5 Ambience
The Ambience programs simulates reflections from room surfaces with random reflections, a gradual
decay of overall level, and a gradual narrowing of the bandwidth.
In these programs, the Mix control adds depth — emulating the movement of a coincident pair of
microphones from the sound source into the room.
Ambience gives warmth, spaciousness and depth to a performance without coloring the direct
sound, and is commonly used to add a room sound to recorded music or speech. In music recording,
Ambience can realistically add distance to close-miked signal.
