The review seems to imply that the destination recording must always be dry, which isn't always the case. How does Chameleon handle wild lines an actor records at home? Does it remove existing verb before applying its own? Also, all the examples are long tails. I'd love to hear how it handles a short verb, say like in a car...
To be honest, it's a bit tricky to tell if it's good enough for production purpose. At some moment, I feel it pretty close to what I want, but sometimes it really gives a result that's far different from the reference track.
It wasn't that close. They should test this on Spitfire toms using close, tree, room, and outrigger mics for distance and stereo imaging variety, then put a VSL tom from the VI series, (or synchronized VI series ran dry), as that's as dead dry as you can get... then compare them. Voice and flutes aren't hard at all. Guitars aren't. Loud and low instruments like a Timpani or Tuba are the most challenging as they excite the room most. Convolution problems have existed for years. I'm happy to see people doing this work, but for $300-$500, this isn't close enough IMHO. If a v2 comes out that can fool me with a hall like Lyndhurst, then I'd buy it. There are many rooms I'd love to "capture", if only a matched estimate..
We love when company’s use super clickbaity titles promising how to teach actually difficult subjects by using a product they want you to buy instead of actually teaching you how to do that thing the product is doing.
