Heavy Industry

Heavy Industry by Sound Mind – Michal Fojcik delivers (very) hard-to-get recordings from coal & zinc mines, smelters, a scrapyard, tram repair workshop, train factory, steelworks, vulcanizer and a quarry:
 
  • Sound Mind Heavy Industry sound effects library is a massive collection of over 600 sound files of unique and hard to access machines and industrial ambiences, recorded both interior and exterior. To create this 45+ GB pack we went underground and climbed on constructions, we have been in both very hot and cold, humid and smelly places, wearing funky protective clothing, helmets and glasses.

    You will find large, heavy machines sounds in it, industrial vehicles, as well as pneumatic, electric, diesel or even antique steam engines sounds and many metal, wooden, debris and also liquid textures.
    During our searches we found many unusual sounds with great potential for sound design.

    Recording locations include:
    Coal Mines • Zinc Mine • Zinc Smelters • Scrapyard • Trams Repair Workshop • Train Factory • Steelworks • Vulcanizer • Quarry

    Sounds were recorded multi-mic and from different perspectives, giving large variety for designing purposes. We used microphones with extended frequency range (Schoeps CMC6XT MS kit, Sanken CO-100k) recording on 192kHz sample rate, shotgun mics (Sennheiser MKH-8060, MKH-815T, Neumann KMR81/KM120 MS kit) as well as Trance Audio Inducer stereo contact microphone (which was very useful in noisy environments and which also has very wide frequency range). We used Sound Devices 702, 744 recorders with MixPre, plus Zoom F8 and Sony PCM D-50.

  • Car Sound Effects Car Pass By Interior Play Track 940 sounds included, 354 mins total $48

    Description:

    Car Pass By Interior features a diverse set of recordings of cars passing by heard from the interior of a car.

    Recordings have been edited into wet and dry, single pass bys, groups of cars, windows up and down, close and distant pass bys. All easy to search with the UCS standard naming and meta data. With this library you should be able to cover a wide range of scenarios.

    The cars recorded are misc compact to large combustion cars driving at city speeds.

    Key features: 

    Flexible use with various mic setups

    Wet and Dry conditions

    Windows up and down

    From clear close up pass bys to muffled distant pass bys

    Realistic traffic

    Gear Setups:

    Sound Devices 10 MKII

    A DPA 4017 mono

    B DPA 4060 Mono

    C LOM Usi Stereo set with a LOM Geophone mounted on the metal door frame to catch the car wobbling.

    D Røde NT1-A Stereo set with a LOM Geophone mounted on the metal door frame.

    DPA 4017 and DPA 4060 mics are production sound mixers favorites. The 4060 presents the pass bys more soft and 4017 more dramaticly, cars feel faster, both has nice low frequencies.

     Notes:

    Recording was done from a Toyota Yaris 2013, a small car that wobbles with cars passing close by. It also has a dampened car interior, that isn’t too roomy like cars with glass roofs, the recordings can be used with many car interiors.

    The library is ideal for sfx editors, sound designers, editors looking for realistic car interior ambiences and pass bys to sync to picture. Because of the wobbling of the car it can be great source material for designing whooshes.

  • Car Sound Effects Oval Track Racing Play Track 65 sounds included, 141 mins total $50

    Cover your ears. It’s going to get loud, introducing, Oval Track Racing. This high-octane stock car racing library features cars of various makes, models and performance characteristics in nine divisions circling a quarter mile (.40 kilometer) oval ‘short’ track in Idaho. Pass-bys, overalls and on boards were captured from multiple perspectives inside, outside, and alongside the asphalt track with a variety of microphones and recorders.

    Oval Track Racing features plenty of pass-bys captured right next to concrete retaining walls on straightaways and through turns. To give you options, these pass bys are broken out two ways. Use the ‘one shot’ sound files consisting of just one quick pass by (thank you Paul V. for this suggestion). Or choose to use the overall race/practice session consisting of multiple laps.

    This meticulously crafted library also features a selection of overalls captured from high in the stands, inside the pits, from the center of the infield and outside the gates. For instance, I was able to capture 48 laps (11 minutes worth) of an 85-lap race featuring eight rumbling Big 5 Late Model cars, recorded clean and free of public address announcements, 250 feet (76 meters) outside the ‘bullring.’ The crowd cheers for the winner at the end. Onboard recordings feature the growling sounds of a Street Stock car (1975 Chevrolet Nova), both in the pits and on the track.
