Hi everyone
So I have been busy revisiting my Ableton Live suite and was wondering ,what is a good way or approach of creating ambient styles of music.?
I have messed around in the past,trying out various ideas .S
Some have said, elsewhere " Oh Ableton is good for only for live sessions and techno" Etc,which is a load of rubbish,I think
I was thinking of using my Ableton Live sample packs,,Omnisphere 2 VsT synth , various ,Kontakts libraries ,Making use of the clip and session views
would like to hear from you,on your ideas thoughts or suggestions
Thank you

Re: creating ambient styles of music
My personal preference is to use Kontakt due mainly to the vast amount of great ambient libraries out there. There's a ton of stuff on the multilayered synth side as well as traditional instruments that can be mixed in on different tracks to add a more pro flavor to the ambient styles.

Yes I agree there is a lot of great Kontakt libraries out there.But noticed these is a lot of great stuff in Ableton Live packs too
Ahhh!! too many choices
I would like to do something maybe hybrid-ish ( mix of Wav files ,Kontakt libraries and Omnisphere 2. I will have to experiment!

You could check out german artist Martin Stürtzer on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/c/MartinSt%C3%BCrtzer)
He uses Ableton Live and has a lot of tutorials on making ambient music.
