This is a dirt track in alabama (monster mountain, i think). I didn't realize my recorder kicked on as i was carrying it around in my pocket. The result was some really good audio of a dirt bike race, along with a little bit of small crowd sounds.
Field recording of a harley-davidson motorcycle starting, idling and revving; recorded at scuttlebutt's biker bar in greenfield, wisconsin, usa, using an mxl 990 on a boom.
It's a recording of three motorcycles passing by on a dirt (and wet) road. Recorded with hand-held zoom h2. Originally a 24-bit 96khz wav file. Normalized, truncated and converted to flac using audacity.
Motorcycle in the distance. I generated this sound by a gazouillis effect, played with the level envelope, the wahwah effect with 43% depth, i modified the height and the tempo to bring a more serious tone. The whole set to hear a motorcycle in the distance.
When i walked down the street, a small motor-bike came along an alley, and stopped to see if it was okay to merge into the street. The bike started after confirming safety. Audio-technica at9470 and sony md recorder are the most compact set that i can choose.
