Recording Car Crash Sound Effects by Sound Ideas

The Sound Idea's recording crew rented some heavy duty equipment and set out to destroy a lot of vehicles in the name of recording car crash effects. We dropped huge rocks on cars, trucks, and vans in order to capture the unmistakable sound of crumpling metal. We even dropped the cars themselves to create a unique impact sound. And this was nothing new for our engineers who, almost 20 years earlier, had recorded a crew of stunt drivers performing all kinds of stunts and manoeuvres.

So, whether we're dropping cars from the sky, or just at the race track...

Recording the Sound Effects of Guns by Sound Ideas

Sound Ideas brought in a firearms expert, along with a truckload of weapons, to a remote location in the Nevada desert. We recorded everything from handguns to assault rifles and miked them from 12 different locations for a full range of sound. With safety in mind, even our Sound Engineers had a go with the automatic weapons!

Recording Explosions by Sound Ideas

Sound Ideas hired a licensed explosives expert to put together explosions in a remote wide open location in the Nevada desert. Using a sniper's rifle with a silencer to set off the explosives, our early morning recordings created just the right environment - no wind, insects, people or airplanes, - just pure, clean, natural ring-off and debris from the explosions.

Recording a Monster Truck by Sound Ideas

Sound Ideas hired a professional driver to put a Monster Truck through all the paces... fast approaches and passbys, Monster engines revs, figures 8s, and engine reverses - we even mic'd the undercarriage for the best possible sound recording angles!

And, as an added bonus, we added an extra dirty mud puddle for our Monster Truck to play in!
