    If anyone is interested in producing this kind of ambient horror stuff, I can also strongly suggest checking out the Mirage libraries by Frozen Plain. They produce a lot of sample libraries which are reminiscent of the sounds you would find on these old 90s sample libraries which Akira Yamaoka used but with a bit of a more modern twist.

    Dude, this channel is something else. I am thinking I might even just join your Patreon to show support because no one else on this platform is putting out such solid, consistent and relevant content. Literally everything you post is a huge help to me working towards my current musical goals. Amazing stuff!

      @@Thought-Forms Ah, I used Ableton for 4 years ^^, but for some reason, I don't know why, with Bitwig, I can produce while having fun with the endless possibilities. I'm still very slow, and I find the workflow in the arrangement view more difficult than Ableton, but I'm getting used to it and loving it.

      Red Means Recording has a video called "Pilfering the vaults of 90s sample CDs" for a potential resource.
      Zero G is also still doing business and sells "Cuckooland ghost in the machine" on their site, which has these kinds of samples.
      Big Fish Audio also has a website where they are selling some of the packs mentioned.

    I have no clue how you're doing this man, but all your tracks are on point. I'd add a bit of saturation on the drums and a bit of tape effect, just a slight bit on the pads. Nontheless, you are an amazing gem and I hope you'll grow even more in the future!

    • @damianlove19
      @damianlove19 Před 7 měsíci +1

      There is multiple ways.
      One approach would be to have two layers...
      One with a pad sounds underneath
      And the next with a short pluck sound (To me it sounds like a sample of an one-shot FM sound that then gets extra texture when you pitch it up and then of course the delay)
      Depending on how much playability you want over the sound I would get Unify to easily layer sounds and use different effects to each layer. I would use VST's like Falcon or Omnisphere and Pigments inside of Unify to get you in the ballpark.

      @@eren3390 the top layer is definitely digital of character.
      I hope my comment gave a little clarity... I have always strived to recreate oldschool sounds with the most playability and not just samples. Actually many of the classic sample CD's have gearlists (Thinking Spectrasonics - Distorted Reality)

    • @Thought-Forms
      @Thought-Forms  Před 7 měsíci +2

      So many ways to approach. Lot of pitch / frequency shifting / fx manipulation -> further manipulation in a sampler. I have a video on my Patreon that goes over creating sound FX and do plan to put out another for here. There is a SoundonSound interview with Eric Persing from the early 2000s where he talks a bit about how they created a lot of the samples from their early sample packs - worth a read
