WHAT WE RECORDED
Creating CROWDS – WAR & BATTLE was quite challenging, because in order to be able to achieve the flexibility we tested for years how to combine most effectively very granular recordings with actually complete crowds. Eventually we started by recording a vast collection of single voice one-shots with local actors, capturing everything from attack shouts to pain and fear screams.
These raw performances became the foundation for creating dynamic sequences and group shouts of varying intensities, sizes, and distances using various methods of processing. To get a more open spacing and reflections, we recorded a group of actors in the field, separating male and female actors to make it as versatile as possible. We positioned different mic setups for multiple distances and perspectives.
We also recorded big stadium crowds and riots and used this material to create realistic background “wash” layers, which can be used highly controllable to get the realistic depth of such huge crowds. The result is a versatile Battle Crowds Toolbox, giving you all the building blocks — individual voices, different group sizes, intensities, mic positions, and a vast amount of different actions to craft the perfect battle scene for your project.
WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS LIBRARY?
CROWDS – WAR & BATTLE stands out for its versatility and depth, giving you full control over your battle crowd sound design. It combines real outdoor group recordings — captured with a 22-channel mic setups for different perspectives — with expertly crafted assembled groups that offer a range of sizes, distances, and intensities. This ensures you get both authenticity and flexibility in your mix.
Additionally, a dedicated set of single voices allows you to highlight key moments, like a lone warrior’s scream or a panicked shouts cutting through the chaos. By layering these elements, you can build anything from an intimate skirmish to a full-scale war, making it perfect for films, games, and immersive battle scenes. For the best results, start with the assembled groups as your foundation, enhance realism with the outdoor recordings, and use single voices to add detail and impact where needed.
Whether you’re designing for film, TV, or games, the library is a solution tailored for professional use. Pair it with other BOOM Library products to create immersive combat soundscapes that captivate audiences and enhance storytelling.
