Your
hands are sweaty on the wheel. The pedal's on the floor
and you focus on the road, tires peeling out underneath
you. Finally, with a quick glance back you realize - they're
after you.
The sounds of a car chase are intense
and easily recognizable. Cars crashing, tires skidding and
peeling, an automobile leaving the pavement and bounding
back down, and sometimes, a cliff drop, roll and fiery crash
below. Because these sounds are so specific, and so hard
to get on your own, The Hollywood Edge is proud to offer
all of the effects necessary to sound your own car chase
scenes, including high speed chases and crashes, all on
a five-CD set.
The digitally, multi-track recorded
and mastered effects include real impacts, crashes, cliff
and water drops staged exclusively for this set. Cars were
dropped from over 100 feet and crashed onto different surfaces,
others were rolled off of 250 cliffs, and special ramps
were constructed for jumps and crash maneuvers - just like
scenes for major Hollywood productions. The multi tracks
can be used individually or in any combination and consist
of motor/exhaust, rear tires, interior driver's perspective,
exterior bystander perspective and a mix of all of the tracks.
Featured sound elements include: crashes (stationary and
moving impacts), skids, peels, 180 degree spin-outs, surface
changes (paved road and off road), cliff drops, water drops,
cornering, other high speed maneuvers including driving
at various speeds, hard ins and jumps/hills/bumps. The types
of vehicles featured include a compact automobile, full
size automobile, sports utility vehicle/truck and a sports
car.
