Ambisonics – Caterham Series Pass-By

Caterham Series Pass-By compiles over 45 minutes of racing sounds at this series’ main annual event, with two speakers commenting on the race in Portuguese and English and very light crowd conversations happening sporadically.

Recorded at two distinct locations, you’ll find on this library long takes at the finish line and on the tightest corner of this particular race track, meaning there’s plenty of engines revving, drifting and driving off into the distance, perfect for media scenes situated on these settings, or for creative sound design since these takes were recorded at 5 meters from the vehicles themselves.

Given the nature of ambisonics, you can easily convert these B Format files onto any desired format (like regular stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 surround) with the correct plug-in, like RØDE’s own Soundfield, which happens to be free to download. These are raw recordings where little to no hum or hiss removal techniques were applied.
