Apple buys, shuts down Camel Audio
An official announcement hasn't come from either company. The confirmation for the buyout came via documents found on the corporate registry site Companies House, according to MacRumors. Camel Audio's address is now the same as Apple's in London, and its only director is listed and Heather Joy Morrison, who happens to be a lawyer on Apple's payroll.
Camel Audio was known for its Alchemy tools which included a wide range of sound samples, digital audio effects, synthesizers, and more.
Apple isn't talking about the buyout, so there isn't any word on how much the deal cost, or how Camel Audio's technology will show up in Apple's own products. Regardless, the mystery of why the company shut down without any warning has finally been resolved.
