Max Lachmann on Car Recording

Nice interview at Track Time Audio with Max Lachmann of Pole Position, talking about car recording.

I once went with a driver recording his fast sport car on a highway, and he just couldn’t drive. He was bouncing all over the road, missing gear shifts and had no control of the car. That was scary. I am always afraid before I go recording with drivers I don’t know. Once I also went in a Ferrari 430 Challenge on really worn slicks on a rain wet oval circuit at about 155 mph. But on that occasion the driver was really skilled, so it turned out to be okay anyway. And that gave us a very nice recording!

    Well done, some great recording here; the overall mix I think sounds the best, as it hides the distortion/ clipping heard on some of the individual tracks – not meant as a criticism, as I can appreciate how difficult it must have been with the huge dynamic range present.

    Next time get them to tune the engine better – it seems to hunt a bit when the throttle is lifted 🙂

    Regards
