Very good question. > Although unrelated, I found this: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presence_(sound_recording) It may or may not be related, although it does have to do with little details that contributes to support the main expression. Those are also called Foley sounds. The use if highly creative. It can be a sound of dry leaves being brushed, tailored and mixed with a snare. It can be just the sound of 'the air' in the countryside, mixed in. It would interesting for this recording, to remove the reverb, add tailored 'countryside air ambiance' sounds (it can be very subtle, no need for blowing wind !) and only then reintroduce reverb. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
