We’re quite happy to share the rare sounds of rockets launched, howitzers, naval guns and incoming projectiles in our recently released The Warfare Library 3 - Heavy Bombardment. We’re also proud of how the library came to be. So, in today’s post we’ll describe how the field recording session began, what happened on location, and how the Pole team gathered the recordings into the sound library.
