Ambiente Update 1.4: Legacy Room Name Mapping

Modified on Thu, 30 Apr at 10:57 AM

In Ambiente 1.4, room names have been reorganized around room size, while absorption is now handled as a separate parameter: Low, Medium, or High.

In previous versions, different absorption levels were represented by different room names, even when the underlying room size was the same.

The table below shows the conceptual mapping between Ambiente 1.3 room names and the new Ambiente 1.4 room structure.

Ambiente 1.4 Room	Low Absorption — v1.3 Name	Medium Absorption — v1.3 Name	High Absorption — v1.3 Name
Recording Studio 1	Reflective Room 1	Standard Studio	Absorbing Studio
Recording Studio 2	Reflective Room 2	Listening Room 1	Large Absorbing Studio
Large Recording Studio	Reflective Large Room	Listening Room 2	Listening Room Dark
Extra Large Recording Studio	Small Church	Medium Theater	Medium Theater Dark
Small Hall	Church	Concert Hall	Large Theater Dark
Medium Hall	Cathedral	Large Concert Hall	Large Hall Dark
