Product Description
The Alfa Romeo 156 sound library captures the distinctive mechanical and vocal character of Italy’s iconic late-90s executive saloon. Recorded using a synchronized multi-channel array of shotgun, omni, small diaphragm condenser and boundary microphones across dual recorders, this collection provides sound designers, post-production editors and game audio developers with a rich set of assets for European passenger cars and detailed vehicle Foley.
By combining phase-aligned tri-perspective driving passes with an exhaustive interior and exterior interaction catalog, this package delivers the energetic engine rasp, resonant exhaust note and tactile cabin acoustics defining Walter de Silva’s celebrated design.
Synchronized tri-perspective driving setup: Phase-aligned multi-track recordings capturing three distinct channels: engine bay, tailpipe exhaust and interior cabin, enabling full creative control to blend mechanical induction, exhaust note and internal room tone dynamically.
Comprehensive driving and road maneuvers: Features multi-speed steady cruising, reverse driving sequences, neutral coasting, revving routines, dynamic arrivals, rapid departures and varied speed pass-bys.
Exhaustive interior and exterior Foley catalog: Includes multi-take variations of front and rear door latches (inside and outside perspectives), central locking actuators, trunk and hood latches, manual ash trays, electric window mechanisms, steering wheel height adjustments, seatbelt ratchets, windshield wipers and dashboard switchgear.
Universal Category System integration: Fully organized under standard UCS metadata rules for rapid indexing and seamless integration into professional audio post-production workflows.
