Hi

I run a company that produces sound effects for video games and we're about to do a stack of car recordings for a forthcoming PS3 / 360 title (can's say what it is just yet). It's not a racing game and many of the vehicles are 'ordinary' cars.

One of the engine types we need to find is a V10; does anyone here have anything they'd be happy for us to record?

The recording is taking place near Wakefield and uses a system called DynaPack. You'd get to hear your car in a game, get a power reading, some MP3s and expenses money.

If you're interested, drop me a line: jerry@mediamill.co.uk

Thanks!

I'm afraid that you may struggle to find anyone that far up North, but having said that there are one or two up that way...

The time of the year isn't great to get cars out and about on salty roads.

whats actually involved in the recording process ?

i remember when Tom did one for a playstation game it was quite a workout on the engine, he had to hold the revs at 1000 intervals for 30 seconds each, 30 secs must seem ages at 4000 revs, not to far from VP

Hi

We'll only be recording 5 seconds per rev band, plus some fast sweeps up and down through the whole rev range. It's all done with great care and we take our time; stopping between each take for cooling.

Our kit is, but sadly the DynaPack isn't.
