Over the course of this winter, Boom Box Post has diligently worked on a number of new shows and special projects. We are proud to announce that two feature films that we worked on are now streaming! They were both a blast to sound design and mix, and we are incredibly excited to be able to share them with the world!
Season’s greetings to all of you editors, mixers, engineers, recordists, professionals, prosumers, students, freelancers, and everyone in between. Whether you’re aiming to dazzle a certain individual in your life who is passionate about sound/post production, or if you’re a professional in the sound industry finding it difficult to put together your holiday wish list, worry not, we’ve got you sorted!

Boom Box Post has been busy this year successfully completing various sound projects including shows, shorts, features, and commercials. I have curated a list of what’s now available and what is yet to come in the next few months. Feel free to watch the projects we have passionately been working on and share with us what you think!
Last year, we published two blogs that listed classic cartoon sound effects and the emotion they convey to the audience. In those posts, we outlined the toony sounds we associate with happiness, anger, sadness, humor, scared, disgust, love, and boredom. Toon sound effects have been provoking emotion for decades. With so many classic toon sounds to choose from, how does one know which to use? Our hope is these blog posts help those stuck in their sound editorial from having to sift through their entire sound library looking for the perfect sound. You can read part one HERE and part two HERE!

Whether you want to impress a special sound/post production person in your life or you work in the sound world and are having trouble filling out your holiday wish list we have you covered!
Recently we published a blog that listed classic toon sound effects and the emotion they convey to the audience. Our hope was that it would be a helpful tool for anyone stuck in the editorial process. This is part 2! Continue reading to find out how our editors approach the following emotions with classic toon sound effects: Scared, Disgust, Love, and Bored.
At Boom Box Post, since we focus in sound for animation, I thought it would be helpful to create a list of classic toon sound effects and the emotion typically associated with them. In this post, we will be focusing on the following: happiness, anger, sadness, and humor.
One of the most exciting parts about working in audio post production is getting to be a part of the final stages of a project. Here are a few recent releases that Boom Box Post had the pleasure of working on!
We had so many exciting project releases and accomplishments in 2021, including new TV shows, fresh features, and awards nominations! We started new ventures, ranging from moving into our new office building at 520 S Verdugo Drive, to working on our first Dolby Atmos mixes. Last year, we accumulated two Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Sound Mixing and Sound Editing for a Preschool Animated Program for Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures and Muppet Babies.
As the holidays creep closer and the end of 2021 is in sight, finding the perfect gift can become increasingly daunting. Worry no more - we’ve got you covered with plenty of great gift ideas for all your closest audio friends. From the post-production pros, to the curious minds, to the creative designers, here is our list of gift recommendations!
Here at Boom Box Post our slogan is to focus on the creative. While that’s at the top of our list, a close second is focusing on the positive. This is easily reflected in our extensive backlog of blog posts. Favorite Free Apps, Most Loved Plugins, Favorite Cartoon SFX, the list goes on and on. But not everything can be our favorite. So this week I asked the Boom Box Post team to share their least favorite sounds.
Build your library! We say it all the time in blog posts, and it's advice we always give to our interns, but this tip often raises the question: What do I buy? There are a ton of amazing commercial libraries out there to purchase. If you’re overwhelmed and unsure of what to buy, this blog post is for you!
I was recently asked about some of the information in my Top 10 Internet Resources for Sound Designers post, and looking back, I realized that this was a really great post that deserved updating! The original was written in 2015, and although some of the suggestions are still valid, many of them have disappeared (silent tear shed here for Designing Sound) or been surpassed by new online resources. Who knew so much could change in five and half years on the internet??? (That’s a joke. Five and a half years is like 100 years in terms of the internet.)
We have done a couple of blog posts in the past spotlighting our favorite audio tools. So for this installment of “BBP’s Favorites”, I asked our team which plugins they couldn’t live without. Whether it’s a stock plugins or third party, if you don’t already utilize these picks hopefully our love for them can convince you to!
2020 may be over, but we aren’t out of the woods yet. After the year we all had, don’t you think it’s important we start taking better care of ourselves? If so, check out these 5 work from home tips to help you start 2021 stress-free!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year again and we want to start off the season with our holiday gift guide! Considering this year is unlike any other, we have a great mixture of audio, work from home, and 2020 escapism gifts that even Scrooge himself wouldn’t bah-humbug!
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!
Can you believe Fall is already here? Autumn is my absolute favorite time of year, so to help us all get into the spirit I thought up a fun list of Fall-themed sounds you should consider recording for your sound library this spooky time of year!
Boom Box Post turned 6 at the end of August and over these 6 years we have written a handful of blog posts. For both our new and OG readers, we thought it would be helpful to round up a list of posts that feature free resources. During this turbulent time of COVID-19, we definitely recommend taking advantage of these awesome tools!
