1. B-Type ERA
2. BRM V16      <-- Awesome sounding!!!! would love it in a GPL soundpack
3. Jaguar D-Type
4. Maserati 250F
5. Lotus 18
6. Ferrari 250GTO
7. Ferrari 512S <-- Also sounds awesome and would make a great GPL soundpack.

The CD alone is worth the price of the magazine.

I may try to play with some of the wave file editors and see if I can do it
myself especially for the Ferrari sound, but I know there's some of you out
there with alot more talent that make some great soundpacks and might be
interested in these sounds, especially the BRM V16 and Ferrari.

The sound of a racing engine......live on a cd or any source.....is one thing.
The "sound" of the corresponding .wav file to make that engine sound be
"recreated" in a racing sim (gpl, N3...doesn't matter) are two totally different
things.  You can't take the engine sounds off this referenced CD.....and put
them directly into gpl or N3...or any sim.  That just doesn't work!

I've only played with the default GPL engine wav files in the past and
those from some of the excellent soundpacks to reduce their volume so that
it doesn't cover up the skidding sound so much, but yes I do understand that.

This CD contains some good raw source material for those GPL hobbiests out
there who are already familiar with the process of making the sounds usable
in GPL.

I was also hoping to play a bit with some of the snips of captured .wav files
from parts of this CD to see if I could make it sound good in GPL, especially
as a full time GPL Ferrari driver, I would love to be able to convert a
snippet of the Ferrari 512 sound for use as my GPL Ferrari sound.

Do you know of an existence of any HOWTO documents on converting these type
of wave recordings into .wav file GPL can use?

From my experience with picking and choosing different .wav files from some
of the GPL soundpacks, I assume that the .wav snippet must sound good and
be of steady frequency for the portion that it lasts so that GPL can loop
it and apply whatever frequency shift or (doppler effect?) algorithms it does
to make the one .wav sound work for the different revs of the one engine.

I'll probably give it a go and see if I can produce anything worthwhile
for the sound of my Red machine.

I can tell from the car list that these sounds are from the CD included with
the book "into the red" by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.  All of my GPL
sounds are developed from this source.  Check my website if you want to give
them a try.  I've been using the Lotus18 sound for F2F3 but haven't posted
it yet.

In my opinion the "must haves" are the Weslake sound from the Mas 250F, and
the Repco sound from the Ferrari GTO.

I've use some of the wave files from your site before as I've tried many
different .wav files from all the different soundpacks and I should have
recognized these as the source ;-) big thanks for making all those available
on your web site.

Amazing how many nice cars Nick owns, he must have made a pretty penny as
their drummer.

I *looove* the sound of that V-12 in the Ferrari 512, I'm grabbing it from
your website today and replacing my current Ferrari sound with it.

Thanks again to you (and the other GPL soundpack creators) for making these
sounds available for us, it really does add those final touches to making
GPL thrilling to drive.
