Ambience
The Ambience device plays long-form, looping atmospheres - field recordings, drones, crowd beds, etc - to fill out your scene.
(Feature set currently in Beta; functionality will expand in future releases.)
Recommended Download the free Audiocube Ambience Library (≈1 GB of 24-bit WAVs) from the Sample-Pack Downloader or the product website.

Usage Tips
Place stereo L/R nodes at different heights or depths for spacious beds.
Keep ambience levels low; a little atmosphere goes a long way.
Route ambience to a dedicated mixer channel with EQ and subtle modulation to blend it smoothly.
Ambience devices are perfect for crafting immersive backdrops - city soundscapes, forest nights, subterranean rumbles - without cluttering the main mix.
