Recreating the reverberations of a performance location (AMBIENCE)

This feature recreates the ambience, meaning the sound heard from the overhead mic that picks up sounds from the entire drum kit, how the drums reverberate depending on where they are played and how the drums sound.

You can obtain a more natural and present drum sound by adjusting the overhead mic sound, the type of room and its size (room ambience), the reverberation (reverb) and so forth.
