hey, anyone know how to create sci-fi or "dark/deep" sounds + athmospheres? i know its about layering (low cuttet pads and reverbed stuff together) but i want to know how to get the best and fastet results with the virus, because this beast can sound VERY creepy and also dreamy.

The way I usually go about it is by incorporating sounds from 3 families:
- A bass drone. A simple sawtooth through lowpass is the bread and butter, but you can try other things and add slow evolving modulations to the timbre.
- High string type sounds playing melodies and/or minor/diminished/augmented/suspended chords.
- Sound effects. Processed natural sounds work best since they have that "familiar yet strange" effect.
Good luck!

As it happens, I plan on making a new Bootcamp video very soon on this exact subject - so watch this space!
