Accentize has released Chameleon Surround, taking natural room reverberation capture into the immersive audio space, for audio engineers and sound designers working in surround formats such as Dolby Atmos for film, television and gaming projects, where surround sound has become standard..
An enhanced version of Accentize Chameleon reverb, Chameleon Surround is tailored for multichannel and surround audio configurations, supporting formats up to 9.1.6. The plug-in builds on the reverb-matching technology of the original Chameleon, enhancing it for immersive 3D reverb effects. It has a library of reverbs that includes halls, small spaces and even car interiors, combined with an intuitive workflow.
Chameleon Surround incorporates intelligent 3D room estimation powered by artificial neural networks. Trained on over 30,000 reverb conditions, this AI-driven analysis provides authentic room adaptation across a range of audio formats, from mono sources to complex surround configurations. Automatic dry/wet ratio estimation further simplifies the process, delivering a perfectly balanced reverb blend with minimal manual adjustment.
More than a ‘standard’ reverb plug-in, it offers the tools needed to create fully immersive soundscapes, transporting listeners with three-dimensional effects, able to enhance dialogue in ADR, craft realistic environments for Foley and create detailed soundscapes for gaming and virtual reality.
Accentize’s new reverb solution integrates easily into various studio environments, offering a choice for sound designers working across all areas of immersive audio production, including film, television, and gaming.
