Motion Motors 2: Dirt Roads Released!

Motion Motors 2: Dirt Roads contains 300 24-Bit/96Khz vehicle motion sound effects from dirt roads in North Idaho. From smooth high speed passes to slow, gritty drive by’s this diverse set of sounds can be used as design elements for a wide range of genres. Automobiles, ATVs, Dump Trucks, Motorcycles, Road Graders, Excavators, Rollers and more! Nine years in the making!

Soon after the first Motion Motors sound effects library was released in 2015 I began recording more vehicles on my dirt road. I spent 9 years setting up high end digital recorders and microphones on the side of the road at various distances. This road was always in a variable state of transition. When it was graded it was smooth and gritty. After months of traffic it would fall apart and the surface would develop rough spots with massive pot holes and ribs from speeding vehicles. Because of these rough spots, the vehicles would make nasty suspension bumps along with metal trailer rattles, shakes and huge impacts.

You can use the sounds stand alone or as layers to add depth and character to your designs. From subtle gritty pass bys to loud and aggressive motor revs and engine strains. A wide variety of distances from 5 feet out to 250 feet are included. Multiple microphone patterns were utilized to give you a broad selection of stereo widths to choose from.
