The "Ambiance" is like a "listen" button on a sidechain eq. It just allows you to hear what's being removed from the signal (through gain reduction). It's a super handy tool to easily hear any pumping you'd be inducing in the signal, or to hear how much high end you're removing (fast attacks)... you get the picture ;-) Thanks for the great reviews, and all the time you spend making your wonderful videos.

@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy You find the same feature on the TDR Molotok and Molot GE compressor plugins too. It's called "Delta", and that makes way more sense. Why it's called Ambience totally eludes me, and is, I think, very confusing.

Thank you very much! I love these reviews. You are a great teacher and have helped a life-long musician with very little experience recording and mixing become a much better engineer and mixer. I really appreciate it!

I'll be using this one from P/A alot. I love this strip. The "Ambi" I will use to "see" what the compressor is doing. Thanks again Dave!!!

To me your channel is gold every time some new get released( especially plug-ins)I go check on you to see if it’s worth it and now the plug in it’s only $30 for 48 hours .. and yes I love using strip channels too ✌🏾

I gotta say this is a great tool! Regarding the mysterious AMBNC button, it gives you a quick preview of how much the signal is being affected by the compressor. Looks like it’s more of a utility button rather than an effect.

Thanks. It's nice to find reviews that use miced acoustic instruments instead of all synths (just missing a vocal here). There's a tendency in reviews to move thru A/B on/off demos to quickly (probably because the reviewer already knows the difference). I'd suggest going a bit longer during those sections (minimum a full 4 bars ON, then 4 bars OFF, repeat 2x).

I was thinking about starting to use more of these types of plugins and liked the way this sounded when played around with it. I stuck an instance on each drum track I have in a new project and straight away it added a nice glue and tightness to the drums where it cut through even at a lower level.. I get the impression you see more of a benefit with this one when tracking with it. And its also pretty decent on CPU which helps.

Hi Dave! Thanks for your review. Your drums sound phenomenal. Was it recorded live? Wow. I love your tutorials. You said this channel strip sounds a bit transparent compared to the SSL channel strip? Does the SSL channel strip have more colour to it? Also, what's your favourite channel strip to work with and why?

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy

Жыл бұрын

Thanks. Yes, the SSL is my favorite channel strip. I just like the SSL sound.

I know I'm 2 years late, lol. I ended up here because I just bought the plugin and wanted to study it before trying it. Thank you for helping us. Have you tried the Audio Assault AA-551 Channel Strip?

Great review. I think Ambience can be used for parallel compression.

Maybe its answered below didnt read all!! But whst about impedence adjustment like in uad platform. Likely to this how about latency using a channelstrip in a daw which produces latency when using a channelstrip in the recording strip/channel. In other word i am really disapointed that universal audio obviously has lost the challenge to integrate newer products into theire platform. Or in other words: where is the technical alternative to the unison platform to use amek or focusrite isa110 alike to unison
