for anyone starting out in music production and exploring ambient music, this is your guy! watch as many of these videos as you can, you will not be sorry. helped me step up my game big time!
I can’t echo this enough. The one on one coaching sessions have been invaluable and have helped push me far beyond what I thought was possible. Can’t thank Chris enough for the work and effort he puts into his music, the community, and students. Thanks again man!
Great beginner tutorial thanks for the slow pace and inspirational sounds
Thanks for making this content! Seeing you enjoy the craft so much is inspiring 💪🏻
Great job at explaining so many concepts in the best accessible terms!
Awesome tutorial!! Thank You!! 🎹 ❤🎹
that kult synth is the secret for relaxed ambient pads love it
Cool! Thank you so much for this tutorial☺
Back to basics with Chris!!! Another video with tons of super useful nuggets, bud! 🔥
This is very helpful and inspiring. Thank's for sharing :D
Thank you so much Chris. Your videos have helped me so much. There is something to learn in every single one of them.
You are truelly really good at this. And your enthusiasm and teaching ability make it a pure pleasure to watch/listen to your videos. I look forward to many more. 👍
This is really really good!
I’m learning a lot thanks to you Chris, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience and creativity. My own music creation is taking very definite steps forward. Peace ❤
Thank you, very interesting. Never heard about Kult before.
I got goosebumps during the whole video I feel this music through my veins, hearth, brain..
You have so much passion!
Truly appreciated!
I am heading to grab a cup of coffee and start watching this video from my favorite channel. 😁👌
I just started 90 days Kult free trial after this video thanks :D
Thanks for this. I just replicated what you did exactly on my hardware synth. I learned a lot about sound synthesis from this video. Super inspiring.
Thank you Chris. This and many of your other videos are very informative and a fantastic way to learn the various soft synths. Your programming skills are excellent and are showing me the way to harness the beautiful ambient sounds from them. I share your love and enthusiasm for great sounding ambient music. I'll check out your patreon.
Thank you so much Tom! Cheers to you
Chris, you are the best! I love your videos, your music, your channel, and your inspiring words to all of us. Keep up the good work!
Made my day! Thank you Steve.
Perfect
I m just starting but wow, great channel and content
Your channel is getting some of the respect that it earned but deserves so much more!
Thank you so much! Truly appreciated.
chris the absolute beast of an ambient guru 😁
Thank you Chris. My age is in my YT handle (yeah, a "Boomer"). I have an equal interest in all music from Classics (Chopin, Beethoven , etc.) to anything I hear today from young or old - I don't care what it is it's just gotta sound good to me (disco, D'n'B, Psytrance, Pop, Rap, whatever!). My fascination in electronic music started in ~1972 with Hot Butter's version of "Popcorn". I was enamoured. Then the Fairlight CMI came out a few years later in my home country... Today I do electronics, programming, CompSys Engineering, AI, and ICT because of those "sparks". Looking for something to do in my "latter" years and here I am, practically full circle, about to embark on a new "spark". You're an awesome inspiration, mate! (patr'd for a yr 😉)
Thank you so much! Cheers and welcome aboard!!
Super inspiring, Chris!
Thank you!
This is great! I was following along with my own Ableton and Serum, but then I hit the bit with your custom wave table. Ack! I'm not in a position to join your Patreon, so instead I fooled around in Serum and Wavetable, and in the process learned HEAPS about Wavetable, and got usable, musical sound out of it! I'm an old preset guy from wayback, so being able to tweak knobs to produce decent sound is a big thing for me. Thank you! I'll keep going on finishing that ambient track! :)
I followed along with this video for a couple of weeks. Not only did this video help me to get unstuck, it helped me create something tangible, authentic and well, enjoyable. Based on my experience, I will certainly be taking a deeper dive into your channel, as I love your approach and style. Thank you so much!
You are welcome! Cheers to you.
Completely within the realm of possibility love 💗 ya
This is an amazing song in such a short time man.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your passion! I feel very inspired by you! 🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that.
@@s1gns0fl1fe I am following along your tutorial now, haveing a great time, and I was wondering if you sell those Anomaly 3 wavetables? I see in Bandcamp that you sell some for vital, but will they work in Serum as well?
really nicce one
Damn! Soooooo fortunate to have found your channel. I've been dabbling in ambient for awhile to help with my PTSD and anxiety and wanted to learn some straight to the point no BS tips and tricks to quicken my skills and this just blew my mind. I followed to the T and was spot on, except I don't have your presets and kult yet haha. But I've always tried to mess with Serum and found it not to my liking but your tutorial made me appreciate and respect it much more. Plus the Kult synth was what I was looking for to add to my other projects and that was a bonus. Great content! Stay blessed.
