How to make Ambient Techno / Electronica

Written By David Maitland

I made this video late one evening when I was pretty tired out, but I knew I needed to make some ambient techno / electronica for an installation I was working on, and the deadline was looming.

I thought, hey, why not document the process? I didn’t think it would turn out well, but it’s become one of the most watched videos on my Whisky & Synths YouTube Channel and the track also became the closer for my Last of the Free album!

In the video you’ll learn:

  • how to get creative on low energy

  • sampling from unusual sources

  • synth sound design tricks

  • how to quickly get a beat together

  • tips on arrangement
