    For the ambient folk...how to create smooth pads/drones?

    have a lot of trouble creating smooth pads like this : YouTube Whenever I try, I end up with a bumpy, warbly mess and no amount of eq or compression will even the resonances out. I usually layer up to three pads, with each one taking up its own frequency range. They are sent individually...

    I would appreciate some feedback on this. I'm new to mixing so I imagine it's not perfect, but just want to know if i'm heading in the right direction. The track was originally 6 minutes long but I cut a bunch out at the start as it wasn't really adding anything. I use Gilmour's guitar sound...

I create ambient music, and my pedalboard is set up in stereo as the reverbs and delays sound better, but as you can imagine, having 3 or more...
