How To Make Ambient Chill - Ambient Pad

Watch the full course here: https://www.sonicacademy.com/courses/how-to-make-ambient-chill This week, we welcome back Taylor Franklyn for a new 'How To Make' course as he creates an Ambient Chill track from start to finish. With this style, it's more about the melodic elements taking you on a journey and focusing on atmosphere and feeling rather than beats and rhythm. We begin with a time-stretched drone and laying down a simple chord progression along with a lush evolving pad and arps before adding some chilled drums, bass, and effects. Packed full of sound design techniques using ANA 2 and Ableton stock plugins and utilising VELA for reverb duties, there's a lot to digest over these ten videos that you can utilise in multiple genres going forward. Sit back, relax, and check it out! 00:00 - Introduction 00:38 - Chords 02:36 - Pad Sound Design 02:42 - First Oscillator 03:00 - Filter 03:34 - Amp Envelope 04:09 - Polyphony 04:36 - Drift 04:56 - LFO 05:44 - Noise 06:25 - VELA Reverb 09:02 - Delays 11:10 - Shimmer 12:21 - Tape Saturation 12:53 - Dynamic Tube 13:36 - EQ 14:43 - Ensemble 15:36 - Autofilter Connect with Sonic Academy: _________________________________________ Website: https://www.sonicacademy.com Discord - https://discord.gg/Y8Dd9bg4qY Forums - https://forums.sonicacademy.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SonicAcademy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonicacademy Twitter: https://twitter.com/SonicAcademy
