Boom Library Mechanicals CK (Digital Download)

Mechanical Sound FX - Huge, medium, small & tiny

Our sound effects library MECHANICALS brings everything you need to easily design the sound of mechanical processes – from simple clicking, sliding, rattling or snapping to the most complex mechanical procedures like opening complicated vault doors and treasure chests. Your project features some huge machines, robots or powerful mechs? Then this SFX library is your creative tool box. We bring you the next essential addition to your daily sound design resources – as always delivered in top-notch audio quality that BOOM Library is renowned for.

Mechanicals – A treasure chest with more than 2.000 single source recordings

In order to provide unlimited possibilities, we included more than 2.000 single source sound FX in more than 560 files. Choose from a sheer endless number of CLICKS, SNAPS, MOVEMENTS, COMPLEX SOUND SEQUENCES, RATTLING, ROLLING, SLIDING, SPRINGS, TURNS & SWEETENERS.

Different sizes, multiple variations and a huge palette of different machines and mechanism sounds give you full flexibility to enter a new world of outstanding sound effects.

Sonic characteristic: as dry and close as possible

We recorded the mechanicals sound effects with only small reverberation rooms to give you as much flexibility as possible. Therefore, the dry and very close sounds can easily be integrated into other reverberation rooms. After that, you can add as much reverb to your sounds as you need.

What we recorded

The recordings for MECHANICALS were very interesting because we searched quite some time to find a collector of really rare, old, strange and charming machines (i.a. a successor of the famous Enigma). In the end, we were surprised by some very unique sounds. Everywhere where mechanics took place, we pointed our microphones towards it and captured the sound. We recorded tiny and wispy mechanics as well as huge machines and old, almost forgotten slot machines from the 1900s. For instance, chocolate- and gaming machines, type writers, check writers and printing machines.

What's so special about this library?

The sound of complex mechanical processes is truly fascinating, and it counts to the most interesting and most challenging sound effect tasks we can think of: Too many layered sounds and it becomes indefinable. Not enough layered sounds and the SFX composition does not do justice to the often rich and tricky visual appeal. Therefore, working with absolutely clean and incisive source sounds is essential to achieve crisp and clean mechanical sound effects.
That’s why we recorded each sound as close as possible to capture a very detailed and direct sound image. Above all, giving you the best possible source material to work with.
