IMO the ZynAddSubFX pads are pretty good. Just listen through the presets and find some you like.

Alright, thanks!

This song is also a bit of my inspiration. I'm trying to imitate the choir at the beginning. A very soft and high pitched one but when I use the choirs from zyn, they just sound too synthesized.

Lovely song.
I saw it on your soundcloud page, days ago.
And I listened to it, like 4 times in a row. :D

Yep.
Vst choir sounds, always in most cases, sound too synthesized and in many cases, they sound fake too.
But they sometimes, come in handy. :)

It is possible, that they might, have used a filter effect on that choir sound and possibly some reverb,
to get that airy effect.
Believe it or not, these days I'm trying to make choir sounds, for a music project of mine.
The hard part, is trying to get it to sound right. :P

"Lovely song....like 4 times in a row..." Haha isn't it? Pffft. I listened to it 10 times in a row, no joke! Lol!

Definitely. I know instances that they do come in handy, just not for this project ;)

Indeed. I hear ya, man!

Random question: What genre is your song going to be?

Ok here's another question relating to chill music. (Why waste space when I can just post here :P)
This song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDjegHtelng
at the 1:53 to 1:59 or something mark there's this "whoosh" like a train passing by. I need help creating that as white noise doesn't really fit with it. Any tips? Thanks :)

Wooah! Interesting sound.
I'll be honest, I have no ideaZ how to make that sound, in Synth 1 or any other synth. :P
The best advice I can give you for now, is to find a free sample of that sound on the net.

If anyone has any tips or tricks, on how to make this sound, feel free to tell us. :)

You can get a lot of good effects similar to that and some brilliant thunder noises from the free https://www.kvraudio.com/product/sounds ... e_by_xoxos (some good tweety birds and insects too).

Windows only, but I use them all the time in my ambient/chill stuff. A bit of thunder well down in the background mix is great for a darkish atmosphere.
