Vehicle Sound Design Workflow and Key Tools

The plugin uses a hybrid workflow built from Granular, Synth, One Shot and Loop modules. Each vehicle can be processed through these modules, letting you combine recorded material with synthesized textures.

For movement, the built-in Doppler effect can be added to any preset, so a vehicle can travel through a space or move past the listener. Presets can be saved and recalled for later adjustments. Engine and exhaust perspectives can be mixed and automated for each vehicle, and the built-in convolution reverb switches between interior and exterior perspectives. Impulse responses can also be dragged in from your own library.

The Loop system sequences loops along a timeline, which suits vehicles moving across different surfaces or changing wind speeds.

Vehicle Library and Sound Effects Content

Igniter's library includes a range of vehicles, among them the Ford F150, Harley Davidson 99 Hog, Audi R8, Tesla Model S P85D, Agusta Westland 119x, CH-47D Chinook and Huey UH-1H. Aerial sound effects are included for designing helicopters and drones.

The developer describes the content as recorded by the world's best recordists. The collection covers onboard recordings, ramps and static rev bands, Foley sounds, and skids and slides. The One Shot tab holds samplers that can be loaded with sweeteners such as car doors, windows and wipers. Electric vehicle assets and presets are also included.
