The art of sound design is a fascinating topic, and the creative possibilities for both original sound sources and special processing techniques are literally endless. This month, our sound experts have slaved away over a massive collection of striking impacts, glitch effect sounds, eerie echoes and raspy atmospheres. Starting with a large selection of found sounds, vocals, guitars, effects and an SH-101 synth, the raw sounds were subjected to some intense processing and granular sampling via Camel Audio’s Alchemy. You’ll find more than140 individual hits to use in your tracks and media projects, plus eight multisampled atmos pads with accompanying Kontakt instruments.
