What we recorded
We recorded a high amount of specific animals in Europe and Africa that promised the key sounds suitable to build impressive, characteristic fictional monsters from. Additionally, our sound designers used their own vocal chords, throats and mouths to the extreme, creating menacing and beastly monster sound elements. Finally, we found unconventional ways to emulate creatures with uncanny similarity using various props, objects and instruments.

Most of the recordings are recorded with a Sanken CO-100K microphone, which offers a frequency response up to 100kHz for highly processable recordings.

What's so special about this library?
Teaming up with BioWare, developer behind the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series, we had the privilege of working with the experts on lifelike creatures in video games and profiting from the high standards stretching across this project.

While MONSTERS & BEASTS can be used for all kinds of creature sound design (including aliens), it was specifically targeted at the mythical and real beasts accompanying human and pre-human history and fiction. This gives the library a grounded, familiar, even an overwhelming feel, like an undiscovered part of our legacy.
