What is the best way to get field recordings on an iphone?

I have always used to native voice recorder but I’m not actually sure what it records in or if there is something better out there.

Is This Ambient?

In my opinon it could be considered ambient. It has drone elements and you could consider the beat as (super complex) drone sound, too?

I use ambient music everyday when I'm working (as a software engineer). I'm now building a tool that would allow me to build my own spatial audio rooms

Disclaimer: this is not a promotion, I'm just sharing a personal project of mine

I made a small Mac app that mixes ambient sound in space instead of with volume sliders. You drag each sound around a circle, so you can put rain behind you, a fire up close in front, wind off to one side, and it actually pans where you place it

I mostly built it for myself to work and fall asleep to

Ethereal ambient song in nyc

GUYS PLS HELP! I heard this beautiful, ethereal, ambient song 2 years ago and I’ve tried EVERYTHING to find it. If anyone knows what it’s called or, even what genre/style of music it is, please share!! What instrument (physical or technological) produces such a transcendental sound? What words can even describe this song so I can search for more music like it?

Anyone else here making ambient music? Just started my own project

Hey everyone, I recently started my own ambient project after mainly making EDM for over 10 years. It's been a really refreshing change of pace, and I'd love to connect with others here who are doing something similar.

Are there other people in this sub currently working on their own ambient stuff? I'd love to hear what you're making and maybe swap tracks or feedback.

Happy to share a link if anyone's curious, but mostly just excited to meet people who love this kind of music.

Noise wall formed out of a simple loop

This was something that I’ve recorded in late December/early January and I’ve finally gotten around to trimming and editing the original video into something that I could post(I was not going to post over 9 minutes of this). My signal chain was as followed:
Vintage Les Paul copy - KOMA FIELD KIT FX - EQD Blumes - EHX Green Russian Reissue - EHX Bass Clone - DBA Disturbance - Danelectro Back Talk - BOSS PN-2 - Walrus Audio MAKO D1 - Zoom ms-70cdr - Fender rumble 40 or cheap PA system I don’t really remember

How are you listening to Bandcamp music on your phone?

Hello! So I had a friend put out a new work on bandcamp and, since I don’t use Apple Music anymore, even though I have an iPhone, I had to turn it into a file and just open it that way. But for music that isn’t on anything but bandcamp or if you just wanna listen to stuff you’ve purchased or downloaded on it, how are y’all doing this? I mean, I have like a creator app, but I’m not even sure if they have a listener app, if that makes sense?

Apologies if this is easier said than done I just don’t know that I wanna download another app if it’s a waste of time. Thank you!

Looking for library music similar to Swarm by Karman Line Collective

https://youtu.be/T4zz8TMAb3M?si=ANPgEudDeJ9Y_UpI

Can someone help me find a song similar to this? The whole thing is driven by a dark, metronomic, clock-like pulse, nice textures and layered sounds.
I’m subscribed to musicbed and artlist but I really struggle to find anything similar.

Three things I like about Mary Anne Hobbs

  1. She plays occasionally Japanese music - I don’t know much about Japanese music, but I enjoy learning about it.

  2. She plays ambient music, which sometimes I’m very much in the mood for.

  3. She plays a lot of female artists - for example, Nina Simone, Patti Smith, The Slits, PJ Harvey, etc.

6Music is richer for having Mary Anne.

How many of you enjoy horror ambient with heavier electronic elements?

Does anyone else here enjoy horror ambient mixed with heavier electronic elements like dubstep? I love slow-building dark soundscapes, unsettling atmospheres, eerie drones, and then letting everything explode into a heavy drop. Curious if there are others into that style or if you lean more toward pure ambient.
