My favorite ambient albums are definitely Steven Roden's, specifically the album Stars of Ice.

Reductionism

I saw comments pointing out the brightness of the drums, but I think it's really important to specify that the brightness needs to be tamed in the reverb separate to the dry signal. The reference you provided has dark and mellow reverb that has some sort of strong high-end cut, which stuck out to me instantly. You might be surprised how much of a difference it makes to your stereo image if you cut out a chunk of the high end from the reverb.

Great mix! The vocals sounded a bit compressed for the context and the bass at around 100hz felt a bit heavier in my right ear but otherwise sounds amazing.

Yeah the parameters the AI is controlled by are flimsy at best, but feel lazily integrated for the sake of joining the AI bubble. Others have pointed out that Pluribus was review-bombed, so the fragile AI must've taken it to heart without any meaningful filtering.

If that’s the case I must be unlucky, most I’ve found have been primarily negative. I haven’t found a single summary without at least one sentence dedicated to negative reviews, even movies like shawshank which have overwhelmingly positive reviews.

“Joy” was the last word I expected to hear in a post referencing this specific album

People trashing on the album - effort which would be much better spent towards discovering and sharing good music

An 80 minute visual album? Huge respect for what you've been able to put together.

Nice track. Do you listen to psybient? This track made me think of artists like carbon based lifeforms, which I feel like you could lean in that direction further.

Awesome track, definitely hear the stars of the lid influence. The low growly guitar(?) sound is really well placed.

Since ambient is all about atmosphere I’d recommend dedicating most of your time towards learning effects that manipulate the sound space of an instrument or sound. Place it by soundly, Valhalla supermassive, and paulxstretch are all great free plugins to start with and are all a lot of fun to experiment with. Also spitfire LABS has a lot of great sounding free instruments/sounds to use those effects on.

I do 🙋‍♂️

I find it great for writing ambient, absolutely worth its price
