What Are BOOM Tools Plug-ins and Software for Sound Designers?

Updated

BOOM Tools are BOOM Library's line of professional sound design plug-ins and software, aimed at sound designers, producers, and artists. According to BOOM Library, they are built to open up new creative paths and to speed up the sound design workflow in each tool's field of application. They are offered as either a buyout or a subscription, and the product page names Enrage and Road Rage as examples.

Who BOOM Tools Are For

BOOM Library describes the audience for its plug-ins and software as audio professionals — specifically sound designers, producers, and artists. The stated goal is to help these users "excel in their work" by providing tools that:

  • Open new sources of inspiration and unexplored creative paths
  • Drastically speed up the sound design workflow in the relevant field of application

If your work involves designing, shaping, or producing sound for games, trailers, film, TV, or similar media, you fall within the group these tools are positioned for.

What Problems They Address

Based on BOOM Library's own framing, BOOM Tools target two practical needs in sound design work:

Stated aim What it means in practice
Speed up the workflow Reduce time spent on repetitive sound design tasks in the tool's area of application
Open new creative paths Provide sound-shaping options that go beyond routine processing

The emphasis is on workflow efficiency and creative exploration rather than on a single fixed effect type.

Examples Named on the Site

BOOM Library's homepage lists two BOOM Tools products by name:

  • Enrage — listed under Software / Plug-In
  • Road Rage — listed under Software / Plug-In

The site does not describe the specific function or feature set of either tool in the available material, so check each product's own page before deciding whether it fits your workflow.

How You Can Buy Them

BOOM Tools are listed as available in two forms:

  • Buyout — a one-time purchase
  • Subscription — ongoing access

The same buyout/subscription framing appears across BOOM Library's other product lines (BOOM ONE, Signature Series, Quiet Planet), so the choice between owning and subscribing is a recurring decision across the catalog. The available material does not state prices, subscription terms, or whether a login is required, so confirm those details on the product pages.

How to Decide Whether BOOM Tools Fit Your Work

  1. Identify the task you want to speed up. BOOM Tools are organized by field of application, so match the tool to the specific sound design job you do repeatedly.
  2. Check the individual product page for Enrage or Road Rage to see whether the tool's function matches that task — the homepage only names them without detailing features.
  3. Choose buyout or subscription based on whether you expect ongoing access needs or a one-time purchase.
  4. Confirm current pricing and licensing terms on the site, since the available material does not include them.

If your need is general sound effects rather than tools, BOOM Library's other lines — BOOM ONE (general library), Signature Series (theme-based packs), and Quiet Planet (nature ambience) — serve different purposes and are covered separately.
