What we recorded
We recorded a high amount of specific animals in Europe and Africa that promised the key sounds suitable to build impressive, characteristic fictional monsters from. Additionally, our sound designers used their own vocal chords, throats and mouths to the extreme, creating menacing and beastly monster sound elements. Finally, we found unconventional ways to emulate creatures with uncanny similarity using various props, objects and instruments.
Most of the recordings are recorded with a Sanken CO-100K microphone, which offers a frequency response up to 100kHz for highly processable recordings.
WHAT THE PROS SAY ABOUT MONSTERS & BEASTS
MONSTERS & BEASTS is being used by audio professionals across the industry. Let’s hear their first impressions:
Working with raw material that sounds fantastic and is meticulously organized are both astonishingly important aspects of my work as a sound designer. Working with sounds I can trust and find easily means that I can focus my time and energy on being creative, and I value that immensely. It doesn't matter if I'm designing sounds for an enormous monster in a dome theater film, a cute mushroom for a pixel art game or an immersive nature ambience for VR -Â I always find what I need with BOOM Library sounds and I can trust the material completely.
I am a big fan of BOOM libraries and own most of what they've put out. I work with Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and have done many of their shows over the years. I've used BOOM’s libraries on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell, 12oz Mouse, Harvey Birdman, and almost exclusively used their car and weapon libraries on a show called Archer, years ago. I'll be starting new shows soon and will be looking to their libraries for a variety of different elements. Working primarily in Animation, I find the need to do a lot of Foley or look to the more obscure sound libraries to help build things that don't always exist in the real world. Libraries like BOOM’s Sci Fi, Magic, Fire, Destruction and the different animal libraries are hugely helpful.
In every game I work on, I try to make good use of all the different sounds that my kids make around the house. By layering those sounds with some great BOOM creature source, I can ensure that we have completely unique creatures in our games.
Working on MONSTERS & BEASTS with BOOM was a great experience, and we are already planning for the next ones. The source in this library is amazing. It provided us with unique assets that we could then manipulate further to create the sounds of the fantastic beasts in Anthem.
MONSTERS & BEASTS is another great release from Boom. A broad array of sounds to fit any creature feature and all with the punchy low end we know and love from Boom. Being able to access the raw recordings, as always, is fabulous.
The Team at Boom Library have done it again with a huge array of sounds for MONSTERS & BEASTS. Â The designed sounds are fantastic and the construction kits are inspirational. Â One thing I like to do is look for non animal or human sounds that can be shaped into a monster vocal. This kit includes off the beaten track ideas such as an Accordion, Plungers and Styrofoam. Â All things that can be twisted and turned into highly original Monsters and Beasts!
What's so special about this library?
Teaming up with BioWareâ„¢, developer behind the Mass Effectâ„¢ and Dragon Ageâ„¢ series, we had the privilege of working with the experts on lifelike creatures in video games and profiting from the high standards stretching across this project.
While MONSTERS & BEASTS can be used for all kinds of creature sound design (including aliens), it was specifically targeted at the mythical and real beasts accompanying human and pre-human history and fiction. This gives the library a grounded, familiar, even an overwhelming feel, like an undiscovered part of our legacy.
