Spanish term or phrase: ambientación sonora enfática
Dear colleagues,

I am translating a text for a new TV series about a man who has a gift for rehabilitating horses. The term I'm looking for appears under the title 'REALIZACIÓN / ESTILO', and this is the whole paragraph in which it appears:

PUESTA EN ESCENA Y DISCURSO CREATIVOS, adaptados al perfil y potencial de cada protagonista. Información + reacciones: entrevistas en movimiento, edición por jumping cut, ambientación sonora enfática, grafismo activo con línea narrativa complementaria y autónoma. Geolocalización por Google Earth y mapas activos 2D, 3D.

emphatic/dramatic sound effects


Explanation:
The author is describing the various techniques he/she will use to achieve the desired effects in the show. While we could see the term more as "soundtrack," the fact that the author qualifies it with "enfática" makes it appear to refer to individual sound moments. Collins Dictionary (see reference below) defines the term in the context of radio as "sound effects," and it seems to me that we're talking about dramatic, dynamic or emphatic sound effects that work to highlight a particular moment in the show.
