Poseurs rejoice, your faux V8 and V10 engine sounds are here.
Our eyes sufficiently rolled, we can continue. The video is a demo of SoundRacer, which promises to sync up with your car’s actual RPMs and engine sounds and mask them — via your speakers — with the engine sounds of real V8 and V10-powered vehicles.
Sure, it’s the tinfoil-wrapped cucumber in the jeans of the auto-tuning community, but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t slightly impressed with the SoundRacer demo. It almost had a video game quality to it, and tricked me a bit into thinking the car was going a bit faster than it actually was.
It could very well be doctored or enhanced, sure, but the buy-in is $US40. I may bite. [SoundRacer via OhGizmo]
