Description

Distant Trains Sound Library delivers impressive multi-channel recordings of trains that pass by in a distance of at least 300 meters up to 1.5 kilometres.

Included are pass bys of freight, commuter and passenger trains plus single locomotives.

Each recording session took place at nights so that it was possible to capture extremely long approaches and tails that fade out to natural and calm night ambience without any disturbance by road traffic or other unwanted noises.

In order to capture the impressive walls of sound caused by passing trains, an arrangement of 6 microphones was used. This setup encompasses stereo-pairs of MKH3040-MS, MKH8090-ORTF and MKH8040-WideAB. All pairs are recorded to separate files that are now available as time-aligned Reaper sets.

Great long approaches and tails

By Simon Girard on April 28, 2022 at 2:19 am (Verified Purchase)

I used these recordings in a film with a lot of long trains approaches. Particularly the from the A-B mic setup, which was richer in low frequencies. Keep in mind that as the title says, it’s all “distant” trains so it goes without saying that it does not have the definition of a close-up perspective. 4 stars because of some rare footsteps heard on some of the takes, but they are easily edited out. I love that they are separated by categories of train (freight, commuter, etc). I recommend strongly for long approaches and tails. Free of any road traffic and insects. Good job Stephan!
