It's actually ~50 gigs I think o.O

pretty awesome.

BTW, Omnisphere is the updated version of Atmosphere. If you look in the preset browser for Omni you can see the Atmosphere library.            If you want to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first invent the universe

padwan Pad synth, never tried it but worth a shot

Superwave P8 (Roland Jp8000 clone)

Whenever doing pads or even better so atmospheric sounds its nice to layer.
Like a guitar pluck with some delay, and a slow raising saw sound with long release and a synth with some lfo highpass or bandpass playing...

most probably you need to EQ the sounds and really work on blending them together.
and of course compress, (EQ and compress is crucial for a good sounds a lot of times)

Other synths great for atmo and pads are
M42 Nebula and M51 galaxy

Also just plucked sounds with lots of reverb and delay makes for great atmospheres.... you can even record and reverse them and fade them in slowly and meet up with the original....

One of the big things about Omni is that you rarely EVER need more than one instance of it. It is 8 part multi-timbral so you can have 8 patches with their own midi/audio channel running at the same time

When I first started using it I would load up like...5 instances of it and my computer would just say FUCK YOU DUDE OUCH

But now....I rarely ever have CPU problems with it. The routing is a little tricky and specific to each DAW so I won't go into attempting to describe how to do it, but if you look in the manual or google around you can find it. Basic jist is that you create 8 new audio and 8 new midi channels, and each layer of Omni gets its own channel...so you can apply your own FX to each individual Omni channel (for instance, I prefer to use U-he UBHIK suite for FX instead of the built in phaser/flanger in Omni) and their own MIDI effects too.

If you like Omni, learn how to do this...it may be a pain to set up the first couple of times but its so worth it            If you want to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first invent the universe

the problem i can think of with having many layers of omni is that u need to eq the bass and the high hz apart. do you have another way to do that then having them in different instances of omni?

well....each layer has its completely separate midi/audio channels so you can EQ each part or effect each part independently.

It's just one Omni but its actually 8!            If you want to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first invent the universe
