Honestly though, discipline is so much more important than inspiration.
Give it time, blood will be spilled soon
If your software is 64 bit, then it will take better advantage of a modern CPU and can address a lot more memory. However, 32 bit VSTs won't work in a 64 bit host. So, you either gotta use somethin' like jBridge to wrap your 32 bit VSTs (which is a bit flakey, we're discussing this in another thread), or you just don't use the VST.
32 bit is dying tech, so it's only a matter of time... and chances are, we're not going to bother with 128 bit for a real long time, so we're going to be on 64 bit for a long while.
Paulstretch and Valhalla Shimmer are my go-to methods for making cool ambient pads!What does Paulstretch do? Can you elaborate on that? I've never heard of that synth before :0
Not really a synth, but more of an extreme time stretcher. You could basically insert a 10 seconds audio file and stretch it into something like 10 minutes or so. You can imagine that it can make some pretty dope ambient/pad texture depending on the kind of audio material you give it to eat. And it's free (Donationware actually) for Windows, Linux & OSX !
Otherwise, I find that granular processing (which is pretty much similar to time stretching anyway...) can lead to very cool pad sounds with pretty much everything. Just a matter of trying different things out and finding what you like and where to use it. Reverb is another thing that can turn pretty much anything into an instant pad.
I usually plan the concept of the song in my head like roughly would it be a Chill Song/Heavy Bass/Party/Mood Swing and then accordingly decide the key.To sum it up,I think what vibes people should get while listening to the song and accordingly plan the key.
