Ambience Urban Collection Guide
The Ambience Urban collection consists of a comprehensive range of urban ambiences. The subprojects are subdivided into Interior and Exterior, and Additional. The Underground subproject is an exception because its sounds can be in both categories.
Like all Strata Ambience collections, some subprojects are arranged to mix ambisonically
using the IEM plug-ins in third order and to render to a range of multichannel options
derived from the third-order mix. In the case of Ambience Urban, the Interior and Exterior,
and Underground, all projects are ambisonic mix projects. Their intended function is to
provide the base layers of Ambience with the Additional subprojects providing elements for
increased variation of the sound of an Ambience played along with the base layers.
To keep the downloads to an efficient size, a Stereo render is included in the collection
download, and can be auditioned in the Urban Ambiences project.
The subprojects are arranged to enable auditioning, depending on your monitor systems, and
rendering in a full range of formats. By default, they are configured to monitor in Stereo.
The Additionals subprojects are like conventional Stereo projects and are configured to
monitor and render in Stereo and or Mono. The collection is designed so that the Interior
and Exterior projects combine to provide the base layer of an ambience with sounds from the
Additional subprojects used simultaneously as required for specific augmentation.
The subprojects have Parameter Control tracks that affect multiple tracks and the plug-ins
to enable customization of the ambiences, with a range of intuitive names to describe their
effects on the mix.
The complete list of all the subprojects and their associated data and embedded metadata
is available in the accompanying Ambience Urban SoundBook.
