I’m in the process of composing an ambient track that’s been bouncing around in my head for a couple of months.

Yesterday, I spent 2-hours testing out a bunch of ‘presets’ (in Massive) to include in it. I listened back to the work today and went ‘meh’.

Today, I spent 2-hours learning how to make uber-cool organic pads using samples of common instruments.

I haven’t recorded anything with these yet, but I am newly inspired and picked up a great technique in the process.

That makes for a good day.
