Sunday afternoons are made for exploring new sounds. I recently stumbled upon the Cloudrum plugin by Ample Sound—it’s a free steel tongue drum VST that has a really haunting, lovely resonance.
What started as a simple groove on the drum quickly evolved into this week’s full arrangement. I layered in some deep synth bass and orchestral swells using TAL Noise-Maker, then topped it off with some floaty, dreamy guitar lines on my Squier Strat.
In this video: You’ll see the full multi-layer overdub performance as I build the track piece by piece.
Gear used this week:
- Percussion: Ample Sound Cloudrum
- Synths: TAL Noise-Maker (Bass & Swells)
- Guitar: Squier Stratocaster
- DAW: Reaper
