Ambient production - from start to finish

In this video you can join me for a full production session of a new Ambient track from start to finish. I begin with an empty Ableton project and create new sounds and arrange the track. The idea is to show the full workflow, with all detours and mistakes that somehow lead to the result. If you are looking for a quick tip or shortcut to spice up your production this is the wrong video to watch. :)

Tools used in this video:
Ableton Live
Roland JV-1080 / XV-5080
Quarterone Guitar Reveries
Arturia Pigments
Valhalla Supermassive
U-He Colour Copy, Presswerk
Ableton Live

Seeing the Maestro at work...like being a wizard's apprentice and being allowed to read the Magic Tome :) Thank you so much...

[jeedmodorn]

You're the gift that keeps on giving. 2 years on. Thanks for this tutorial.

[pgibouin]

Thanks very much for this tutorial. You explain evrything, from A to Z. It is very appréciable, too much often, musicians just show a few part of the work. Letting some misteries, it is not your case. Great !

This is super helpful for those of us that are still learning how to use a DAW. I can "get by", but thats just not good enough. Tremendously helpful thank you

Grüss Neptun;D Thanks for this tutorial! Great to get an insight into your workflow.

[psilozine]

Amazing to see you at work! What really works for me are the insights into your thinking about why you are making decisions and choices - this is what makes it so valuable. Thanks!

Hi Martin, very cool, super selection of instruments, the hand of the Master is felt, we ask you to release another similar video, namely in Ableton with VST instruments. I wish you millions of views.

This is just what I needed to get me started! I've been tinkering with Reaper and synth vst's but hadn't really any idea on an entry point to really get started. This has been a great insight and lifted the curtain a little on the process. Thanks Martin!

So many details about mixing or to build up sounds in your video, really helpful to me.Thanks a lot Martin.

[SteveHorne]

Another priceless glimpse behind the curtain of your process, Martin! Thanks so much for this contribution to the art! 🙏

[DanielHatadi]

Thanks so much for sharing this deep dive into your methods. So much of it is about experimenting and developing personal taste, and it's nice to see this confirmed here. At least that's how I interpret it.
