You're right.
During recording ambiance is alway's added, from the studio/room itself, most of the time inperceptable, mostly from digital processing wich sucks.
In years gone by echo chambers were used (the famous chambers of Capitol for example) or added delay, reverb with tape and heads extra for it. ( Sun slapback echo for example) That sounded more natural than all that digital fiddling around.
No ambiance like the early Hank Snow, Hank Williams and the recording principles of the fifties mono recordings have my preference, my own livingroom is the ambiance, I don't like thatmassive ambiance on most recordings like in the first years of stereo and now on multichannel. Al annoying tricks.

Surely you must understand the difference between how effects are applied at 4 or more different stages in the process, as well as, how individual instruments or sounds are "located" in a virtual SOUNDSTAGE: (yes that is the correct term), - at mix-down or before.

Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
Sordidman,
Right.
Personally I prefer as little or no postprocessing like the mono fifties high fidelity recordings. See my post of "Espana" by Felix Slatkin on Capitol FDS series. The stereo version is only panned a little, no artificial ambiance added, where have those ears of the vintage HiFi boys gone. Nowaday's it's all effect, ambiance, reverb, dynamic compression, one has utmost difficulties hearing the music/vocal themselves or enjoy an earpleasing natural dynamic sound.
