BOOM Library Boom Medieval Life Bundle

Authentic sfx, ambiences and textures from the middle ages

Ever struggled to find unobtrusive sounds without any traffic noise to create historic backgrounds? Well we did, so we decided to create a library to address that.

Countless design possibilities

MEDIEVAL LIFE – CONSTRUCTION KIT with hundreds of single stereo source sounds from the categories Action, Craft, Animal, Work, Voice, Mechanical as well as hundreds of Location recordings (some of them in Stereo and 5.0 Surround sound) has a size of more than 34GB.

Ideal for historical and fictional games, movies and tv

MEDIEVAL LIFE – CONSTRUCTION KIT is a real treasure when it comes to quickly designing the background ambience of a movie or game scene. As the sounds are meant to create a convincing background soundscape, the source sounds were recorded in distance to the microphone to capture the original medieval environments and to provide you with a nice open room environment right from the start without having to add complex synthetic reverb or impulse responses.

Build peaceful villages or bustling town centres

Close your eyes and imagine the manifold sound atmosphere of medieval places. Imagine farms with cackling chicken, the mowing of sheep, the noise of trotting horse hooves, the opening and closing of old doors and an axe chopping some wood in the background. In the cities and castles, imagine the echoes of distant persons, the shouting of street vendors, the rattling of iron chains and the constant hammering of the blacksmith. We have recorded the sound of this historical era for you with many facets.

Authentic and believable, yet quick and efficient

This collection is an incredible high-quality time-saver that you’ll never want to miss again. Creating rich and vivid medieval background sound atmos like a market place or an encampment can be really time consuming as you have to find and include numerous different sound sources and place them within your stereo or surround environment. What if you could just drag and drop completely pre-designed medieval background ambiences right into your project?

Highly versatile, production ready environments

This is where MEDIEVAL LIFE DESIGNED starts to save you precious time. You’ll get 50+ ready-to-use, completely pre-designed medieval places like campsites, construction sites, farmyards, courtyards and market places. All of them in different sizes, multiple variations and long enough to loop them without sounding repetitive. What, you have a surround environment? We got you covered

DESIGNED, CONSTRUCTION KIT, BUNDLE - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

CONSTRUCTION KIT – THE SOURCE SOUNDS

A CONSTRUCTION KIT generally contains thousands of sounds as raw as possible and only as processed as needed for a specific topic, perfectly organized to make it easy for you to use them. Carefully selected, those sounds give you all the freedom and possibilities you need to design your own sounds within the given topic from scratch. For some topics it is difficult to provide recordings only, so you will find some pre-processed or synthesizer based sounds in those collections as well, but still only basic material, since we don’t want to offer it compressed to the maximum or similarly mutated. After all, the CONSTRUCTION KIT serves as such for ourselves, namely in the following process of creating the respective DESIGNED collection.

DESIGNED – THE PRE-DESIGNED & READY-TO-USE SOUNDS

The DESIGNED collections feature fully designed sounds which originate from the CONSTRUCTION KIT stock. The sounds are of a specific topic and ready to use: mixed, processed, compressed, mastered etc. They can be easily put into all kind of projects, for example trailers, commercials, movies, TV shows and so forth or used as in-game sounds. This collection provides a quick and easy workflow and you can still use those sounds as a basic and layer, stretch or otherwise adjust them to suit your specific needs.

BUNDLE – THE MONEY-SAVER

The bundle is the best option as it contains both, the DESIGNED and the CONSTRUCTION KIT at a reduced price.

WHAT WE RECORDED

Most of the sounds were recorded in authentic medieval environments in Germany. We went out to visit medieval heritage sites like ruins and castles. For the market place recordings we went to farmers markets around the cathedral in Mainz, Germany that was built around 975 A.D. A perfect place to capture the spirit of medieval market places.
On our trip we recorded the hard life of people living in this era. We recorded medieval farm sounds like animals, mechanics of old tools, hurly-burly on marketplaces, blacksmiths hammering metal and working with wood, church bells, voices and a lot more.
