How I Created a 3 Hour Ambient Guitar Meditation! Part 2 (The Mix)

As soon as I started posting 3 hour long Ambient Guitar Meditations on the Chords of Orion Long Play channel, I began getting questions about how I put them together. This is part 2 of the 2 part series - How I mixed and mastered the piece.

Thanks for sharing the process!
I always thought that I'm doing something 'lazy' when creating long drone-y pieces by copying elements many times over and (granted, I never did a 3 -hour-long one, but still).

I just found you channel and i just sub'd. Thanks for the tips. I am awaiting my Boss TE-2 Tera Echo and experimenting with creating soundscapes.

I love the idea behind this and I'm completely with you on creating these "extended play" ambient drones, but I'd like to hear your reasoning behind it - if there is one. What's the difference between actually making one between simply suggesting that people listen to a 40 minute drone on repeat for as long as they like?

Great video, but still wondering how exactly to upload such a long video to YouTube. Is it as easy as I think? Do you use ScreenFlow? The upload to YouTube? Seem like it would take forever.

Beautiful work!! And wow that Eventide plugin tho, did you drop the $200 for it and is it work it? Or would you prefer the pedal? I know that thing is pretty steep in price 😬
