Why we like it

Earns its place in the toolfarm library by pairing ultra-detailed dry recordings in the Construction Kit with ready-to-use processed sounds in the Designed collection, all captured at 192kHz.

What is BOOM Library Creatures Humanoid?

BOOM Library Creatures Humanoid is a WAV sound effects library built for the fictional, two-legged monsters of film, video games, and animation. It gathers screams, growls, snarls, grunts, and breaths across creatures like orcs, zombies, trolls, golems, and mummies, and works inside Premiere Pro as well as Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Final Cut Pro X, After Effects, and other WAV-capable software.

The set splits into two collections. The Construction Kit holds ultra-detailed dry sounds — 658 files and 7,232 sounds at 26.6 GB — in mono and stereo with two perspectives, covering 12 actions such as idle, attack, pain, death, alerted, and inhale/exhale, plus 15 male and 7 female vocal sets. The Designed collection adds 90 processed, ready-to-use files and 540 sounds across 15 creatures, using pitch shifting, formant shifting, and distortion.

Everything was recorded on Sanken CO-100K, Sanken CMS-50, and Sennheiser 8040 mics at 192kHz. A Bundle combines both collections.

Frequently asked questions

What file format are the BOOM Library Creatures Humanoid sounds in?

BOOM Library Creatures Humanoid ships as WAV files at 24-bit, with sample rates from 96kHz to 192kHz depending on the collection. The Construction Kit is recorded at 192kHz, while the Designed collection runs at 96kHz. Because they are standard WAV files, they import into any program that can handle them, including Premiere Pro, and both Windows and Mac are supported. This makes them straightforward to place directly into an existing project or process further with pitch and formant shifting.

Does BOOM Library Creatures Humanoid work with software other than Premiere Pro?

BOOM Library Creatures Humanoid is compatible with a range of audio and video tools beyond Premiere Pro, including Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Final Cut Pro X, After Effects, Vegas Pro, and Media Composer. It also works with sound-management applications such as Soundminer and Basehead, and follows the Universal Category System. Since every sound is delivered as a WAV file, it opens in any program that can handle that format, on both Windows and Mac.
