Hi everyone,
I'm an academic from Istanbul and a bedroom musician. I normally produce singer-songwriter stuff but I've discovered ambient music a few years ago and have recently started buying some gear to make some of my own. At first, I was building an ambient guitar pedalboard but I'm not sure how much further I will invest into that. Recently, I'm more interested in software apps.
I'm still exploring stuff and don't quite know how to proceed but here's the gear I have, below. If you have any suggestions as to what direction to develop in, let me know.
I am aware of many ambient tools, some of which I've tried. The difficulty for me has been the workflow. It's very different than composing a pop/rock song. But today, I think I recorded my first ambient guitar piece, so it's happening slowly.
My dream is to compose ambient and experimental pieces for short films, etc.
Cheers!
Guitar Pedals: EQD Organizer, Tech 21 Blonde, Zoom MS-70 CDR, Morley Volume/Wah, Pitch Pirate clone, Effects looper, TC Electronic Ditto, Biyang CO-10 Compressor, Boss RV-5 (seems broken but kinda works), ...
Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
Computer: Windows 7 64-bit, 6 GB RAM, etc. (a few years old but still quite sufficient)
MIDI: M-Audio Keyrig 49, Korg PadKontrol
DAW: Tracktion 5
Software: Guitar Rig 5 Pro, Reaktor, EZDrummer 2, EZKeys Upright Piano, Audio Damage Axon, Izotope Nectar Elements, tons of freeware and demo stuff that I don't even know how to use
Other: iPad with a few (mostly free) ambient apps, but I rarely use it as I don't know how to integrate it into a PC-based workflow (accept for just running a 1/4" jack from iPad headphone out to audio interface input, which of course goes through too many converters).
