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.
MATERIAL IMPACTS
Included in the Construction Kit is the entirety of the cannon’s action, from blast to impact. There is a huge variety of foley
recordings 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 – including shotguns to omnidirectional mics in AB, XY, ORTF configurations plus Ambisonics and ORTF 3D spatial
audio setups – 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 don’t include just the 26 channels of raw blasting power,
but also the mechanical noises, impacts, and flybys (group shots) – everything you need for total audio realism in your production,
whether it’s 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.
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. We’ve 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, we’ve designed for your immediate use 5 sets of 15 cannons with 6 variations each. Including:
Distant: The sound of cannons blasting somewhere in the distance through the smoke.
Mechanic: Cannons move and rock a lot when they go off – these include all that extra motion and are truest to the full sound of the cannon’s action.
Modern: 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.
