Motor Racing Slide Show

[Ronniebootwest]

I am embarking on a PTE sequence of motor racing images and would dearly love to add some realistic 'sound effects' e.g. engines revving or actual recordings of the track races themselves. Where can I get these sound files from, does anyone have some links that they can point me to?

I would also like to have an 'intro sequence' made with version 5 but am not very proficient as yet. Perhaps someone out there could make a project for me

I will probably make my sequence with version 4.48 so will need to add this to the version 5 opening sequence later. Am I being to ambitious???

I cannot see that you are being too ambitious. I have mixed Versions 4.0 and 5.0 vide my topic "Versions 4 and 5 - Interim Arrangements" posted on 21 June 2006. However, the need for mixing the two may be overtaken by Version 5.0 Beta #4 in the next few weeks.

Ronnie,

Maybe you could provide a link to a few of your existing motor racing images to allow someone to create a Version 5 intro for you. This way it will be with your photos and not someone elses. Just a suggestion.

I did the same thing you are embarking upon with a jet sequence and crash for the local airport here. They do a major crash simulation once every three years and I photographed the event for them. I then created a slideshow of the photos and produced on a DVD for them. I use royalty free music and sound effects which I purchased for commercial productions of this type. If Ken's links don't produce something for you, let me know and I'll send you a PM on the one's I have purchased.

Take care!

Hi Ron,

I note you are doing a Show on 'Motor Racing' ~ that's up my Street as my Father was involved in the Sport

for many years as a GP.Driver (1950~1965) and naturally I was dragged along because I had two hands ~

no Grand Prix Teams in those days.

Racing Sound Effects ~ To create 'Sound Realism' is very difficult for 3 reasons:-

* Depends what 'era' of the Sport you are interested it:- Different era - Different Cars - different Sounds.

* Live Recording is virtually impossible for the 'average man' due to Reverb if you are far away.

* Live Recording 'up-close' is also impossible due to 'Mic Sound Concussion' if you don't have the right gear.

Ronnie, believe me I've been there - tried it all, and ended up with a Nagra Recorder, Seinnhauser Mics and

other 'off-the wall' expensive gear and only then did we get passible results.

My advice is:- Get your hands on a Stereo VTR Player' ~ record a World Grand Prix or other (Its still on TV) and get a Skart Adapter, plug it in to the VTR, play that back into your PC and use Audacity to Edit.

It works because the TV.Station's have the proper O.B Equipment.

If you want 'Old Stuff' contact the Donnington Museum or Brooklands Museum and the BRDC (British Racing Driving Club) ~ nice people,very helpful and they have what you want. Payment is a copy of your Show.

Hope this helps....

For my sound effects, I use http://www.findsounds.com (Search the Web for Sounds].

Maybe your search is too specific but I post this link because I think it might be usefull for everybody.

Good Man Ken,

We have a few 'Beemer Boys' in Ireland also ~ and what with BMW making the 'Mini-Cooper S' for young 'Bucks and Ladettes' and the 'Roller' for mature Gentlemen & Ladies sure the 'Beemer' is only a brief interlude in their live's and keeps the Banks in business ~

Where would we be without them ?

Brian.
