Just released a Chrysler Voyager mini van sound effects library. From popular request I’ve included more Foley effects like seat folding/unfolding, soft and hard versions of approach, stop and drive away sounds. Moreover, there are MS (Mid Side) files if designer or editor want to use mono or create their own versions of narrow or wide stereo perspective sounds. This is a perfect library for common everyday vehicle sounds ..read more

Finally got to try the DPA model 2017 shotgun mic. Listen to near 16 minutes of sample from a local car show (here in Florida) I often attend. There are lots of quiet to louder moments including low to high frequencies (car exhausts to high pitch dog barks). Best result is to download and listen in your DAW with quality headphones or studio monitors. Special thanks to DPA for letting me try. Download HERE ..read more

Gran Turismo is now in theaters. I was among 10 other sound effects recordists to have recorded race car etc sounds for this movie. Torq, a division from Source Sound company (Charles Deenen) did the fantastic sound design work. My role was to record ins and outs of race cars and track ambience. The difficult parts were to try to squeeze my way into the pitt and get as close to the race cars for maximum isolation sounds and avoid noisy people plus PA speakers. My Schoeps MS stereo mic (Schoeps MK41 plus MK8) is like a laser pointer. The mid channel really isolates. It rained on and off on anot ..read more

Back in December Source Sound company (Charles Deenen) hired me to work on this hilarious Toyota commercial. The crew near Charlotte, North Carolina really likes sound which made it more fun to work on. I got to rig 4 Onboard channels in Ryan Tuerick’s Corolla GR drift car and 2 channels inside JR Todd’s Toyota Funny Car. At the same time I stood on the side capture External perspective sounds. Drift Car… I was quite surprised at the performance power and cool this drift sounds. I very rarely work with a film crew so I had to conceal my mics so they’re not shown on video. Because I had to work ..read more

iRacing.com hired me to record the sounds of this incredible LMP3 race car (Ligier JS P320). I am amazed at great this beast sounds and shocked at how fast and violent the ride is! Drivers told me that it’s teeth chattering when you race this car, LOL! Special thanks to owner Sean Creech, his team members, Driver Lance Willsey, Driver Jao Barbosa, and to iRacing. This game looks and sounds great because of team efforts!! This session was done at world famous Daytona Speedway race track in Florida. Tons of zip ties & Pro Gaff tape were used to mount Onboard microphones (in cabin, engine com ..read more

MYNA In Ear Monitors

TrewAudio.com asked me to try out and give my thoughts about their Myna IEM (in ear monitors). I was very impressed with the Universal Fit version (7506 version) that I ordered a Custom Version built from my ear impressions. Headphones/earphones needs are subjective so this my own opinion based on my experience from vast amounts of field recordings, editing, and sound design work. Wearing custom version PROS: Just like MYNA birds, the MYNA IEM I use mimic the sounds from Sony 7506 headphones. To me and many others, the famous Sony 7506 represents true to life sounds. There are many pic ..read more
