The Dreams of Eno Pt 2 (Ambient using Gauss, Module Pro's Tape Choir, Monolit, lots of reverb lol)

As the title suggests, this piece was heavily inspired by "Music for Airports" and is a spiritual successor to the original "The Dreams of Eno" back from late May. The whole piece is in C Pentatonic Minor, and here's how I conceived it.

I first recorded five notes of a bell sound from Module Pro into five instances of Gauss. Unfortunately for some reason, the last three instances of Gauss ended up being blank, so I had to delete those three channels. However, in the end it didn't matter as only having the two bell notes ended up sounding better in my opinion. Each note was at a different loop length.

Anyhoo, I routed the remaining two instances of Gauss to MixBus B and processed them through Velvet Machine, Stratosphere Reverb, and a peak limiter just in case any unexpected sound spikes occurred.

Next, with all this talk about Mellotron apps on the AudioBus forum, I loaded up Module Pro and selected one of the Tape Choir sounds. I ran this through a LowPass filter automated by Flux Pro, PanFlow, Klevgrand's ReAmp for a bit of tasty saturation, and Bleass' Reverb. The notes were all driven by Rozeta Particles.

Finally I added Monolit for my drone. I automated the FM amount with Flux Pro. Then I processed this through Dustbin, VelvetMachine, FAC Chorus, AUM's highshelf filter to dull the high-end significantly to make it play nice, a lowpass filter driven by Flux Pro, and Baby Audio's Crystalline. Monolit was driven by a 32-bar-long note from Atom 2 Piano Roll.

All of this was routed to the Master Buss, on which I placed Alteza, ChowTape, and a peak limiter in case of any peaks (of which there were none).

During the recording, I mucked with Alteza's two Feedback Pitch Knobs for a little bit of variance in the timbre.

Cheers, and enjoy this second tribute to Brian Eno.

    sorry, must have missed this the first time around.

    that said, this is probably my favorite ambience from your recent postings. very minimal and ethereal and the pace was perfect for chilling and a bit of cloud gazing. once again, thanks for the explanation of your process.

    any way to get a download on this?

    Well this is superb.

    You process the sound through all that you have described and yet it comes out sounding as fresh and clear as a spring morning.

    Most admirable to me is that transition at about 1:50.

    But the whole thing is wonderful.

    Kudos, sir.

    Thanks mate. 😅 Well, years and years of trying to master sound mixing and not make a muddy mix have gotten me to this point. It's all about perfecting the mix first, and then making it sound as though it were recorded to a manky magnetic tape.

    The craziest part is, I use Beats headphones to produce this with. I know it has an enhanced low-end, but for some reason I can never get a clear mix on flat-signal headphones. 😱 And goodness knows I've tried.

    Most admirable to me is that transition at about 1:50.

    I absolutely love that transition too! It's crazy that when I'm in the middle of live producing, I don't consciously think about the sonic decisions I make. I'm just like "Oh shit, this is a bit too loud. Lower the dB just a touch. Ah, here is a perfect spot to lower the lowpass filter a little to dull the sound. This needs less cowbell." :lol:

    But the whole thing is wonderful.

    Kudos, sir.

    Thank you so much for your kind words mate. :)

    Hi Jim,
    The bells are so peaceful, and relaxing.
    This could be a music for museums as well.
    Very spacey and wide recording.
    Thank you.

    Of course mate! That's actually a pretty sweet idea! A museum installation. Dare I? 🤔
