Camel Audio releases 'Luftrum: Ambient' and 'Cameleon: Remixed' for Alchemy and discontinues Cameleon 5000 (29 Apr 2010)


Camel Audio has released two new Alchemy Soundbanks - Luftrum: Ambient and Cameleon: Remixed. Like all Alchemy Soundbanks, each bank is a standalone instrument in its own right, as it comes with a complementary copy of the new Alchemy Player, and costs $59 / €49 / £39.

Luftrum: Ambient is "a journey between worlds, from summer afternoons to the icy depths of space". With dense washes of warm, shimmering pads and soundscapes, gentle guitar and piano arpeggios, music boxes, delicate, and ethereal sound effects that "totter between beauty and despair", this is a particularly inspiring collection for the ambient musician, film, TV or game soundtrack composer. Its darker elements include chilling machine sounds, disturbing alien atmospheres, the voices of haunted children, water droplets, plus a sprinkling of the avant-garde. This library contains 150 presets and incorporates a 127 MB sample library full of "fascinating details covering interior and exterior atmospheres, rural ambiences, creatures at rest, and synth soundscapes".

Cameleon: Remixed is a "retro feast" of additive resynthesis and morphing. Alchemy users can now enjoy 200 presets hand-picked from the rich archive of evolving Cameleon 5000 sounds. As expected given its heritage, Cameleon: Remixed offers plenty of evolving pads and soundscapes with unique sonic flavours, along with morphed hybrids and FX exotica. The sounds are simpler and thinner than most Alchemy sounds, with a distinctly retro additive sound. The first snapshot is based on the original Cameleon sound, with each variation bringing the preset to life with additional modulation and effects.

Camel Audio has also announced that Cameleon 5000 is being discontinued, since Alchemy can do everything that Cameleon can, and a great deal more. To ease the transition, Camel Audio has converted the entire Cameleon preset library to Alchemy format, and are providing it free to Cameleon owners, along with a free copy of Alchemy Player. They are also offering Cameleon users a favourable crossgrade deal to the full version of Alchemy.

This app makes your headphones sound like a pro recording studio

Spend some time shopping for headphones, and you’ll quickly grow tired of devices claiming to present music “as the artist intended,” despite sporting vastly different sound. But what if your favorite cans actually could sound like the recording studio where your favorite music was mixed? Enter SonarWorks, a company I’m guessing you’re not familiar with, as it’s best known in audio engineering circles for tuning professional studio speakers. Now SonarWorks is turning its attention to something more mainstream by calibrating headphones to sound like those same studios. The concept is simple. First you tell SonarWorks’ software, called True-Fi, which headphones you’re using; 138 models are supported, at the time of writing. It then modifies your PC’s audio output in order to “flatten” the frequency response into something very close to the neutral sound of a professional mixing studio. And I do mean very close.
