Train Life 3

 

 

Train Life 3 is the third library in the ever evolving sonic journey of recording trains.  I can’t quite explain it, but trains are just downright fun to record and those old industrial rail yards and tracks seem to always be calling. 

 

This collection includes newer more recent recordings and is a good addition for anyone that has the previous Train libraries I’ve released (Train Life and Train Life 2) or who is just looking for a general collection of Exterior Freight and Passenger Trains.   You’ll find long approaches, various bys, rail clacks, a few horns.  I was also able to get some close recordings of slow connecting cars with big booms and bangs, groans and rail squeals.  A couple of those are long recordings which can provide for some really interesting sound design when pitching down.  I’ve provided booms and squeals that are more singular elements with multiple versions as well.

 

The Train Life Bundle will include this new release which features all three Train Life Libraries at a 30% Discount.
