    What our clients think about Black Powder

    From time to time our clients directly approach us to tell us what they especially like about a specific sound pack. We'd like to share this with you.

    David Philipp
    Sound Designer / The Noiseworks Ltd

    Total War: Warhammer, ANNO 1404, The Elder Scrolls Online etc.

    For the Total War: Warhammer release trailer I  created some layers of the big impacts using pitched down versions of the BLACK POWDER and HISTORICAL- FIREARMS libraries. Generally speaking, whenever we are missing certain sound effects we know that they will be available in one of the many construction kits. They are absolutely irreplaceable.

    Skip SoRelle
    Sound Designer / SoRelle Sound

    I recently completed the sound design and re-recording mix on an IMAX film for the Maryland Science Center's theater in Baltimore Maryland. If it weren't for the excellent cannon and firearms recordings from BOOM's "Black Powder" and "Historical Firearms" libraries, this film would not have sounded nearly as good as it does. The variations and long-tail reverbs on the cannons were especially helpful in placing the shots in space, since most of the cannon shots take place over water. The BOOM recordings really put the huge IMAX speakers to work.