Thank you so much! Good luck with everything and let me know how it goes!
I like to have quite a few different vst sound generators so as to a diverse arsenal of palettes to paint with
wow
That moment when you crank the verb and delay on Kult.... Chills. Yummy
Mate, I don't have any of the synths you have, and I only have Valhalla Supermassive, but even with just that, the stock Echo delay plugin from Ableton and the default Wavetable synth, I was able to create something absolutely mesmerizing. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it has really inspired me to dive deeper into ambient music production!
ambient Music goat
Very cool. Big thumbs up and SUB from me. You sure know how to sing and dance around that DAW. That's experience. Thanks.
I really like the sounds you created here. Tasty stuff. However for this becoming a real "track" what I miss is some arrangement. I hoped that you cover this as well to some extend. Because that's what I struggle with the most atm. Any tips for song arrangement? Maybe a video that you did yourself? I'd love that. Thanks so much for everything you are doing for the genre and community.
Search for the word "arrangements" on my channel and you'll find several videos covering this topic. Also a recent video I did called "Off the Grid" covers it as well. Hope that helps!
You think you can make a playlist of your videos that are in an order from beginners to advanced? I see you have a playlist for ambience tutorials with about 70 videos, but where do I start? Haha
Start with the video on my channel called "Ambient for Beginners" and then pick and choose where you want to go next! Lots of topics to explore.
Sweet video love ya Chris talk soon 🔜 peace ☮️
I seriously need about 13 like buttons to cover my likes for this video. Really inspiring :) Thanks, man.
I had to LOL a bit on the Vital comment... its literally the same, in terms of the front end, plus you get another front end filter. You just need to get used to the differences in the interface. They are both great to use and pretty easy, in comparison to say Pigments or god forbid Massive X. Massive X hurts my brain, but they all relatively do the same things. All down to presets at some point, but I find it really easy working in Vital or Serum and yes, I know, there are haters and lovers out there of both. For me, Vital being free, its really hard to beat. I bought Serum and still find myself more comfortable in Vital, due to working in it a long time. With Vital, the latest couple of updates have been game changers, as it used to be slow and clunky... not anymore. Phase Plant is another one that is complicated, but once you understand the workflow, it begins to make sense.
Thanks so much, im an old guitar player new at electronic music, i just got Earth dna from spitfire and I was overwhelmed. Your tutorials help me!!! Until now, I had no knowledge of basic synth I needed fundamentals like this. New subscriber! Do you have a patreon page or a way to support?
Yes! My Patreon is very active. It's in the description of all my videos. You can also head over to www.patreon.com/s1gnsofl1fe

Fors makes some max4live instruments similar to Kult , and a less bit expensive
Great video Chris. I like the look of the Kult plugin. Would Pigments do a similar job to Kult?
Yeah that’s a good comparison. KULT is an original synth, for sure. Nothing quite like it. That’s said, Pigments covers much of that sonic territory, at least for me.
Can you break down some tracks that have ambient sound in it like brothel- slide or niteboi tracks
You always inspire me to make more music. But I really lack that simplicity in my music and I don't know how to fix it
Glad to hear I inspire you! If you're struggling with this, perhaps try a different approach to music making. Try and identify what you want your music to sound like (example track) and then try to recreate the sounds used within. Try using presets as a starting point. Best of luck!
Me too
Can you recommend any virtual instrument libraries for beginners? I currently use arturia pigment. I could sure use other virtual instruments.
Love u man
witnessing the steve jobs of ambient music
what DAW are you using?
Ableton Live. :)
@@s1gns0fl1fe thankyou!
How to make Pads like Icytwat
MAKE IT BIPOLAR
Bipolar music is a good thing. Bipolar people, not so much.
Bipolar people are people. They struggle and deserve the same empathy and care as anyone else.
This is a really great video! Up until now I've only really dipped my toe in pure ambient music a few times, but I followed along doing the exact same steps (but in Logic) and was really surprised at the results. It's really inspired me to create more music in this style - thank you so much! 🙏
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. More videos like this on the way. Cheers!
