Ambience
The Ambience parameter basically controls how much colouration your control room should add to your audio material - in other
words: if you want the acoustics of your room to be “dry” or really “wet”. You should be aware of the fact that in reality the room
sound has quite a big influence on your spatial impression and also on the sound of your loudspeakers. For this reason very low
“Ambience” settings tend to be slightly unrealistic, because your virtual control room is turned into an anechoic chamber.
Please note that this parameter also influences the volume of your reproduced audio material to a certain degree. For high
“Ambience” settings you will probably have to use the master volume fader (see 8.4 “Volume Controls”) for some makeup gain.
Note:
Please note that the controls for the “Room Setting” are interactive! For instance, when setting “Distance” to “0”, your virtual
speakers will be “nailed” to your ears and you will obviously not hear any difference when adapting the “Ambience” or “Size” of
your room. Likewise, if you turn “Ambience” to “0” (which simulates an anechoic chamber), high “Distance” settings will influence
the volume, but not the reflections in your control room, as there are no reflections in an anechoic chamber.
