Thank you for purchasing OB Ambient Pads 2.



This Ambient Pad Bundle was created using one of my favourite OB6 pads through my BigSky reverb pedal on a completely wet shimmer setting.

These 12 minute long audio files can be used in a variety of different ways:

As ambient pad drones to fill out a worship song,

As a transition tool to bridge gaps between songs,

A soundscaping tool for live performance.

Because they are not tempo specific, they can be used in any tempo, time signature, and the bundle includes every key. They've been crafted musically to work equally well in songs that are in Major or Minor keys.

This bundle ONLY requires MainStage 3 or higher and doesn't require any additional software or plugins.

Installation

First make sure you have downloaded the whole product including the Samples. Then open the ‘OB Ambient Pads 2’ MainStage Concert. Depending on where you have installed the WAV Sample files on your Hard Drive you may be asked to locate these the first time you open the template.

Simply locate and select these files and you’re ready to do. I suggest saving your OB Ambient Pads 2 MainStage Concert immediately after locating these .wav files so that you don’t need to repeat this process the next time you open this template.

Product Description

This MainStage Template uses 24x 12 minute long wav audio files to create the Ambient Pads through MainStage’s Playback plugin. Note that each Ambient Pad will last for 12 minutes and then fade out by itself.

The two different pad types Playback uses to create these Ambient Pads are explained below:

OB2 Pad (Warm)

One of my favourite OB6 Pads through my BigSky reverb pedal on a 100% wet setting. I then added some additional Reverb and EQ to it.

OB Pad (Bright)

One of my favourite OB6 Pads through my BigSky reverb pedal on a 100% wet setting. I then added some additional Reverb and EQ to it to create a Bright version.
