This sound library was created after four fun and detailed recording sessions with four unique cars—three classics from the “Soviet-era” – Skoda 125L, Skoda 1203, and Skoda Favorit and a bonus BMW E38 720i. We captured a wide range of sounds, including interior and exterior props, pass-bys, reverses, approaches, and departures.
For the driving sessions, we placed microphones in key spots—at the exhaust, engine, and inside the car—to get different perspectives. This gives you plenty of flexibility, whether you’re working on sound design for movies, video games, or anything in between.
In total, the library includes 336 high-quality sounds, mostly recorded in 96kHz, 24-bit format. We made sure to capture various driving speeds with all the cars, so it can fit whatever scene you’re creating.
