The Library

45 packs, 15,000+ sounds, 2,000+ tags, and every one of them plays before you download a thing. Sounds stream on demand, so you can audition the whole library first and only download the packs you keep.
Favorites
Stream or Download
Search
  • Stream or Download

    All 45 packs are playable the moment you open the app. Sounds stream on demand, so you can audition the entire library before downloading anything. Download the packs you keep and they play offline.

  • Search

    One field searches sound names, packs and tags at once. Every result carries its pack, duration and full tag list

  • Tags

    Pick a tag and the panel narrows to the tags that still appear alongside it, so you are able to find SFX for anything

  • Filters

    Narrow results by pack, by duration, or to favorites only. History filters by date instead.

  • Tabs

    Search several packs at once. Each search keeps its own tab, named after what you searched for and holding its own filters and selection.

  • Packs

    Every pack is produced and mixed by our award-winning composer, with its own (human-made) artwork, description, sound count and total runtime. New packs arrive regularly and sync in the background.

  • Favorites

    Favorite a sound from a pack, a search or your own imports and it collects in Favorites. One toggle shows only the starred ones.

One-click Sync

Every sound carries a hand-picked Cue Point™ marking its impact. Add drops a sound at your playhead with the cue on that frame. Swap replaces a clip where it sits. Cue layers another sound onto the same moment. Set an Auto-Mix range and nothing lands at 0 dB dead center.
Auto-Mix
Add
Swap
  • Add

    Every sound carries a hand-picked Cue Point™ marking its impact. Add drops the sound on the next free audio track with that cue landing on your playhead.

  • Swap

    Wrong sound? Select the clip, pick another, hit Swap. The clip is replaced where it sits with its Cue Point™ on the same frame. No re-trimming, no nudging.

  • Cue

    Cue layers another sound onto a new track, aligned to the same Cue Point™ as the clip you have selected.

  • Auto-Mix

    Set a volume and pan range once and everything you place lands inside it. Each parameter has its own switch, so you can randomize pan and leave volume alone.

Mixing

Every sound in your comp is a point in a dome, where distance from the center is volume and angle is pan. Drag a point and the clip on your timeline follows.
Audio Skins
Constellation™
The Project List
  • Constellation™

    Your whole project becomes a constellation. Every sound takes a place in the field, and mixing is a matter of moving through that space until everything sits where it should.

  • The Project List

    Every sound you’ve placed, with its volume on a slider and its pan on a knob, reading out in dB and degrees. Sort by any column, search within the comp, and select rows to mix them as a group.

  • Auto-Mix & Distribute

    Select the sounds, set a volume and pan range, and preview it as a wedge on the dome before you commit. Auto-Mix randomizes inside the range; Distribute spreads the selection evenly across it.

  • Audio Skins

    Turn on Audio Skins and the selected sound draws lines to the ones before and after it, with arrows showing which way the mix is moving.

Your Packs

The 15,000 sounds are ours. Everything else is yours: import a folder of your own audio, tag and rename it inline, build packs for a project, and export one to hand to whoever is finishing the job.
History
Import a Folder
Export Packs
  • Import a Folder

    Pick a folder of your own audio and Boombox builds a custom pack out of it, sitting alongside the 45 that ship with the app.

  • Export Packs

    Any pack you build exports as a single file and imports again anywhere, tags and Cue Points™ intact.

  • Favorites

    Favorite the sounds you keep coming back to and find them again in the Favorites tab.

  • History

    Every sound you Add, Cue or Swap is written to History with the date it was used.

Fits Your Setup

Boombox connects to After Effects, Premiere Pro, Audition and DaVinci Resolve, full-size beside your edit or docked as a narrow plugin panel. Preview volume matches After Effects dB exactly, and switching sounds no longer pops.

  • Plugin Mode

    Run Boombox full-size beside your edit, or shrink it to a single column that fits a plugin dock. Toggle the tag panel and the Duration, Pack and Favorite columns, scale the UI, or drag a sound straight onto the timeline.

  • Preferences

    A complete set of preferences and settings to customize Boombox to the way you work.

Users say

Boombox is an absolutely essential part of my sound design process. Well stocked with a wide variety of sounds, intuitive controls and speedy as all get out. Boombox is the mic drop of audio.

Josh Makes Motion

Boombox is a great tool to begin experimenting with sound design in your projects. As a TV show director, foley is a major piece of the puzzle I use to add texture and depth.

Jon Walker, Producer/Director - Powernation Studios

Boombox made it fun adding and arranging sound within After Effects.

René Andritsch

Boombox is a tool that i can not live without. Every project I do is elevated through sound and Boombox what I turn to for SFX.

Morgan Mendieta

I use this plugin EVERY SINGLE day as an editor. Game changer for me.

Harveygibson.uk

I've been using Boombox for years now and it makes creating videos a lot easier than before. My videos are now much more engaging and people love them!

@O's Fun Planet

Boombox makes adding SFX fun and the ability to explore sounds so easily lets your creativity roam in the editor.

Billy Wood

I love using Boombox. It's so convenient to have a large sound effects library right in Premiere. So easy to find and add sound effects for all of my projects.

