Boom Recorder is designed for sound engineers who aim to switch from tape-based systems to a hard disk recorder. It offers advanced recording features and functionality, making it easier for professionals to capture and manage high-quality audio recordings.
With Boom Recorder, you get access to a variety of key features such as 16 bit, 24 bit integer and 32 bit float sample formats, 48 kHz, 96 kHz, 192 kHz and other sample rates. Boom Recorder also supports the Broadcast WAVE Format (BWF) audio file format which is compatible with most digital audio and video editing workstations.
Boom Recorder can sync against a timecode signal read from any audio channel, or use wall clock time when no timecode signal is available. Additionally, long recordings can be broken up in 2 GB chunks. Boom Recorder also supports multi-polyphonic file handling which allows multiple copies of audio in any combination of mono, stereo, and polyphonic audio files.
With Boom Recorder, you get to store metadata such as project, scene, take, roll, date, and track names. There's also a QuickTime component for reading Boom Recorder's BWF files with timecode into Final Cut Pro. The software also supports XML sound reports which can be printed from Safari or Firefox.
One limitation of the software is that it's only available as a 30-day trial version. However, this gives you time to test the full production flow and decide on whether you'd like to order the Boom Recorder Lite or Boom Recorder Pro. The Lite version supports 2 channels (timecode will use 1 channel), while the Pro version supports 64 channels (timecode will use 1 channel).
Boom Recorder can be used with any Core Audio compatible audio interface. Overall, it's an excellent audio recording tool that sound engineers can use to achieve high-quality audio recordings on a film-set or during live events.
