Guest JW Modestburns Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 get reason or something like it. Take a preset pad in the synth and hold a note down for 5mins. Then add some effects like distortion ect and start twisting knobs. Make 5 different tracks with this same technique, then edit them all together.

Guest Skinko Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I make drones like this: Eat a load of very hot chili. While this is digesting i set up a microphone and setup my sequencer to record at the highest resolution i can. That's the hard bit over... Now: Press record. Hopefully your gas should need to escape. Fart. Time stretch ad nauseum and add reverb and filters et voila!!!
