Ferrari 288 GTO beta sound mod

[Doctor G.]

I would have posted this in the betas but for some reason i cannot start a new thread there, so I post it here...

 

I've found a DVD with some onboard footage of a F288 GTO (ultra rare stuff :D) :

 

...and I tried to make a sound mod with it :

But the result is half satisfying :

First, it may not sound so realistic when the car goes fast.

This is due to the fact that the high rpm loop is based on a middle rpm sample (as the car never reaches very high speeds in the video). Plus the onhigh sample is not very long, so I had to copy and paste to make it longer which is not very good...

 

Second, I am not sure if it's high pitched enough.

Looks like the driver is going easy on the throttle and maybe he doesn't push the needle to the max, which means that I should set a higher tone to the sound mod (because he higher tone of the mod is based from the higher tone that the car reaches in the video). But if i do this, the result sounds really ridiculous (it's already weird, i would have used another recording if I had one), more like a Vespa than a sportcar and then I prefer to not release it.

 

For example, in that other video, it sounds more high pitched when the guy push the throttle at 2:38 (and he doesnt even push it to the max) :

What do you think? Shall I leave it like it is, or forget the idea to make a sound from this video? (Which probably means that no real sound for the F288 will be made until a long time, I don't even think it has ever been done before).

 

Thanks for help.

 

[mod edit:] Please only embed a maximum of 2 videos per post, thanks!

If you really want a good DVD series to get car sounds from, look for the series called Victory By Design. They have several to choose from including Alfa-Romeo, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lotus, Maserati, and Porsche.

 

Some of the video sections are on youtube, just not the whole things.

Much better than TDU's sound. Nice work:)

I think it doesn't sound properly. You should use other video as a base IMHO.

Excellent!

Nice work!

 

I sent you an e-mail, don''t know if you received it.

Thanks for the opinions but finally I agree with camryt, it just sounds bad and doesn't worth a release... Maybe one day i'll find a better video :(((
