Here is a new piece of ambient new age/spa music that I created last night. I was talking with a friend of mine who likes to create ambient music for his own enjoyment, and since I had never created anything in that genre, I thought it was a good opportunity to try. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. I've shared lots of details so you can try to create it yourself if you want to, since I have learned a great deal from what others have shared. I figured it would be a good piece of music to share. Enjoy! -- Mark Knight Final Mix: Ambient-Experiment-01-03.mp3Raw Band in a Box Render for an interesting comparison to how much difference it makes doing extra music production: Ambient-Experiment-01-BIAB-Render.mp3****** Song Summary ************* Key=D, Tempo 65, Length (m:s)=1:58 No intro. 28 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 28. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Style is _OORT.STY (Oort Spacey Ambient Synth) ******************* [Chords] |a) D|%|%| D6| D|%| G6/D|%| |a) G|%| A7|%| Bm| Bm/E| Em|%| |b) FMaj7| F/A| A|%| G|%| Em7|%| | DMaj7|%| D6| D| |a) D|%|%|%| [ChordsEnd] DAW: Cubase 12 Pro Track 1:Shakuhachi virtual instrument from UVI World Suite, playing the modified MIDI of the Shakuhachi RealTrack. The RealTrack was recorded very quiet and I wanted it to be more prominent, but when I increased the volume, I discovered that the RealTrack had far too much breath and wind noise for my liking, so I used the RealTrack MIDI, but some of the notes were outside the range of the virtual instrument so I changed some of the phrasing. MIDI from RealTrack 2328:Shakuhachi, Synth, Background NewAge Ev 110. I disabled the virtual instrument reverb, so that all reverb will come from the send effect channel in Track 2. - Insert Effect: None - Send the signal to Track 2 Send Effect channel Track 2:Shakuhachi Reverb Send Effect Channel with the following insert effects: - Insert Effect: Plugin Alliance Maag EQ4 to reduce some high end before going into the reverb - Insert Effect: Eventide Blackhole for reverb, 100% mix - Insert Effect: Elysia Mpressor side-chained to the Shakuhachi instrument track so that the amount of reverb will be reduced when the flute is playing a note, and once the note has finished, the reverb will return to full volume. This helps improve the clarity and detail of the flute while still benefiting from a lot of reverb Track 3:RealTracks in style: ~2579:Bass, Synth, RnBModernSub Ev16 065 - Insert Effect: None Track 4:RealTracks in style: 2666:Pedal Steel, Rhythm LushChordsSlow Ev 075 - Insert Effect: Eventide Shimmerverb to add shimmery reverb Track 5:RealDrums in style:WorldPercKeitaSlow16ths: a: WorldPercKeitaSlow16thsb: WorldPercKeitaSlow16ths - Insert Effect: Eventide Blackhole Track 6:Spitfire Audio London Contemporary Orchestra Textures playing the MIDI from the chords from the Cubase chord track - Insert Effect: None Track 7:Steinberg Padshop 2 Crystal Ball playing the chord progression up 1 octave. Adds a nice higher pitch sheen and movement. This sounds a bit like multiple pitches of the tonal components of playing crystal bowls but without the scraping noise - Insert Effect: None Track 8:RealTracks in style: 3621:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmbientBalladArp Ev16 065 - Insert Effect: Eventide Blackhole - Insert Effect: Izotope Neutron EQ to darken the sound after the reverb Panned to Left Track 9:Orange Tree Samples Evolution Vintage Gent DirectInput instrument track playing the MIDI of the Ambient Guitar RealTrack 3621:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmbientBalladArp Ev16 065 - Insert Effect: Amplitube 5 to create the ambient guitar effects, - Insert Effect: Izotope Neutron EQ to tame the highs a bit after Amplitube Panned to Right I double-tracked the ambient guitar RealTrack with the virtual ambient guitar so that there was a slightly different timing and tone between the guitar sounds in left and right channels to add more motion and interest to the music. You can hear occasional guitar tones poking out from the left and right channels at different times. To fill the stereo field and to create a lot of singing air in the background, making the sound very three dimensional, I used the MIDI from the Cubase chord track to play the chord progression using a vocal pad from Spitfire Audio London Contemporary Orchestra Textures along with a Crystal Bowl pad from Steinberg Padshop 2. Each of these instruments has subtle movement to keep the audio interesting. These tracks made such a huge difference. Mastered the mix using Izotope Ozone 10 and Brainworx bx_limiter True Peak.

Jedi, a very good piece of music.
You did ambient very well.
FWIW - I found the Shakuhachi to be overpowering. I would lower that volume and raise some of the pad's volume, have a better mix. Note that is just my opinion and others may or may not agree.
Regardless this is a very good song.

Hi Mark ...
Good to "meet" you! Lived in San Antonio for most of the 70s and had many friends from Austin and New Braunfels.
This is really nice! I'm a big fan of the Shakuhachi flute. The Waggaki Band from Japan is one of my favorite groups to listen to, and their Shakuhachi player is one of my favorite band members.
I agree with Mario about bringing the flute down a bit and bringing the synth a little more forward in the mix. Nonetheless, that doesn't detract from the overall ambiance of the piece. It's soothing and relaxing, as ambient should be.
For a first effort in the genre, this is really good! Tip of the hat for the final product!

Nice mix, but tempo and hot mix makes me think you've discovered a new flavor of ambient.  I enjoyed the listen!

I don't think it's exactly "Ambient", but it has a nice New Age atmosphere that I like a lot.
Well done!

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum. Nice piece. To me "Ambient" and New Age are always kind of mingle together, so classify them ether one or the other is a little difficult, at least to me anyway. I have done a few of these in the past. I like the genre. Well done.
Mike B.

Not "ambient" by any means but a pleasant, and pleasantly brief, piece.

Mission accomplished, Mark. This is good. Ray and others had me looking up the definition of "ambient." Whatever. This is the kind of music that naturally swells up around us in life, and you make life even better. Fun feel. Well done.

Alan Hi Alan! Good to virtually meet you, too! It is amazing how many people I have met online who have lived or currently live in Central Texas. I just moved to Austin from Utah 9 years ago when I transferred to a new position in my company. New Braunfels is such a gorgeous characterful town. My wife and I drive down there every couple of months to explore different parts of it and to visit the parks and little shops. I really like the Shakuhachi as well. It is a very expressive instrument with a rich history and amazingly talented players. Thanks for listening and providing your opinion on the piece. I really appreciate it, and I am going to modify my mix a bit to reduce the volume of the flute to blend better with the rest of the track Thanks, Mark

I may have listened to too much New Age music and Spa music and have been influenced by that more than pure ambient music. My wife was a massage therapist for a couple of years, and I listened to a lot of spa music in the background during those years. -- Mark

Oh, and welcome to our little place! Hi B.D. Thomas! Thanks for the warm welcome and thanks for listening to my piece! Yeah, I agree. My experiment to achieve ambient music could only fit in a very loose definition of ambient if that definition also encompassed New Age music and Spa music ;-> -- Mark

Mike B. Thanks Mike B for listening to my piece and giving your kind words! Genres can be tough to define some times and they don't have hard boundaries. Ambient and New Age are two that have lots of overlap. Glad you liked it! -- Mark

This is the kind of music that naturally swells up around us in life, and you make life even better. Fun feel. Well done. Hey Marty! Like you said, the definitions of genres are less important than the music itself and how that music makes us feel. Truthfully I agree with the others that I didn't quite achieve the strict definition of ambient and that the piece probably better fits into other genres a bit more than ambient, but that doesn't lessen the value of the music itself. Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the listen and for your kind words! -- Mark

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
