Sonic Academy How To Make Ambient Chill with Taylor Franklyn TUTORIAL

This week, Taylor Franklyn returns with a brand-new “How To Make” course, taking you step-by-step through the creation of a full Ambient Chill track from start to finish.

In this style, the focus is on melodic elements and atmosphere, guiding listeners on a sonic journey rather than driving with beats and rhythm. The course begins with a time-stretched drone, builds a simple chord progression, and layers lush evolving pads and arpeggios before adding chilled drums, bass, and atmospheric effects.

Across ten detailed videos, Taylor dives into sound design techniques using ANA 2, Ableton stock plugins, and VELA for reverb, offering practical knowledge you can apply across multiple genres.

Sit back, relax, and explore the art of crafting immersive, melodic, and emotive tracks!
