Hi everybody!
I found out about the "Ambience" plugin when purchasing GPO and I have to admit that I love it! There are only 2 gripes for me: The lack of documentation and that I understand every setting except for the damping section.
For days I'm tring to figure out what the % (percent) value in the Damping section means.
I understand that for example with the basses knob you adjust the frequency where the eq starts damping the signal. But what does the percent value mean? Dooes it mean:
* how strong the signal will be manipulated?
* how much of the signal will remain unaltered?
* how steep a curve moving down from the starting frequency will be?
Does low % mean the signal wil be damped stronger or does it mean that the effect strength is lower?
Did anybody understand that part of Ambience? I'd also appreciate being pointed to some kind of useful manual if there is one.
Greetings
Pete
Can someone explain the Ambience damping section to me?

Wow, that was fast! Thank you!
But I fear I am too dumb to understand exactely what you mean. So does higher percentage mean that the reverb in the chosen band (treble/bass)is longer, i.e. less damped? Would you mind giving me an example? And why is it a percentage and not a ms value?

That's ok. Don't fear - you're not dumb, you just have a lack of knowledge and understanding.musicpete wrote:But I fear I am too dumb to understand exactely what you mean.
That's right. A bigger number means "more".musicpete wrote:So does higher percentage mean that the reverb in the chosen band (treble/bass)is longer, i.e. less damped
Because it's relative to the overall reverb length. This is useful because it allows you to adjust the overall reverb length without adjusting the the behaviour - the "character" of the reverb.musicpete wrote:And why is it a percentage and not a ms value?
Forever,

Aaaaaaaah! Now I get the picture! Thanks for the info!
Now I'll wade over to my sequencer and start fiddling with these values. Joy!
Is it ok, if I share this info with the friendly people at the Northernsounds.com messageboards?
Sincerely
Pete
