Could Apple be thinking about stepping up their game in the audio software department, like with GarageBand and Logic Pro X? Perhaps, and there has been recent evidence to support the theory. Earlier this year audio software developer Camel Audio announced that they would be shutting down, but they did not specify why.
However recent evidence has surfaced that seems to suggest that Apple could have acquired the company, thus leading to their shutdown. Neither Apple nor Camel Audio have confirmed this, but if anything we can probably expect Apple to make some kind of boilerplate statement regarding their acquisition anyway.
So where is the evidence? For starters, Camel Audio’s address is now the same address as Apple UK’s offices. Secondly, the company’s board of directors has been updated. All the directors have since been removed and replaced with one person – Heather Joy Morrison who happens to be a member of Apple’s legal team. If this doesn’t sound like an acquisition, we don’t know what does.
The company is responsible for creating software such as Alchemy and while we have no idea what Apple plans on doing with them, like we said earlier chances are that they might be folded into the teams behind Apple’s other audio products.
