This cannonade of 15 different cannons with is the most comprehensive cannon library ever to be released on the market. High-quality
26-channel recordings of fort-smashing bombards
high-angled mortars
16-pounder frigate loads
and more
these cannon blasts
impacts
and flybys are indispensable components of any sound design for any film or game action sequence set in the late medieval to early modern periods. Not just for cannon blasts
they can also be used to give trailer sound design and general explosions a much heavier punch.
CANNONS CONSTRUCTION KIT
MATERIAL IMPACTS
Included in the Construction Kit is the entirety of the cannonβs action
from blast to impact. There is a huge variety of Foley recording for impact materials that could be needed in any cannon battle scenario
including water
sand
stone
rock
wood
sails
dirt
and more.
The sounds were captured on a hill-top near a forest; the natural outdoor reverb providing ultra-crisp and full tails. With our array of modern mics β including shotguns to omnidirectional mics in AB
XY
ORTF configurations plus Ambisonics and ORTF 3D spatial audio setups β we were able to capture every sound in their full
rich intensity.
A FULL CANNONADE
Across the smoky battlefield
cannons reign supreme. These high-quality sounds donβt include just the 26 channels of raw blasting power
but also the mechanical noises
impacts
and flybys (group shots) β everything you need for total audio realism in your production
whether itβs a film
game
or podcast. With the Construction Kit there are 8 variations for each cannon
and a sampling of a range of cannons of different sizes and types.
LET FREEDOM RING
Recorded at a military base and an archery range
the hillside settings provided the perfect natural reverbs for these cannon blasts. Though with many sounds you might want a dry recording
with cannons (and other firearms) a nice
appropriate tail ensures it has a measure of realism.
CANNONS DESIGNED
A CANNON FOR EVERY OCCASION
Whether needing carronades or 16-pounders for your British naval vessels hunting pirates
bombards to take out castle fortifications
or culverins to unleash an inferno against oncoming troops
this library has got it. Weβve gone further with the Designed pack to make sure that each sound is polished and ready to use.
5 SETS OF SHOTS
Using the 26 channels and sound effects from the Construction Kit
weβve designed for your immediate use 5 sets of 15 cannons with 6 variations each. Including:
List:
Distant: The sound of cannons blasting somewhere in the distance through the smoke.
Mechanic: Cannons move and rock a lot when they go off β these include all that extra motion and are truest to the full sound of the cannonβs action.
Crisp: Processed to be more in-your-face than realistic
perfect for trailers and experimental uses.
Loud: Designed with an extra boost of volume.
Soft: For when you need dialogue over the cannons.
TRUE DRAG-AND-DROP
Our Designed sounds are always crafted with true drag-and-drop use in mind. Each of the 5 sets of cannon blasts should be more than enough for your production requirements
without you having to worry about any extra sound design. Combined with the Construction Kit to add the impacts
you will be fully locked and loaded for any cannon battle.
THE BUNDLE β The best of both worlds at a discounted price.
The Construction Kit and Designed truly stand out when used together. In the Designed part
the Mechanical Shots were crafted to provide the full process of firing the cannons. While the Construction Kit comes with all the source material so that any Foley sound you might want for further customization can be used.
