City Bicycles – RacerBike

$30

This is a unique bicycle library that captures this characteristic bike in clean, quiet, nicely performed true exterior rides. Including multiple perspectives, speeds and actions. From fast passbys on asphalt to slow onboard recordings and smooth stops.

The RacerBike is that kind of bicyle the double shot cortado drinker nochalantly parks in front of the window at his favorite coffeeshop. This vintage Koga Miyata is  maintained very well, with fresh lubricants and perfectly lined up gears it’s a smooth racing devil that you pay nicely for second hand.

Speeds and actions:
Three speeds. Departures from slow, medium to fast getaways. Arrivals from slow stops with gently squeaking handbrakes to heavy stuttering skids.

Five perspectives:
1. Onboard Front: captures the whirring tire and surface sound.
2. Onboard Pedal: nice overall combination of pedaling, crank creaks, chain rattle, tire and surface sounds.
3. Onboard Rear: close up sound of the rear axle, with chain, sprocket and switching of gear.
4. Tracking shot: mono recording of the passby, keeping the bike in focus while passing by.
5. Static XY shot: stereo recording of the passby that emphasizes speed.

Overview of perspectives and mic placement:

Onboard recordings are 2-3 minutes long depending on speed. Higher speeds > shorter duration.
All 3 onboard mics are edited in sync with one another to make layering easy.
All Passbys, Arrivals and Departures move from Left to Right.

Metadata & Markers:

FREE UPDATE to City Bicycles: now conforms to UCS with new metadata to quickly find your sounds.

Because we know how important metadata is for your sound libraries we have created a consistent and intuitive description method that adheres to the Universal Category System. This allows you to find the sound you need easily, whether you work in a database like Soundminer/Basehead/PT Workspace work, or a Exporer/Finder window. We made a video that helps you navigate the library ans find your best bicycle sounds faster and easier.

CategoryFull
A quick way to filter out sounds you don’t need: like handling sounds or vice versa bicycle onboards.

UserCategory
Fastest way to find the type of action you need for all bicycles. Passby needed, just click and voila.

OpenTier

Once you’ve selected the bike you can open up OpenTier and audition and select the perspective you want to use.

Scene &  Performer
This field contains the type of bicycle or other sound. So you can find the bike you like fast.

iXMLTrackLayout
This is a neat little identifier you will find in the Waveform displays and you can see in a glance what Listening position you are.

MicPerspective

We have another way to find perspectives but it is more limited to distance to the recorded subject.
So passbys are MED – EXT and handling are CU – EXT. Exterior? Of course: we recorded everything outside!

UserComments
We used this field to create the UserData and give you the minimal set of information about the recording in the filename.

Additionally, we added Markers to some wave files, so specific sound events are easy to spot in Soundminer and other apps.

If you have any questions about this, please contact us [email protected]!
