Hey man, thanks a lot for this tutorial. A small question: how do you work textures over chord progressions? Let's say something simple, like a I-IV-V. Would you move your drone up and down over every chord change, or would you rather keep a sustained pedal note indepently of what's going on on top? Thanks!

@VenusTheory 3 жыл бұрын

Yo! Well, generally speaking they are more 'drone' elements so they stick to the root of the song and everything else gets worked over the top. If it's not too unstable with many notes and such, then you could render it out and put it in a sampler to convert it to a playable pad/instrument!

@Martinarmonica 3 жыл бұрын

@@VenusTheory Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. Over the last couple days I've been experimenting and I finally decided to stick to the root. For the folk music I'm working on, droning over the fundamental makes resolution much stronger. Thanks again dude, have a great weekend.

Yo! Yeah Diva is great for that kinda vintage/warm sound. However, it's extremely CPU heavy. For other options though, Massive is surprisingly good for pads, as is stuff like Omnisphere, Reaktor, and Absynth. UVI Falcon is an absolute beast for pads too!

@VenusTheory 6 жыл бұрын

In terms of free, I'd really recommend using Cecilia 5 and just running random stuff through it, then using that in a sampler track. Outside that, I'm not too aware of any free VSTs that are super good for pads. You may be able to dig around on VST4Free though and see if there's something designed with pads in mind!

Question: I am new to the field and eyeing up a career in it. I see a lot of back and forth about what a sound designer is and what the scope of their job entails. I love ambience like this, but some people insist that this is explicitly the domain of a composer and not a sound designer. Does anyone have any insight on this for either film or games?

@mcod99 4 жыл бұрын

Are you Irish :)

@VenusTheory 4 жыл бұрын

Yo! Well, in that case yes that would really come to the composer's end of things. You wouldn't want to force the composer to write in a certain key or create clashing sonics. That said, you might be more interested in the field I work in myself. I often create sample libraries and soundbanks that are designed to be used with certain synths or programs like Kontakt which are then in turn purchased by composers and game studios and musicians and all that to use when creating their scores/games/music/etc. I'd suggest you start researching some sound companies that release libraries for film/game composers and reach out to them!

Sorry, just realized I didn't answer your question about the mic - this is a Sterling Audio SP50 from the SP50/30 kit that's about $100.
