Ambience Generation
The ambience and reverb effects in the DC-1 — Nightclub, Concert Hall,
Church and Cathedral — synthesize the side and rear sound of several
different acoustic spaces. Rather than extracting the acoustic cues of the
original hall from the recording, they generate a new environment, effec-
tively enlarging and improving the acoustics of your listening room. In
these effects the original stereo channels are presented basically unaltered
to the main loudspeakers, and new signals are generated for the side and
rear loudspeakers.
