A lot of work?  Yeah.  But if you want to control your sessions like a movie scene, I have never found anything better.  Now, this program might not be available anymore.  I bought it during the early 3rd editions days, so it's 15 years old and ran on Windows XP.  Also, finding music tracks from movies often requires buying the albums, but once you have it, the songs are easy to import.Track D, Dino fighting music, is from the movie Jupiter Ascending, just a so-so film, but DAMN is that a pumping soundtrack.  And appropriate for a Chult jungle adventure.  Last session, I used Z(Zombie horde) and (N) non violent dino sounds to great effect too, as well as J(jungle ambiance), a cacophony of jungle sounds that can either loop forever or just for a few seconds. Anyway, YES, ambient sounds gets my full vote.</blockquote>
