KEY FEATURES
- howls solo and in groups from 2 to 9 – close, medium distant, distant
- very musical, polyphonic pack chorus howls in different moods
- very bassy close growls and grumbles
- fierce close growls
- jaws sounds, teeth clacking aggressively close
- tiny breaths, snorts, purrs and other small details to bring life to your visuals
- natural sequences of howls are preserved, just the intervals between the events were shortened to conserve space
- multiple takes of short one-shot sounds are compiled into bigger multi-take WAVs
- only clean recordings of wolves’ vocal and breath sounds with minimal wolves’ movement noise like rustles and dirt steps went into the library. If there are steps and rustles in the file, they are mentioned in the File Name and Description.
- The library preserves the natural large dynamic range of wolves’ vocals. The Soundcloud demo employs dynamic range limiting to match the general loudness of other vendors’ demos
SPECIAL FEATURES
- As each wolf has a special voice and manner, I provide the names of the wolves in CAPS in File Names, Description, and BWF Description. Then, when you find the sound of a particular animal you like named HORT, you can just search for HORT.
- Every audio file has the photo portrait of the corresponding wolves embedded into the Soundminer Artwork field to facilitate sorting and searching by Artwork. Photos are also included as jpg files for those who don’t use Soundminer
- I wanted to employ the latest Soundminer feature – predefined regions for the RADIUM sampler. The regions are embedded for the series of short events like teeth clacks, short growls, barks, etc.
METADATA

This is hands down THE wolf library
I don’t think there’s been a library both in terms of quality of recording and depth on the topic of wolves up to this point
I’d strongly recommend this for anyone who is rounding out their collection of animal recordings, and a no brainer for cutting wolf sounds.

Absolutely great stuff. I love that there’s a bit of air in every recording, some beautiful perspective that made the use of sounds quite immediate and fitting to picture. Clearly recorded with passion and care for the animals.

Comparing to other ASFX animal libraries that vary from superb to poor, Wolves is a top tier library and for the price it is amazing.
The library has width with many different wolves and sounds that they make. Recordings have a lot of depth and the quality is amazing.
If you need wolves, here is your pick.
