    Mechanical Sound Effects Antique Engines Play Track 60+ sounds included, 84 mins total $35

    Introducing Antique Engines. In it, hear expressive examples of restored late 19th and early 20th-century stationary and moving engines. Some appear to hiss, spit and cough. Others puff and snort. Some just wheeze, gasping for air like their mechanical lives depend on it. My favorite pant like tired old dogs stretched out atop a Louisiana levee at the end of August. 

    I was able to record some engines from start up to shut down. Others were caught during the middle of their displays. Files with too much competing noise were discarded. 

    Each sound is captured at 96kHz/24bit with either a Sony PCM D100 recorder (and its built in microphones in XY) or Line Audio CM3 mics in ORTF using a Sound Devices 702 recorder or Sound Devices Mixpre-D/Sony PCM M10 combination. Also, there are 31 meticulously crafted seamless loops, in case your project calls for them.
