  • This is a unique bicycle library that captures this characteristic bike in clean, quiet, nicely performed true exterior rides. Including multiple perspectives, speeds and actions. From fast passbys on asphalt to slow onboard recordings and smooth stops.

    The RacerBike is that kind of bicyle the double shot cortado drinker nochalantly parks in front of the window at his favorite coffeeshop. This vintage Koga Miyata is  maintained very well, with fresh lubricants and perfectly lined up gears it’s a smooth racing devil that you pay nicely for second hand.

    Speeds and actions:
    Three speeds. Departures from slow, medium to fast getaways. Arrivals from slow stops with gently squeaking handbrakes to heavy stuttering skids.

    Five perspectives:
    1. Onboard Front: captures the whirring tire and surface sound.
    2. Onboard Pedal: nice overall combination of pedaling, crank creaks, chain rattle, tire and surface sounds.
    3. Onboard Rear: close up sound of the rear axle, with chain, sprocket and switching of gear.
    4. Tracking shot: mono recording of the passby, keeping the bike in focus while passing by.
    5. Static XY shot: stereo recording of the passby that emphasizes speed.

    Overview of perspectives and mic placement:

    Onboard recordings are 2-3 minutes long depending on speed. Higher speeds > shorter duration.
    All 3 onboard mics are edited in sync with one another to make layering easy.
    All Passbys, Arrivals and Departures move from Left to Right.

    Metadata & Markers:

    FREE UPDATE to City Bicycles: now conforms to UCS with new metadata to quickly find your sounds.

We made a video that helps you navigate the library ans find your best bicycle sounds faster and easier.

    A quick way to filter out sounds you don’t need: like handling sounds or vice versa bicycle onboards.

    MicPerspective

    We have another way to find perspectives but it is more limited to distance to the recorded subject.
    So passbys are MED – EXT and handling are CU – EXT. Exterior? Of course: we recorded everything outside!

  • Car Sound Effects Lada 2104 Play Track 226 sounds included $179

    This is a definitive sound library for the legendary Soviet automobile: the original Lada. The Flysound team procured an old model of this retro series, with a charmingly worse-for-wear engine and a battered exhaust, and set to the task of recording the unique sounds of starting, idling, various engine speeds, acceleration, cruising and braking.

    Externally the microphone set was a Neumann U 87, a Schoeps CMC6/MK4, and a Sennheiser MKH 416. Neumann U 87s were also used for recording the engine and exhaust, and wheel recordings were done by a Sennheiser MKH 416. The car’s interior was captured by a Neumann U 69.

    We cataloged everything from quiet and calm sounds to the loud and crazy! Truly feel the retro atmosphere with our collection of Lada sounds.
