How To Make Ambient - Polyrhythmic Arp Line

Check out the full 'How To Make Ambient' course here: https://www.sonicacademy.com/courses/how-to-make-ambient This week, we welcome back Protoculture for an all-new course in How To Make Ambient! Focussing more on atmosphere and evolving sounds rather than energy and rhythm, this is a different style of production that will take you on a more experimental journey. This is a course aimed at more adept producers, as some sound design elements here will require a decent understanding of synthesis. Over the next three hours, Nate makes extensive use of Bitwig's powerful grid options, modulation functions, and sequencers to build randomised evolving drones, arps, and percussion while layering with organic, orchestral, and live elements to create this epic atmospheric track. Although complex at times, the sound design often looks more difficult than it is, and Nate guides you through step-by-step sharing ideas that will help inspire your creativity to try new techniques in the DAW of your choice.
