RENOWNED WEAPONS

These were the weapons that defined the battles they were in. High-quality sounds of this grade and caliber are an absolute necessity for sound design in a game, film, movie, or podcast that broaches the subject of World War II, and will work for anything to do about guns – crime, sports, war, and so on. Boom have included 10 different shots for each gun, and, depending on the weapon, they have also recorded single, burst and fully automatic firing. This allows for maximum versatility for fast workflows.

PRISTINE, NATURAL REVERB

The sounds were captured on a hill-top near a forest; the natural outdoor reverb providing ultra-crisp and full tails. With an array of modern mics – including shotguns to omnidirectional mics in AB, XY, ORTF configurations plus Ambisonics and ORTF 3D spatial audio setups – Boom were able to capture every sound in their full, rich intensity.

ULTRA-REALISTIC SHOTS AND FX

Not only were the firing sounds included, but also all the mechanical sounds as well. Boom recorded everything from reloading/changing magazines, pickups to cocking actions, and dryfire. They even managed to capture bipod sounds when the gun had one.

WHAT WAS RECORDED?

Boom scouted for a recording location that would be perfect for truly astounding firearm reverb tails, which not only make the shot sound naturally bigger, but also keeps it flexible enough for indoor use or to place it anywhere else. With an array of sub machine guns, light machine guns, pistols, and rifles, Boom hauled up the hillside and began shooting.

For every firearm, this collection includes handling sounds such as pickups, reloads, cocking, and dryfire.

WHAT SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS LIBRARY?

As time advances, sounds from truly genuine weapons of the World War II-era are becoming increasingly hard to find. Boom handled only authentic weapons made during the period, and no later reproductions.

With all these channel options, using your DAW you can mix the different microphones exactly the way you want to achieve exactly the sound you are after. For example: Do you need a more mechanical sound? Simply boost the mic that was attached to the shooter’s trigger, wrist, or collar. Need something with more distance? The Sennheiser AMBEO VR Mic captured the sound from 100 meters away. This setup provides for the ultimate level of customization in your sound design.
