Course description

We're slowing the tempo down.., Ok - we're basically removing it completely this week and welcome back Bluffmunkey for a lesson in all things emotive and blissful as he looks at How to Make Ambient.

A very different type of course and style of music that focuses more on feelings than getting hands in the air. We check out some of the synths, effects and libraries used, building our sound palette, and how we can keep the listener interested with evolving textures, samples, and modulation.

Dim the lights, get comfy and check it out!
