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 record for impact materials that you can use 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.
