Volkswagen Kübelwagen 1943

The 1943 German Volkswagen Kübelwagen type 82 sound collection features 436 sound files in 19.6 gigabytes of audio.

Also known as the Safari or Bucket/Tub Car, the sound library showcases the sound of the World War II vehicle’s 4-cylinder 1000 cubic centimetre air-cooled engine with a 4 gear transmission.

A total of 18 synchronized takes depict both onboard and exterior perspectives.

The onboard takes (14 perspectives) present recordings from the engine, interior (including an Ambisonic perspective), and exhaust as the vehicle drives with steady RPMs, gearshifts, and ramps.

The exterior recordings (10 perspectives) position microphones at multiple locations and distances to capture departures, arrivals, passes, idles, and more at slow to fast speeds.

Also included are performed Foley effects of doors, trunks, and more, as well as mixes of the interior, engine, and exhaust.

The package includes Altiverb, Waves, and starter pistol impulse responses, Pro Tools and Reaper mixing sessions, and full professional metadata in every clip.
