I am aware of a wide array of 'ambiance' options on youtube, spotify, etc....
Here's what Im hoping to find, though; Imagine an online digital mixing board type webpage where I can select a general background track. this would be played on a couple small speakers, AND THEN add in specific soundds that are present in that town, at that moment.
For an example lets say a small human town general ambiance track playing in the background. I want to be able to preload various additional sound overlays and have them available at a mouse click to add in sounds like a black smith's hammer on anvil and a billows, a child crying, a group of people laughing or singing, etc. I want to be able to manipulate and adjust these sounds as I DM. This would allow me to not only add customized ambiance, but to stimulate players to investigate specific clues , and/or to give guidance and softly guide my players back to story line when they stray.
Anything like this? It doesnt even need to be gaming related... any sound engineers who know a non-gaming website that could facilitate this for me?
(Used to dabble in DJing and moreso soundscapes when I was younger, and worked with sound files and reconciling multiple audio sources for work occasionally, though I'm no Harry Caul).
A lot of people were digging on Syrenscape not too far back, I think on top of a big library of sound effects, it's music is guaranteed to not trip various streaming services copyright blocks. Never used it, but it was hyped A LOT when it came out, haven't heard much about it as of late.
So back a ways Protools was basically one of the standards for audio production. Sound is much easier digitally these days than when you had to work with physical sound media. Protools used to be a little prohibitive for the hobbyist. When I didn't have access to Protools, and on my personal laptop I'd mix with Audacity, which was free at the time (probably still is, I think it's an open source project). Audio tutorials are easy to find on Youtube, and if you like parsing up the grid so everything is fit perfectly on a battle map, you'll enjoy setting up and timing multiple audio tracks. Best way to learn how to do it is to just play around with it.

No problem. Make sure you try out the free version before you buy into it. Everything I know about Syrenscape comes from when a bunch of social media types on YouTube and the like started praising it, all at the same time, like it was sponsored orchestration or something.

That's correct. Syrinscape.com have the official music and ambience for D&D and it's completely safe for streaming or Youtube videos. You can also customise it as much as you want to with a Supersyrin subscription (they do a 30 day free trial) or just use the free version for ambient tracks like a village or a tavern etc. They even have one shots you can trigger so if you wanted, like you say, a blacksmiths hammer or someone crying, you can set that to be triggered manually. If you want any more info, just ask.
Or try something like this as it's web-based, it's free, and as you delve more into it, you can customize it even further: myNoise.net
While it is free as stated, only those who donate get access to the newest sounds and noises. Everyone else has to wait a couple of months. Considering what the site offers, that's not so long, and almost of the fantasy-ambiance generators have already been made for a while now.
Here's the generator-page for Dark Dungeon, for example :~)
It is great with music, ambiance, and sound effects. The Sound Pad is really great once you tinker around with different combinations for each of your scenes/encounters.

I count 4 super leads in your reply for me to peruse. More options than I had anticipated.
Thanks for the info, Plat!
Nailed it, Plat.
syrinscape is exactly what I had in mind. Dont know if it fits my needs exactly, yet... but you nailed my request with a perfect answer.
Thanks once again, Plat.
