Product Description
AIRSHOW – Jets, Helicopters & Props is a field recording library with 144 sounds captured live at the 100th-anniversary airshow of Altenrhein airfield on Lake Constance (Switzerland): Swiss F5 fighter jet passes, helicopter aerobatics, vintage propeller planes, a Zeppelin airship and airshow crowd walla. Recorded simultaneously with a mono shotgun and a stereo pair for games, film, trailers and interactive media.

Two Rigs, Recorded Simultaneously
• Mono – RØDE NTG5 shotgun: focused sources, ideal for 3D positioning in Unity, Unreal, Wwise or FMOD
• Stereo – Clippy stereo pair: wide, cinematic passes and airfield ambiences for film, trailers and video
Deliberately Layered
Most aircraft takes are clean passes, isolated from the crowd – ready to drop into games, film and trailers. Takes where the audience is part of the scene are marked in the file name (People / Crowd / Speaker). The separate crowd walla beds let you build your own airshow atmosphere and layer it exactly the way you need.
