
    8. Save and close project
    9. Forget about the song for a day or a year.
    10. If i hate it resample it
    rinse repeat 😂
