Gluing the Ambience Together

“In order to glue the ambience together, you need to have the ambience talk to each other.”

This quote from Chris Lord-Alge has really stuck with me. Such a simple idea, but it really opened up my thinking around ambient effects in a mix. Creating a depth and dimension in the soundscape that’s unique and interesting, but still tasteful and appropriate. This gives me the feeling of doing a custom job - like a carpenter, fitting a piece of wood for a specific purpose in a specific structure.
