Onboard Sound Effects

Onboard sound effects from the seat, or wherever the microphones could be strapped. Fast cars and off-roaders, a tuk tuk rattling through traffic, a small boat bouncing across a lake and trains rolling down the line. Even a plane full of skydivers, right up until the door opens. You hear what the rider hears.

Onboard means the microphone rides along. In a car that usually means several positions at once, some near the engine and others in the cabin, so you can mix the view you want. It's the sound of being there, the engine working hard under every Acceleration and Deceleration, and the opposite of an Exterior pass. Trains are a different kind of onboard, all rail clatter and announcements over the speakers. Driving games and in-car scenes depend on it.
