The characters keep talking about it in the first couple of episodes, saying "why does that sound so familiar?" Echoing my very thoughts. I assume they're talking about that "Awooooo!" thing it does after it disappears.
That Ch-ch-ch-churr sound - sounds EXACTLY like nighttime cicadas. That sound always creeped me the hell out when I was a little kid, gave me nightmares. Now I can't go outside at night without thinking about that damn monster.
For this month's interview post I sat down with Brad Meyer, a sound effects editor here at Boom Box Post. Brad spends a lot of his time designing exciting, signature sound effects for his shows, especially vehicle sound effects, using both custom recordings and sound library material. Brad sat down with me to talk about his process for creating the signature sound effects for a demonic race car that is possessed by monsters.
This vehicle acts like a normal car physically, so I needed all of the same sound components I would use the normal car, but with some scary monsters in it. I needed accelerations with monster growls and ruckles, revs with roars, pass-bys with roars and growls and an idle with a ruckle. I created all of the elements in advance to use throughout the episode and give them a common sound.
The source for the vehicle material was a 1975 Cobra. I took the plain rev from the Cobra, and sweetened using some zombie screeches, as well as large animal roars that I processed using the Waves Doubler. This doubling effect de-humanizes the sound a little, masking the animal source and darkening it. I also added in some custom goblin recordings we had made previously, to add some high end. I layered them together, lining up the peak of the rev with the attack of the growls. I generally tried to use a similar monster sound to whatever the car was doing. For example, a rev is similar to roar, an idle is similar to a ruckle. Using like elements helps tie them together.
I basically took the monster elements I used on the acceleration file and processed them with Waves Doppler. I used a similar technique as I did with the revs to line up the monster material with the regular Cobra pass-bbys.

Being a comprehensive realistic animal sound library in its own right, the Construction Kit gives you a varied, flexible toolset to come up with incredible, daunting creations.
The CONSTRUCTION KIT delivers all files in the ultra high fidelity of 192,000 samples per second, giving you immense pitching freedom while keeping every precious detail. Twist, morph and bend the source material to the extreme and achieve monster sounds out of this world!
The DESIGNED package delivers cinematic monster sounds of various sized animals existing only in legend or on the big silver screen, such as dragons, mammoths, sabre toothed cats, great bears, basilisks and more.
Each beast features an attack, death, idle, pain and scream sound with four different variations each, giving you a diverse, yet instantly identifiable and implementable set of monster sounds to set to your target medium.
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 - I always find what I need with BOOM Library sounds and I can trust the material completely.
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. The designed sounds are fantastic and the construction kits are inspirational. 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. All things that can be twisted and turned into highly original Monsters and Beasts!
BOOM Library sound FX come as WAV files, meaning you can import and work with them in any software that can handle this file type. Here are the most common audio and video editing software tools that work perfectly with our sound FX
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.
We differentiate between sound FX and sound file. Each sound file can contain multiple variations of a sound (up to 6 variations based on the product).
That way, we assure to provide you with different styles of a single sound in one file instead of multiple files, keeping your database nice and clear and speeding up your workflow as you have multiple variations available by dragging only one file to your audio host software.
This HUGE monster pack includes all sorts of monster sounds from a wide selection of different creatures. Dragons, Giants, Lizard Monsters, Orcs, Skeletons, Werewolves, Goblins, Gnolls, Fire Monsters, Ghouls and so on.
I am a huge consumer of horror films, so the various monsters could not avoid my works either. The sound effect collection below is also inspired by several years of thrills and chills, which is ideal for horror, thriller, sci-fi or fantasy productions.
A good process to use if you are not quite sure which animals sounds to use it to look at the type of monster you are creating sounds for, does it resemble any animal on planet Earth? You can take inspiration from animals that have similar characteristics as that of the monster. Doing this can help it to sound more realistic and are relatable to the audience as the the look and sound share some likeness with creatures they have seen before.
Foley artists are typically the people to go to for organic recorded material that mimics the sound of creatures or animals. Their job is to look for natural resources that can replace an animal, human or completely fabricated creature sounds of movement.
Using foley techniques is a great way to capture the motion and feel of a sound in sync with the action, using materials you find and using them creatively can give you unique monster movement sounds that you may not be able to find naturally.
