Every source was recorded close, so every source arrives at the same apparent distance. Depth is not something a microphone captured — it is something you build, and it takes three parameters moving together.
Here is the question this lesson exists to answer, in the form people actually ask it: how do I make something sit behind something else, instead of just making it quieter? Almost everyone reaches for the fader first, finds that the part becomes quiet rather than distant, and concludes that depth is some kind of advanced dark art.
