Description
Helicopters 2 HD Pro continues the journey started with Helicopters 1 HD Pro in 2015. Included are close, medium and distant passes along with turbine engine starts, shut downs and hovering (tons of “Blade Chop”). The helicopters were recorded arriving and departing the airport and performing photo shoot maneuvers. All the sounds in this collection are from a exterior perspective. Recorded at 24-bit, 96k in stunning XY/ORTF and MS decoded stereo.
Highlights include: very fast passes, aggressive approaches, graceful hovering, extremely close up starts with ground runs and overhead departing. I poured my heart and soul into this collection and hope you enjoy them as much as I did recording them. Detailed metadata and UCS categories are included. -Frank
