I'm be working on a popular driving/racing game for next gen. consoles.

We'll be using a synthesis system to create the engine sounds, rather than using large samples of engines - which I've done before on the F1 games, and Shox.

I'll still be needing some recordings of engine sounds. These DO NOT have to be under stress. I'll need a couple of different revs ranges, with the engine in neutral. Nice and easy on the car. The synthesis system will do the rest of the work for me

So, is there anyone up for having their performance vehicle recorded? I'll probably close mic both the exhaust and induction, and will have to find a nice quiet area to do this. Likely venue would be Knockhill, just in case anyone wants to let rip, with a miked up car.

I can guarentee your name in the credits as at "thanks to". Can't guarentee anything else at this stage, as the game hasn't even been signed off by the distributers/producers.

Just really putting feelers out, at this stage. Please visit www.gamesounds.co.uk if you want to check whether I'm kosher or not,

I can post more details a) if there's any interest, b) if the game is signed off c) subject to NDA - non disclosure agreements.

Cheers,

Mark.

 

I take it from the post you are in the Knockhill area

What car are you looking for? I live fairly close to Knockhill and own an Imprezza MY99 RB5



mail me as per my profile and any more info would be good

Actually, at the moment I live in Brighton, but, as long as the game goes through submission with the publisher, I'll be moving to Dundee.

Are for cars, at this stage, haven't put too much thought into it. I'm thinking V8's, NA's, Turbos, Superchargers etc. Obviously RB5's, cos they're my fav!

The thing is, oddly enough, I won't need over the top sounds - at least not for this project, as we're going to simulate that in software...

Happy to help you out too mate. I've got a std P1 and a highly mod'd R33 GTR.

 

Cool, that'll be good, thanks so far.

 

My modified RX-7 available is you want a rotary powerplant in the game, if you want a standard one I dare say I could convince one one of the other guys (same goes for just about any car you're after).

 

I"m in music production.I"m also a member of the classic car club................and I"ve always thought of sampling their cars........a great selection of engine sounds.They have a NSX-T that just sounds great.I"m sure the guys at the Edinburgh franchise would be glad to let u sample their car sounds(p.s. they have a lovely sounding AC COBRA too).
I think their web site is www.ccc.co.uk.
If I were u I"d call them.......I"m sure the angle of free advertising would appeal to them.........and I"m sure u"d find an engine tone u where after.
U could alway get in contact with somewhere like AWD.They"ll always have some nice cars at their workshop............I"m sure they wouldn't mind some free advertising either.

I've got a Scoob... or will do when I pick it up this week... I live in Dundee, if you want then just give me a shout!!

* I'm one of the Mods on Dundee Cruise, so you can PM me thru there.

Cheers,
Grant

 

I regularly travel between Glasgow & Aberdeen so Dundee suits me fine ( or Knockhill)

I have a Civic Type R ( you'd never guess from my name eh). It is obviously naturally aspirated with 6 speed box + induction kit + "straight through" custom Magnex exhaust which sounds like this

http://type-r-scotland.com/files/cal.wmv (small movie)

It sounds FANTASTIC when letting rip without being too extreme....oh and of course it revs cleanly to 8.5 k with the VTEC engine..........perfect for a computer game

Cheers

This is great stuff everyone. Many thanks.

Once/if/hopefully things are moving, I'll start working out what I'll need etc.

Looks like I could cover nearly everything from just Scoobynet.

But... is anyone a big lorry/bus driver? *grin*

M

 

Most of the scoobs will sound like buses and vans

 

Fancy an ancient BMW 318 Estate that sounds like it's about to explode at 3000rpm?

 

what about mines pls

 

If you reply, can you make sure you put what vehicle you have? Makes things a little easier for me.

Cars that are going to blow up, accepted too! They'll have their own "unique qualities"

 

I've got a mate who drives a bus for Strathtay, give me a shout if you need some sound effects from that!!

Cheers,
Grant

 

hey grant - does that mean ur gonna keep up with me now?
when u pick it up - i'll come through with you - stopping off at awd?

there were reports of some showboat driving late last night at the shell discovery station car park - reports of a white lancer doughnutting and powersliding wich drew a large post club crowd, enthralled by the balletic car.

now u can join the flock!

madfiddeller: u should come to the next dundee cruise - be some nice sounds there

 

Dundee.... anything to do with the Grand Theft Auto people? I thought they were fae dundee.
They'd want funky car noises... and buses/lorrys

j

 

u mean dave jones

 

Rockstar are based in Edinburgh. They are also looking for a sound designer, mind you.

David Jones does have a company in Dundee, can't remember the name of it though. It's pretty new I believe.

jase: EA are in Dundee me thinks (SSX for you ya dumb *** )

 

Just got my Pug 205 to fire up (at last) It sounds pretty fruity!

 

Nah, EA arn't in Dundee - Was at EA for 5 years. Visual Sciences whome I'm supposed to be moving to did F1 for them for the past 4 years. EA are in Chertsey, and Warrington

Peugeot sounds good too!

 

bttt cos I don't want more different cars

 

That last post doesn't make much sense to me m8

 

cough - um - grin - um hehe, well, I've changed my mind now, and I DO want more different cars

 

I've got a Clio Cup (standard exhaust) if that is of interest ;-) And a Leon Cupra R (standard exhaust but sounds very nice)

[Edited by Frazer - 12/28/2003 4:49:06 PM]
