Creative Sound Design with a Porsche Carrera S
Following the methods they used in their ‘Making of the Shift series‘ video, Audiomodern are delighted to announce the arrival of ‘FWRD’, a free sample pack featuring a variety of raw sources recorded from a Porsche Carrera S.
Sound designer Stefan Torto collaborate with Director & Videographer Vivian Gerogianni to demonstrate the sound design process that can be found on the creation of the ‘Shift‘ sample pack series as well as on various sounds on the Audiomodern Atom Instrument.
About the Process
Producing the tonal sounds from a car was a creative challenge. At first, they recorded the belt alarm sound and sequenced it to create the main melody of the track. In addition, they used the metallic sound that was produced by the exhaust and this resulted to an arpeggio hung-style melody with the use of their Riffer Plugin.
The sound of the doors and other mechanical parts were used for percussion sounds. Layering 5 different door hits and processing them differently, they exported them in a single stereo file.
After that, they imported the file to EXS24 in Logic and mapped the entire note range in the keyboard.
They recorded the gas sound from the exhaust and used it for the snare. They tweaked the envelope, added a punchy compressor and a nice reverb at the end and there you have it.
The last step was to perform the motifs. They edited the notes from the MIDI file they already had, and created the triplet fills.
For the ”elephant-like” sound, they used the sound of the top and stretched it, tuned it and manipulated it in a way so it fits the track’s tonal key. They purposely kept many of the mechanical sounds in their original form.
Inside this free sound pack, you can find all the samples that were recorded and used for the track plus bonus loops that were created with the raw sources recorder from the Porsche for inspiration and as an example of how the sounds can be used.
FWRD contains One Shot Samples & Loops, all of them created by recording the Porsche and further tweaking the recordings. Have fun and be creative!
