Ambisonics – Racing Citröen C1 Pass-By

The Ambisonic Racing Citröen C1 Pass-By library compiles around 40 minutes of modified Citröen C1 (2008) vehicles racing at a private event, meaning there’s little to no crowd conversations or unnecessary background noise, asides from the speaker commenting on the race itself in portuguese.

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.
