I've been seeing them a lot in samplepacks lately and I'm assuming they are short for "Atmosphere".
I'm mainly asking because I've been hearing one in particular in this song by Danny Kolk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj7tF-7gnrc.
It pretty much goes throughout the entirety of the track, stopping momentarily right before the drop and some other places. It sounds like synthesized strings.
Does anyone a) Know what atmos are, and b) Have any good tips on designing them / putting them in the mix?
