•Sample Source: The video featured a variety of sounds including animal and pad sounds, enriched with lo-fi elements like tape saturation and noise. This diversity makes it an excellent resource for ambient music without purchasing new synthesizers.
•Capturing Audio: I used a system audio bridge tool to route Windows audio output directly into Bitwig, allowing for direct recording into the sampler.
•Sampler Setup: I set up the sampler in Bitwig to manipulate these sounds. Key techniques included adjusting playback speed, adding reverb, and utilizing a granular sampler to vary playback positions within the samples.

Musical Structure:
•Scale and Key: I identified the scale and root note to maintain harmonic consistency.
•Dynamic Variations: By varying velocity and applying effects like reverb and delay, I added depth and texture.
•Looping and Layering: I looped certain sections and layered different sounds to build up the track.

Additional Elements:
•Minimal Beat: Introduced a simple beat to complement the ambient textures.
•Bass Line: Added a monophonic bass line to ground the track.
•Effects: Employed a glitch effect and high-pass filtering to enhance the atmospheric quality.

Final Touches: Integrated environmental sounds, like recorded rain, to enrich the aural landscape.
This session demonstrated how effectively one can utilize freely available YouTube samples to craft a chill-out tune, highlighting creative sampling and effect application in Bitwig.
