  • Car Sound Effects 2019 Porsche 911 – Complete Play Track 948 sounds included $65

    German engineering in its high performance.

    I would love to introduce you to the 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera S sound library for your sound editorial and designing purposes.

    The library comes in three dedicated sections: RPM Collection (incl. Idling), Drive-Bys (incl. Approaches and Drive offs) and Interior drive recordings.

    After lots of thought and planning, I managed to record, clean, and edit the recording for an extensive and easily accessible editorial experience to your production.

     

    The RPM Collection gives you a large range of multi-microphone proximate and one-meter distance recordings of the engine, as well as a broad variety of details of the exhauster. This masterpiece of engineering got recorded on a vehicle lift to gather sounds from unreachable angles, catching all the richness and details of the engine.

    With a large collection of Idling, Reverse, Steady RPMs, Revs, Accelerations and Decelerations, you will be able to use these sounds as a wonderful organic layer to your vehicle sound designs and edits.

     

    The Drive-bys, approaches, and drive-offs section can be essential to maximize the quality of your production! This package includes Mono sound source following and Stereo drives of the 2019 Porsche 911, with velocities starting at Walking Speed, 10km/h – 80km/h to Reverse.

     

    The Interior Drive series portraits the most beautiful driving experience with its unique comforting interior and design. I am thrilled to share with you the quadraphonic interior recordings of the front and rear of the car.

    Covering the sounds driving over cobblestone, uneven and normal roads (reverse drive included) at multiple speeds from Walking Speed to 160 km/h!

     

    Side note: The engine becomes nearly silent in times, which leaves us with just a beautiful interior rumble of the car driving over cobblestones.

     

    Let your designing imagination be the limit of your creation!

    Wind Ambiences | Echotope

    Versatile and pure wind for detailed backgrounds

    We used a double NOS setup, with Sennheiser microphones and  recorded in various conditions, including choppy, gusty, whistling, howling, calm, airy, swirling, and more. The slightly wider placement in NOS compared to ORTF helps to diffuse the less tonal wind characteristics.

    Most of our recordings were made during winter, when the barren trees provided a tonal quality that allowed the wind’s characteristics to stand out without being overpowered by noisy leaves. We included both very tonal and more noise-based layers in the collection, making it easy to create layers and control the ratio between them. We also added nine variations of expressive mono recordings that were captured in close proximity to sticks and other debris, creating tonal resonances that sound beautifully natural and full of character.

    Thoughtful UCS naming and accurate metadata

    We have given careful consideration to the file naming and metadata of the collection, keeping filenames short and concise while providing extra information in the metadata to help narrow search criteria.


    Key features

    • Quad NOS, Stereo NOS and Mono
    • 96 kHz / 24 Bit
    • 39 files with an average length of 4 minutes
    • More than 2.5 hours of material
    • Detailed metadata and file naming
