New Sound Effects: Planes, Trains - And Bicycles

Posted February 21, 2016 by Asbjoern Andersen in New sound effects libraries

Rejoice! This week, five vehicle libraries from Airborne Sound have become available on A Sound Effect – and so has an interesting release from New Sound Lab. Here’s a look at 3 of the new libraries that give you everything from the rush of passing planes, the quiet hums of monorails to the everlasting spin of bicycles in transit.

Wheels & Gears

Bicycle Sound Effects Wheels & Gears Play Track 497 sounds included $64

The Wheels & Gears SFX library features a collection of bicycle tire, freewheel, gear and chain recordings. Two bike models were recorded: A Specialized Carve Expert (mountain bike) and a Bianchi Campione (city/road bike).

A wide range of sounds were recorded, from conventional bike sounds (such as freewheel clicks, gear shifting and chain movements, acceleration with various speeds, coasting, and disc brake movements) to more experimental sounds, creating unique sound effects using various found objects on the tires and spokes (such as cardboard, wooden sticks, fabric, shoe soles, guitar picks, and paper).

Recordings were captured with a Sanken CSS-5 Shotgun mic. The shotgun microphone was mounted in a full Rycote windshield kit and connected to a Sound Devices 702 recording at 192khz. The contact mic recordings were captured with the Barcus Berry 4000 Planar Wave system.

Wheels & Gears from New Sound Lab has every sound you would think you could create from a bike, plus more. Featured in this library are sounds from practically every square inch of the Specialized Carve Expert mountain bike and the Bianchi Campione road bike, with the crunching, spinning and ringing of gears, chains, and wheels and even your childhood pastime of placing different items in the spokes.
