DESPERATELY looking for an ambient sound

[Landon]

I've researched and even tried myself to find or create an ambient tone but, am not getting anything near to what I want. Any thoughts, suggestions, patches, etc?

define "ambient sound"

the plex detune block is probably a good place to start. check the delay blocks in the link bradders posted above.

I'm still getting the hang of good ambient delay tones (and will check the link provided) but as far as ambient reverbs, it is relatively simple:

- long tails
- low(ish) mix

For example if you go to sun plate, set the mix at 25% and the decay for 20s you should be getting pretty spacey out of the box. This should work for most of the reverb types available.

I play in a "post-hardcore" band where ambience is half the fun, and big riffs the other half. My "Afterneath" patch is the sun plate with a long decay time. There's some parameters I haven't really messed with which should affect what the tails do.

Experiment and let us know what you come up with!

While the information and presets on the forum are great, don't limit yourself to them. I constantly use videos on youtube and other effect tutorials using 'real' pedals when trying to get certain types of sounds and tones. The only thing you'll need to know is how the parameters on the effects used the tutorials correlate to the FX8 and what the equivalent parameters are.

This is one of the first ones I remember using when learning how to create ambient presets:

IMHO ambient tones are the easiest to coax out of the Fractal units. Just the Deep Space with the appropriate mix/decay/mod settings is amazing

I don't have a Deep Space block. I have an FX8 Mark I model, if that helps.

it's a reverb type

Thanks a ton for these. I haven't had a chance to add them. Do you have any live clips of them, just because?