Kit Sinclair - Freelance Motion Designer

I've used Boombox on several proffesional projects, and it's been a tremendous help with adding creative and foley sound to my projects. I think this is such a great addition to have in your creative workflow.

Oskar H. Freelance Motion Design & Video Editor

Boombox saved me so much time doing sound design. Everything is right inside Premiere, rather than roundtripping out to an SFX library site, listening, downloading, importing, testing, purchasing, re-downloading and replacing...FOR EVERY SINGLE SOUND. Boombox is an incredible idea and a great execution on that idea. Gamechanger.

Chris Lones - Lones Productions

Boombox is a big helper in my motion design and audio production workflow. I love that they put a really nice search, great keywording and really nice functions into a great and efficient UI that works in all different sizes of screen estate. Keep up the good work, Mt Mograph!

Tom K, Vienna, Austria

I use Boombox on almost every project, it is a huge timesaver having all those amazing sounds at your fingertips without the need to open an other software or export anything. I just search, add and I'm done.

Geos from Werx Studio

I use boombox regularly and very happy with it....it gives me at least the ability to create reference sound for the sound designer inside AE. It's a game changer!

Sam Pak

I use it all the time when adding final touches, aka subtle SFXs to my project. Love how convenient it is, as I hate manually downloading every little sfx and dragging them inside premiere.

Raphael T.

It's good shit

The range and quality of sounds in Boombox is quite nice, although truth be told, the UI is rather cryptic & clunky. But overall... good stuff!

Jay Kaslo

All of three are huge time-savers, once you get comfortable it can save hours.

Boombox changed my workflow completely before I went on five different sites, finding CC0 sounds, editing them, and adding them to my project. now I just search boombox and add the perfect sound in seconds

Alec F.

Boombox is my go to app for quick and good quality sound fx I hope they continue building and improving this already great app!

Luis Lobo

With BoomBox, you don't have to go through a lot of sound clips in a folder when you need a sound effect, you can organize your preferred sound effects and quickly anchor the most suitable one, which is very smooth to use.

Youli

I use a boombox for all of my work because it feels easy and not having to switch back and forth makes it faster. Worth the money spent

dudy

I use Boombox literally every time i open After Effects or Premiere. This plugin was a bless to my workflow and SFX needs. I can't recommend it enough.

Nicolas Chidem

Boombox is a amazing way to search for SFX right in AE and line it up straight away without hassle.

Boombox helps make my animation stand out. Sound makes videos much more engaging, and with Boombox, adding SFX is quick and easy.

Marysia

Boombox is awesome. Whenever I need to add sfx in Ae you can be sure there'll be Boombox.

Frequently Asked Questions

Boombox Studio is a standalone sound design app built around two halves: a library of 15,000+ royalty-free sound effects across 45 professionally produced packs, and a Mixing page where you set the volume and pan of every sound in your project. It connects to After Effects, Premiere Pro, Audition, and DaVinci Resolve to place audio directly on your timeline and to keep mixing it once it is there.
No. Sounds from packs you have not downloaded stream on demand, so you can search, preview and audition the entire library the first time you open the app. Download the packs you keep and they play offline, with progress shown on each pack tile as it syncs.
Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, and DaVinci Resolve. Boombox runs as a standalone desktop app and connects to your editor through a satellite extension, either full-size beside your edit or docked as a narrow plugin panel.
Every sound has a hand-picked Cue Point™ marking its impact. When you click Add, Boombox places the sound on the next free audio track with that Cue Point on your playhead, so the hit lands on the frame you parked on. Swap replaces an existing clip where it sits, and Cue layers additional audio onto the same moment. Both are auto-aligned. You can also drag a sound straight onto the timeline.
Mixing plots every sound in your open comp or sequence in dome called the Constellation™, where distance from the center is volume and angle is pan. Drag a point to mix it and the clip on your timeline follows. A timeline strip above it lays the same sounds out against the clock, with work-area handles that narrow the view to the stretch you are working on. Auto-Mix randomizes a selection inside a volume and pan range, Distribute spreads it evenly across one, and Audio Skins draws the relationship between each sound and its neighbors. Values can be copied between sounds, and everything is undoable.
Yes. Import your own audio files into Boombox Studio alongside the built-in library. Imported sounds are searchable and taggable the same way.
15,000+ sound effects across 45 packs, each with a unique sonic identity. Packs cover categories like impacts, whooshes, foley, UI sounds, transitions, cinematic textures, and more. New packs are released regularly. All sounds are tagged with 2,000+ searchable tags.
Boombox Plugin was the legacy After Effects and Premiere Pro extension: a browser that pushed sounds to a timeline. Boombox Studio is a standalone app that owns the library and the mix. It adds streaming previews of all 15,000 sounds, tag and duration filtering, a multi-tab workspace, your own imported packs, and the Mixing page with the Constellation™, Auto-Mix, Distribute and Audio Skins. It supports Audition and DaVinci Resolve as well as After Effects and Premiere Pro. All Plugin features are included in Studio.
