Any decent VST's for ambience and pads? Had a look on google but couldnt really find anything. Willing to spend aswell as this is what im lacking most in my productions.

I forget what the team's/company's name is that makes padawan is, but they have a few other cool ones too. I think it's "Peach" that is a cool little 8-bit synth.

I've been waiting for someone to bring up padawan on here. I also think that Crazy Diamonds (though a string synth) can add some nice layers to a pad (layering, in my limited opinion, is what makes a pad).

Also if you are feeling lazy padawan has a nice randomizer function.

i know there logic only plugs but recently got some really nice results using Es E for bass/mids, Es P for mids/highs and then Es2 for some modded highs, but unless you have logic this wont help much,

My missus got me Sakura for xmas, makes some amazing strings!

Sakura is amazing I am a huge fan of physical modeling synths! Always give the best sounds (imo)

Have you ever tried DCAM Synth Squad? Its a bundle of 3 plugins. One for bass/leads(Strobe), on which is FM/Audio Rate Modulation(Cypher), and one that is specifically modeled for strings and pads (Amber). All three sound absolutely amazing man.

Isn't synth squad expensive though? Last time I checked it was like 300 quid or something mad.

Honestly, Reason combis have the potential to make some of the nicest pads if u go nuts with the devices available.

And if you have USD $479.99ish to toss around, Spectrasonics Omnisphere.

... if yer still lookin for more

Also doesn't synth squad come with one more device made for stacking/morphing between the other 3 synths?

I couldn't get on with Crystal. I actually make most of my pads in Massive...

Absynth is awesome for pads, but the interface makes me want to stab my eyes. I will sit down and learn it if it kills me though.
