One important technique you are skipping over for this sort of music, and general 90-00s era electronic music is that producers would regularly sample themselves. They would work around polyphony limits, and limited effects processors by creating sounds, sometimes whole motifs, as they wanted to with their gear, recording them into the sampler, then using the sampler and their effects again to further process the sound, and continuing until they created what they were imagining. Many of those super washy pads and drones are the result of multiple resampling passes

this plus a nicely chopped amen .. i could trip to this till november

I just learned my slash chords a few days ago, applying them when using my Triton plugin, now everyday can be Dreamcast day 😀👍♥️🌱

Best tuts man

11:05 that transition is super smooth 👌 My "trick" for that gritty sound is to send the dry source sound to a parallel mixer track with a bitcrusher / sample rate reducer and then a subtle reverb on it. So you can freely choose how much grittyness you want

I had a great collection of 90s ambient hardware - a Proteus module, a Vintage Keys module and a Wavestation AD which was the hardware God of Ambience. Sample some bird sounds to mix in and out and instant 90s flashback 😂.

I was studying to Thom Brennan before watching this and had to go check that I had stopped my music, nice job

I've probably said this before, but I have an Alesis Quadraverb GT. I got it because I wanted a hardware multi-effect, has that "sound" you get from old hardware effects, could do some simple sampling, and because it was the cheapest QV I could find. Also, for "authentic" samples of the era, the Internet Archive has a collection of sounds of old sample CDs that no longer exist.

That's a very good video! The limitations of the equipment of the 90's expands my creativity endlessly.

The best drops, every time 🎉❤

you always release a video when i need it, thank you for making all this great content. I love watching it, and it always gets me inspired to start making stuff.

Cool video man, new subscriber! FSOL lifeforms is one of my favourite old albums. Still sounds wicked now, i remember being completely fascinated when i found that album. All the way back in the day on tape cassette. Nice tips too dude thanks 🎉

Fantastic, thanks. Subscribed as I want to go back through your content and see more in 90s. Autechre, Boards of Canada?

Love this channel, I was wondering if you'd ever thought about doing a video on the music from Shenmue? Some of the best tracks (imo) are the ambient ones that aren't even on the OST release, especially 'Free 1'. I've never been able to track down the exact patches, but apparently it was mostly done on a JV-2080, Tr-Rack + Ensoniq MR.

my favorite genre, thank you for this

beautiful

Am I only one that wishes we could have drumless versions of ambient jungle classics?? 😮

ur channel rocks

magick

Love

Just wondering, have you tried out the DSP56300 EMU ? Basically loads the real Virus Ti Cards. Sounds mega for certain genres. Would love to see that make an appearance on your channel someday. Also really enjoying your channel, I used to make music all the time, but as of now I pretty much stick to strickly 90's sample CD's and ilegal samples, so I can't exactly "release" them now :( Whole genres were formed from ilegal samples, such a shame how things have become. :(

what plugin do you think comes the closer ? I heard Valhalla Vintageverb was great but I didn't click with it

bro are you the one who used to be called dj bobby light? I'm searching for this song "glimmer" which was credited to you if so. Do you have it uploaded anywhere? its possibly one fo the best drum and bass songs I ever heard

what daw is that??

how to make ambient - play someone elses preset at low notes. SNORE
