The EASY Way to Get BETTER Ambient Arrangements!

Рет қаралды 6,684

Күн бұрын

When it comes to arrangements in music, there are a few things that I think about most when bringing a track together. Frequency separation, building up contrast with different sections, and ultimately building a world that allows the listener to get lost in the sonic space that I’m creating.

Thank you so much for the Session to Arrangement view conversion tips. I've struggled switching from one to the other, so just stuck to using Arrangement view. Now I can go back and finish some of my older projects!

Thank you Chris, your ability to not only know how to do these things but also how to share them with all of us has made a huge difference. Stepic, Vital, and many other tools that I did not know about are now used all the time. Your help on looking at frequencies and knowing how (where) to put things in the mix is a key suggestion. Thank you again and please keep these vids coming dude! Cheers from Alaska.

@s1gns0fl1fe Жыл бұрын

Martin!! Yes, Phase Plant is amazing. Also very flexible! And they just added a granular engine. My Focal headphones have been pretty good. They are the Listen Professionals. In their price range, excellent. I may be on the market for some new ones soon... Cheers to you!

Hi Chris, nice music and an interesting channel you have here. You cut out frequencies right from the beginning. Maybe you share those frequencies from your eq. It sounds not muddy or harsh. It's definately a time saver. Greetings and keep on going with your Ambient journey.

@s1gns0fl1fe Жыл бұрын

I use the Utility Template for Ableton Live. I have another video on my channel all about it! It doesn't talk about the specific frequencies but I do explain what it is and why I use it. Cheers
