Multiple microphones captured authentic vehicle destruction sound effects, including Jaws of Life operations, shattering glass, and dragging metal debris, recorded from both exterior and interior perspectives.
Do you remember the sudden sound of crunching metal? Did your insurance company dump it in a yard outside San Francisco? If so, we might have obliterated whatever was left of it. Who knows? We don’t.
This library offers the sounds of Jaws of Life scissors cutting, crushing and spreading apart doors and hoods. Glass-breaking sound effects were created by sledge hammering windshields and exploding windows. Car parts were dragged on pavement, great for cutting scenes with scattering debris.
Ten surrounding exterior microphones recorded demolitions while the Holophone, positioned precariously between the two front seats, captured interior perspectives while being bombarded with glass shards.
The Jaws of Life sound effects library contains everything you need to audibly re-construct just about any car destruction and impact scene imaginable.
Microphones used – Neumann RSM191 (2), DPA 4061, Sennheiser 8040 (2), Sennheiser 8020, Rode NT4, Holophone h2-pro.
