You can, it's only a Youtube video. Just press triangle with the web browser open, go into tools and enable javascript. The video will play when you click on it after you refresh the page..
thank you bro, I will try that!
 
TBH the sound recording on PD is actually improving. Lotus 97T is the prime example.

Now if they implement it to the rest of the cars.....
 
Very funny video, talented guy. And does sound better than GT sounds, because GT games don't reproduce all the sounds that cars make, mostly just engine notes.
 
Just a note, turn Javascript back off when you've finished. For some reason this website slows to a crawl if you browse with JS on in the PS3 browser. I guess because of all the functions and the uselessness of the browser/lack of RAM.
I will try that 👍, sometimes I even got the 3 beeps when using the ps3 browser.
 
Kaz isn't going to hire this guy. Don't you guys remember? Kaz is too cheap to outsource his studio... Nuff said.
I'm not sure it's anything to do with cheapness Toko - more likely no outsourcing because he likes his people on site. That guy is definitely a good impersonator, that VW Polo at the end...great car, very unique sound.
 
No, he just correctly identified that a harmonic ("just") major third chord has a ratio of 5:4, which also happens to be the dominant sound in a five cylinder engine. You do the "5" part with your voice, and then modulate the air flow with your tongue at 4/5 the equivalent rate (or 2/5, or even 1/5; pulses are pretty broadband, so it should still work, but 5:4 is best). The harmonic major third is pretty sweet sounding, but I prefer the harmonic seventh (7:4). :dopey:

This is why intake sounds are important, because a car like the Gallardo has a pretty clean 5 cylinder wail, and the 4/5 (and below) component comes from the intake lumpiness modulating the exhaust sound either directly (overrun etc.) or in the mix.

And this is why I can't read music.

Hey, neither can I! Well, I could probably transcribe given enough time, but it's not the same thing by any stretch.

It's more about the physics of pure harmonics, specifically harmonic series, which don't really fit on a standard musical score (although music is derived from it, in the sense that we picked out the sounds we liked).

I just use the framework of music as a sort of common ground, and mainly for its established vocabulary. :)
