I am currently knee-deep into recording an extremely comprehensive auxiliary percussion library for Boomboxlibrary.com. The idea is to produce pristine recordings which we (and other sound editors) can use as source material for new creative sound design.
As the recordings pile up (and I procrastinate having to edit them all) I have been playing around with some of them, just to see if my hunch was correct; that these would help me create great cartoon sound effects that are high quality and new but harken back to the classic Hanna Barbera sounds we all know so well.
2020 was a year unlike any other. So much so that it was hard to put into words how we felt about it. For that reason, at the end of the year I asked our Boom Box Post team to pick a sound effect that they felt best described 2020. We had so much fun with that post that we thought we would do it again this year. So again I asked the BBP team, “If 2021 was a sound effect, what would it be?”
Here at Boom Box Post, it is our job to bring the shows we work on to life with sound. Our editors have perfected the art of storytelling and conveying emotion through sound design. I thought it would be interesting (and mostly funny) to let the Boom Post Post team do what we do best. So I asked the question, “If 2020 was a sound effect, what would it be?” Let’s listen to the responses!
