Vehicles Collection Guide

The Vehicles collection contains a broad range of accurate and authentic internal combustion engine recordings. Each engine is recorded with multiple microphones in a variety of positions: close to the engines and exhaust systems, inside the vehicle or, in the case of motorcycles, inside the helmet of the rider. The vehicle engines were recorded across a range of their potential performance on and off load. The resulting recordings have been edited to provide seamless loops at specific rpm points to facilitate integration into engine audio simulation systems. Start, stop, and idle variations of each vehicle are included, as well as a set of common door operations, tire skids, and horns, all with loops and appropriate perspectives.

The complete list of all subprojects and their associated data and embedded metadata is available in the accompanying Vehicles SoundBook.

[Note]Note

This guide provides information specific to this collection. For general information that applies to all Strata collections, refer to the Strata User Guide.

The Main Project

The main Vehicles project provides a convenient way to visualize, locate, and audition the sounds in the Vehicles collection. Additionally, it is a central point from which you can open the individual subprojects of the collection. The main project contains tracks for each subproject firearm, with media items that reference the various subprojects in nested tracks. You can audition any of the media items that reference the rendered output from the corresponding subprojects.

In the main Vehicles project, you can double-click any subproject media item to open the corresponding subproject, in which all of the tracks and layers available for the specific vehicle are arranged.

Use the Region/Marker Manager to find and jump to the different subproject tracks. For more information, refer to Regions and Markers in the Strata User Guide.
