EMU SOUNDS

I know a lot of work goes into recording sound sets, but i can't help noticing that, in the common emu sounds, u pull away from a standstill and it instantly sounds like you're doing about 60 ! Has anyone else noticed this ? Anyone else working on some emu soundsets ?

Mark.

Yeah, I've noticed that too.
The old style english electrics have a unique sound when pulling away with the change in pitch of the engine whine. However we don't have anything that recreates that. I feel thats a shame as it removes some of the realism.

I would love to have a go and get some sounds from the local 321's but would not know where to start.

But that wouldn't be the first generation sounds, wouldn't it?

Well, you're talking about the CIG sounds, right?

I minidisk player and a good outdoor mic are all you need.

I'd love to record a HST at full speed...Don't have a clue how I'd put them into MSTS though...

I have got a recording of a BEP somewhere. I'll have to try and find the tape and put them on the computer then I can send it to anyone who wants to use them. Hope I can find it as it has some great Thumper sounds on it aswell

Think it also has some tread brake sounds aswell which I think is something the slammers could do with.

Well what I have done is removed all the sounds(except the horn)from my class 400 slam door series units and because I have got the excellent Railwaves track sounds installed I only hear these when driving these units. I have also removed the AI diesel sound so that my AI units just go clickty clack. I find it sounds much better than the basic sounds.
I agree that a motor sound would be better but from the cab you don't hear it anyway.
If a decent motor sound can be sorted out it would be great.

I know what I have said is only any good to people with the Railwaves sound pack but I thought I would add my piece.
