We are extremely proud to announce the release of our latest Boom Box Library: The Typewriters SFX Library!
The Typewriters SFX Library features custom sound effect recordings from both manual and electronic typewriters. Models include the Smith Corona electronic typewriter, Olivetti manual typewriter, and Olympia manual typewriter. Sound effects include typing, page scroll, page return, bells, beeps, clicks, slides, levers, and more.
We love to put our editors to the test to see what kind of SFX builds they can come up with! For Halloween this year, we thought it would be fun to see how well they can design a realistic, classic Halloween creature. From werewolves, vampire, and zombies, to banshees, let’s see what they came up with!
