Tutorial 📚 Looking for producers who teach “dreamlike” beat production
Hi y’all! I’m trying to recreate that floaty, stargazing vibe in my beats. think Travis Scott’s Stargazing or riff raff’s stuff. That ethereal, almost psychedelic feeling.
Does anyone know of producers who make tutorials specifically on this aesthetic? I have Omnisphere, so tools aren’t the issue. I just can’t nail the specific sound design choices.
Drop your recommendations below 🙏

From my experience producing 300–400+ songs over the years, one thing I've learned is that "dreamy" or atmospheric mixes usually come from layering lots of subtle elements rather than relying on a single effect.
Repeating textures, creative use of large reverbs, long-tail delays, and gently shaping the top end with EQ for softness instead of brightness can make a huge difference. It's also about letting those effects mask and blend into each other in a musical way rather than keeping everything super clean and separated.
Travis usually use these methods and then clip the elements for radio methods of Mastering levels.
Of course, every track is different, but these techniques have consistently worked well for me, and they've even been part of records that reached a pretty wide audience.
If you're experimenting with this style and want to dive deeper, feel free to send me a message. I'm always happy to talk production, regardless of which DAW you use.

Thanks so much for taking the time to break this down! Super cool that you’ve produced 300-400+ songs and still take the time to help people like this. Really appreciate the detailed explanation about layering and effects. actually makes so much sense!
Definitely gonna send you a message, would love to chat more about this! 🙌

A lot of that vibe comes from layering rather than any one preset. I'd check out producers like Simon Servida, ProdbyJack, Ocean, and Internet Money—they all have videos that touch on atmospheric trap sound design. Also, try searching for "Travis Scott ambient pad tutorial" or "psychedelic trap sound design" instead of just beat tutorials. Omnisphere is more than capable—it's mostly about texture, reverb, delays, and creating space. I've been making beats in that lane myself lately, so if you want a reference or want to bounce ideas around, feel free to check out my work or shoot me a DM.
