Over on the Forza Motorsport site the developers talk about how they went about capturing the engine sounds that will be placed into the game.  The article centers around capturing the audio from a ‘88 E24 M6 BMW and shows behind the scenes audio captures.  The audio captures are done on a dyno which allows the car to be put through it’s paces in a stationary environment.  The audio has been captured with carefully placed microphones and the process of capturing one car’s auditory feel takes an entire day.  The recordings are done every 500 rpm in 10 second intervals which will later allow the in game developers to piece together the rich and ever changing engine sounds.  This process will be done for each car in the game, creating cars with their own distinguishable engine noise.

The article has a few good snapshots for BMW lovers and brings to the spotlight the owners of the Forza Motorsports cars.  The article brought to my attention that the cars in Forza Motrosports 2 are real cars owned by individuals, not just a car that has been digitally created.  Car owners get their name in the credits and a free copy of Forza Motorsports 2 on top of having their car appear in the game.  Hey guys, need to do some audio recording on a ‘00 Cavalier?
