Ambient experimentation
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 6:21 pm
I was having a play with the audio racks in live to get a proper feel for what it can do and realised that by setting up 3 EQ8's and a compressor on each you can make a kind of multiband compressor arrangement. Worked out quite cool, I set up on EQ8 to do just bass frequencies, another for the mids and one fr the highs. They were made to overlap a little.
I also made the compressor on the bass have a slower attack and faster release. The highs had the fastest compressor settings. I then set up a compressor over all that with a very small ratio (1:1.6 I think) to tie it all in.
On Ambient 02 I made the intro pad sound with a string pad from lives instruments. then set up an audio rack over that with three autofilters, one for bass, one for mids and one for highs. I set different LFOs and modulated them in tempo. Each auto filter has its own compressor too just to smooth it down (very low ratio obviously).
The tracks are the first two HERE! October is also still there for streaming if you feel in a Halloween mood too.
Cheers for reading and hope you like the tracks!
