Recording engine sounds
« on: February 24, 2013, 08:23:06 pm »

Hi folks


I'm gathering all the bits n pieces together for a Mersey Class lifeboat I intend to build and I'm looking at recording the engine sound of the twin cats in our current Mersey to use in the Action Sound Unit


What is the best location or way to record the engine sounds?

Record the exhaust sounds not the actual engine as that's what you hear when the boat passes .
If you can hear the engine when not in the engine room then fire the mechanic!!!

Cheers gribeauval


Couldn't possibly comment!!  %)


Our Mersey seems to have a hunting port engine (think it's Port engine) at idle which give it a unique characteristic. Something to do with a fuel governor!


Might be a few weeks before I'm out again as I'd been out prepping for assessment - which I've passed. Now full crew  :}
