BOOM Library Medieval Melee is a sound effects library for medieval combat, built around clashing steel and gore. The sounds were recorded either in BOOM Library's studios or onsite with sourced armourers, and include impacts, deflects, equips and un-equips, finishers and more, captured with Sennheiser, Sanken CO-100K and Schoeps microphones.
The collection comes in three editions. The Construction Kit holds raw source sounds — 946 files and 9,296 sounds at 19.6 GB — kept as unprocessed as possible so you can design your own audio from scratch. The Designed edition provides pre-designed, ready-to-use sounds, including GORE stabs and slices, across 145 files and 870 sounds at 2.38 GB. The Bundle combines both, totalling 1,091 files and 10,166 sounds at 22 GB.
Weapon and shield coverage spans 10 weapons and 2 shields, with 12 files per weapon and 8 per shield, and bodies and tails supplied as separate files. All audio is delivered as 24-bit 96kHz WAV (the Bundle reaching 96–192kHz) for Windows and Mac, with content info in PDF and XLS.
