The Free Collection - for Kontakt 5 (Sound Effects Libraries)

echo | collective has released The Free Collection for Kontakt 5,
a suite of 4 Soundminer metadata tagged sound effects libraries,
each with a Kontakt instrument.

Camera: a Kontakt instrument and a series of samples that come from
some custom recordings of the venerable Canon 7D. It is useful for both
creating clean, straight camera sounds and as elements for clicky UI type designs.
There are also some cool designed shutter snaps that are bigger and more stylized
than the flat, clean ones.

Shrieking Dulcimer: an instrument based on the bows, scratches and dissonant
impacts of an old dulcimer recorded by Evan Arnett and Justin Shelton.
It does similar horror and creepy type musical things.

Malfunktion: a series of recordings from various software synths that
echo | collective use to create fun glitches as well as UI beeps and clicks.
It's another toolkit of strange sounds that are useful in adding spice to interface
sound design. The Kontakt instrument adds a layer of randomness that a user can create
interesting movements with by playing the same groups of keys repeatedly.

Micro Magnetic comes from a pair of magnets that are shaped like eggs and sound like
rattlesnakes as the magnetic pull causes them to collide faster and faster.
They are designed to make a super cool texture for electronic music and other
rhythmic compositions.



Price: Free.

Audacity 2.0.5 (Update)

Audacity® is free, open source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds.


Audacity is available for Windows®, Mac®, GNU/Linux® and other operating systems.


October 21, 2013: Audacity 2.0.5 Released

Audacity 2.0.5 replaces all previous versions. It fixes crashes or hangs that were
reported in Audacity 2.0.4 on some machines, and contains many other bug fixes and
stability improvements.

-(OS X) Crashes when importing audio files are fixed.
-(OS X) Files can now be opened using Finder "Open with", and by double-click or dragging to the  Audacity icon.
-(OS X) Audio Unit plug-ins are not loaded until used. This makes Audacity start faster and avoids  startup crashes due to incompatible plug-ins.
-(Windows) On a very few machines, the Windows WDM-KS low latency host caused Audacity 2.0.4 to hang or  the computer to crash. WDM-KS has been removed from Audacity 2.0.5 while we work on safely enabling  this host. WDM-KS will still be available for testing in the Windows alpha development builds.
-(Windows) Fixed a bug where Audacity would not record until the current input was reselected.
-(Linux) You can now navigate through an effect or other dialog using keyboard TAB.

Other bugs have been fixed, notably shaped dither being too loud, as detailed in the 2.0.5 Release Notes:
