Luminol Audio LTD

BAFTA Nominated and Short-listed, I’ve been recording VO, tracklaying, sound-designing and mixing for over 28 years. I’m a full time dubbing mixer but LOVE field recording (maybe even more!!!) I’ve worked on hundreds of shows like David Attenborough’s Natural History Museum Alive; The World According To Jeff Goldblum; Many seasons of Top Gear and many others…

  • Check out the Hyundai Tucson Diesel Automatic 2019 Model. I took advantage of my old family car, which provided me the opportunity to capture some genuinely cool and authentic sounds. In order to get the best quality audio for the ‘non-moving’ shots, we chose a quiet car park at night, ensuring the environment was serene and devoid of any intrusive noise. For the driving shots, we devised a custom mic stand/rig tailored specifically to keep the microphone steady, guaranteeing the sound remained as sharp and crisp as possible. With our 28 years of extensive experience in post-production, you can absolutely count on us to meticulously transform your film’s audio from AAF to the final WAV format, ensuring it is imbued with remarkable detail and unparalleled quality.

  • This audio collection offers a library of aircraft and train passes and bys (and a random helicopter) , captured over two nights in my garden which is under the London Gatwick Airport flighpath and a nearby railway line. Designed for professionals seeking authentic and high-fidelity audio, this collection provides a rich tapestry of sonic experiences.

    Aircraft Recordings:

    Commercial Jet Traffic: Recorded overnight under the Gatwick flight path at night to minimize extraneous noise, these recordings capture the distinct sounds of various commercial jetliners operating at approximately 5,000 feet. The collection encompasses a range of aircraft types, offering a nuanced perspective on the acoustic signatures of modern aviation.
    Private and Light Aircraft: Complementing the commercial jet recordings, this mini collection also features a variety of smaller private jets and a propeller plane operating around 2,500 feet. These recordings provide valuable insight into the sonic characteristics of lighter aircraft, further diversifying the collection’s offerings.
    Altitude Data: Each aircraft recording is accompanied by approx altitude data, verified by a reliable flight tracking application. This metadata adds another layer of information for sound designers and editors, enabling them to select recordings that accurately reflect specific aircraft types and flight operations.
    Train Recordings:

    Commuter Train Variety: Captured approximately 20 feet from the railway line, these recordings showcase the diverse soundscape of commuter rail traffic. The collection features an array of train types, each with unique sonic characteristics defined by varying speeds, weights, and configurations. This diversity ensures that sound professionals have access to a comprehensive palette of authentic train sounds. For these I used an Audio-Technica BP4025 microphone renowned for its ability to capture realistic and immersive soundscapes, these recordings transport listeners to the heart of the railway environment. The microphone placement, carefully chosen to optimize sonic clarity and detail, ensures that each recording faithfully represents the dynamic energy of passing trains.
    Technical Excellence:

    Professional-Grade Equipment: All recordings were captured using state-of-the-art equipment, including Zoom H2n (for the overnight recordings) and F3 recorders, 
    This meticulously crafted collection provides an invaluable resource for sound designers, filmmakers, game developers, and any creative professional seeking authentic and high-quality aircraft and train audio. Its diverse range of recordings, coupled with precise metadata and technical precision, makes it an indispensable tool for enriching any audio project.

Prepare to be captivated by the sheer sonic detail and unparalleled flexibility these recordings offer!
