Dark Ambient in Cubase

I’ve made a video on how to create a dark ambient track in Cubase. And because that alone isn’t too special, since Cubase is a top-notch DAW and you can make all sorts of music with it, i also decided to only use Cubase Stock-Plugins, like HALion, PadShop and Retroloque. Just to turn the project into more of a challenge.

The result is only about one minute long and didn’t turn out as dark as expected, but that’s fine. I hope you find it somehow inspiring enough to create your own dark ambient track in Cubase, or another DAW.

It’s worth mentioning that my video was shared in the Cubase Nation Discord! It’s a relevant Steinberg Fan-Discord, recognized and supported by Steinberg. A big shoutout to the community there and to the Admin for inviting me!

Satisfying Ambient Loop

I have a very interesting and easy to attend Ambient Music Tutorial on my channel. In that video i create a 8-bar Ambient Loop that features a nice chord progression, melodic elements as well as a calm bass line.

Make sure to subscribe to The Ground Noise on YouTube, because i have plans to continue this project and turn the loop into a satisfying piece of ambient music. Stay calm and enjoy:

lost in the void

My recent videos related to ambient music seem to gain more views and engagement than other stuff. For example, i have made a detailed video where i turn a mediocre kickdrum sample into a much cooler sound…

…but that video only got 30 views in the first 10 days. Okay, to be honest, the first thumbnail wasn’t good (1% ctr), but i doubt that that’s the only problem. After all, the YouTube Algorithm has shown the video only about 1.600 times, and then stopped showing it at all 🤡

That’s why engagement (likes, dislikes, comments, sharing) is so important, guys!

If you want to see me tweaking a kickdrum sample step by step:

More Ambient Music

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with making more ambient music content. Sure, i want do make other stuff as well, but i also want to grow the channel. And the best way to do that is to tighten up the niche and give people what they want 🙂

Over the last year i often had the feeling that i spread out the topics too much too soon.
