Sometimes there are problems with mixing when the Foleystage is too present. Outdoor recordings are difficult, so we have recorded at up to 2500m altitude in very quiet places of the Sierra Nevada in Spain and the Alps in Switzerland.
“Call Me!” is a collection of over 50 original, royalty-free cell phone ringtones for when you need to pick up and answer the call. These are relatively simple ding a ling’s that aren’t gonna call any more attention to themselves than needed. So they’ll sit in your tracks just right, and with some uniquely creative file names you’ll always remember your favourites to come back to while you’re cutting.
A large collection of crowd reactions such as cheers, applause, laughter, boo’s, heckling and more from a variety of crowd sizes. Enhance an existing concert, sports or event crowd or build one from scratch. Also included are crowds clapping to the beat for music.
Over two hours of birds, crickets, cicadas and frogs primarily from Southern Ontario, Canada, but also from Britain and Costa Rica. Specific calls and ambiences from the forest, the beach, the neighbourhood or on the dock of a quiet pond. Essential sounds to bring background tracks to life.
A collection of sounds from a typical backhoe construction vehicle. Big metal bucket slams and creaks, hydraulic legs extending and retracting, big dirt scrapes and of course working away digging a hole.
Be gentle with these babies, they’re mine. Recorded from when they were 2 weeks old and 3-6 months old. Plenty of cute and cuddly coo’s, baby talk, breaths, efforts, sighs, yawns, coughs, snorts and crying. Lots of subtle sounds for when you just need a bit of presence from that baby onscreen.
The Smart Fortwo is a unique everyday car. Under the hood, or rather under the trunk (it’s a rear mounted engine) this hatchback sports a tiny 41hp diesel engine. Normally covered for obvious reasons, we opened it up to expose the engine and get some super clean onboard recordings from inside the car. Also, because the Fortwo has a quasi-manual transmission, we were able to perform the gear changes with dramatic sequences in mind. So they are more pronounced, adding some character that is sometimes lost in a fully automatic transmission. Included are a full set of exterior and onboard (engine/tailpipe) recordings at varying speeds as well as all the doors and a couple dashboard chimes.
