This
7-disc collection from the sound vault of Francis Ford Coppola's San
Francisco motion picture studio contains hundreds of original vehicle
and moving machine sounds, recorded for the soundtracks of a wide range
of films from war pictures to period dramas. Specific cars including
Mustangs, Buicks, Lincolns, Pontiacs, Impalas, Corvairs, Falcons and
the limited-production Tucker are included. Several foreign models are
also represented. General car types such as limos, taxis, ambulances,
emergency vehicles, hot-rods and muscle cars are featured. Vehicle sounds
were recorded on road-surfaces ranging from gravel, dirt, city streets,
highway and wet pavement at varying speeds: racing, slow driving, stalled
and steady. Isolated car sounds are included such as wipers, doors,
trunks, horns, tire peel-outs and blow-outs. Finally, there are bonus
moving vehicle sounds including motorcycles, trucks, trains, tugboats,
ferries, subway cars, and related ambiences. Most recordings are in
stereo, several are dual perspective.
