LABS: Tundra Atmos

A free virtual instrument from Spitfire Audio featuring subarctic field-recordings.

14 November 2023

Producing inspiring sounds for composers, LABS plugins are created with sonic pioneers such as Hans Zimmer, and the world’s finest musicians and studios. LABS is a series of free software instruments that are presented by Spitfire Audio, and available in an easy-to-use, dedicated plug-in. The user interface is clutter-free and focused, and features simplified controls, sliders for expression and dynamics, and a knob that can be easily customised to the user’s personal workflow.

While on various shoots in the Northern hemisphere for Albion Tundra, LABS captured the natural sounds of near-silent environments — lava flows in the volcanic hinterlands of Iceland, a lapping Scottish loch and a dense Estonian forest — treated and warped to create atmospheric textures.
