Hey I've been workin' on an ambient intro but I can't quite get it to sound spacey/hollow/atmospheric enough. I've got a high attack/reverb/phasers on multiple synths layered at different frequencies but what else would help the sound.

well for ambient your not gonna want a whole lot of synths and things. and send delays are your friend

There has been a lot of discussion on this in the past. A great start is often to used timestreched vocal samples or the sounds of your keys rattling or something and then pitch it down and whack a hall reverb on it, not even necessarily on a send to get it sounding really thick and screwed up.

Also automatic double tracking on atmospheric parts is cool.

Yea what I wanted was like a Halo theme song type of thing but I cant do that but what's automatic double tracking?

Its where you emulate double tracking by duplicating a track, nudging it forwards by a few milliseconds and then you pan the original copy left and the duplicate right. The difference in the time between each ear hearing the sound makes you perceive the stereo image being wider. Used on guitars a lot. I think nirvana used to double track absolubtly everything except bass and drums.

You can make some low drones with pitched down samples (choir, cellio, ..).
Delay, Reverb, auto-pan, bandpassed white noise, parallel notch filters, granular stuff ...
Sometime it's sounds nice when you have different processing on the dry sound and the wet sound full of reverb.

There's a discussion of intro pads/ambience here that might help - http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.p ... 0#p2908413

Timestretching, lots of reverb, lowpassing and delay are your friends when it comes to ambiance
