I'd like to make some tracks that are similar to what you'd hear at a massage studio (Massage Envy etc). Slow, quiet, pan pipes or such.
I've been looking through the melodist and don't see anything like that and looking through the styles. Not sure what to call this. Perhaps you've found one like this. Can you point me in the right direction?

Hi Dan,
You might want to check out the options available with the Soundtrack feature on the menu bar under Window -> Generate Soundtrack. I don't have much experience with it but you might find something therethat will be of help to you.
Good luck, Ed

Dan, Ed...You might want to check out the options available with the Soundtrack feature on the menu bar under Window -> Generate Soundtrack. This is a piece of Emerald.sty with PanFlute for melody. This is a PG Demo piece. No FX at all only default midi sounds. Am using CoolSoft midi synth as default midi. Forte would also sound good. 192kb mp3 4.5 meg. http://www.mp3cloud.mobi/EMERALD_STY_PanFlute.mp3This is part of 6.4 minutes.

You might also find some interesting styles by searching the stylepicker for some of the New Age offerings.

What success I've had with ambient styles with BIAB has come through much experimentation with New Age, World music, even certain dance styles, slowing things wa-ay down, revoicing with pads, etc. Depending on how much material you want you may want to learn how to create your own styles. Also, because of the 255-bar limit in BIAB you may also want to port things over to RB after a point. Repeats are nice but can become monotonous.
HTH,

Ditto what they said. Often you can find a style that is suitable in some of the "other styles" where you might not expect it to be and change it a bit...
Look in the new age area also at some of the Celtic styles. Look also at any Japanese styles and that would probably be in the world style section.
Several years back I did a few Japanese cues and also used a wooden flute from Kontakt IIRC.... it worked out fairly well. I grabbed the style straight out of BB/RB.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

PNOMOOD1 and 2 are pretty mellow and can easily be altered with additional / fewer instruments. I like them anyway.

HTH,
Richard That is exactly how I create ambient music.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

New Age sometimes takes itself too seriously. We could use the humor--go for it! (Just for yucks, check Youtube for Garrison Keillor's take on the origin of New Age music.) R.
