Prime mover sound files

SD90:
What prime mover sound files does RailPro currently have?
I'm interested in the 567, 645, 710 and GE AC4400, is there a sound sample anywhere? I'm slowly building my roster of DCC ready locomotives, so I haven't committed to any control system yet!

William Brillinger:
Here is a current list of sound files from RailPro:  http://rpug.pdc.ca/index.php?topic=18.msg141

I just checked and the list is still current.

KPack:
The 567 is a good file.  645 Roots is passable and will work until an updated file is recorded.  The 645 Turbo is not very good.  The 645-20 is better and actually sounds closer to a 645 turbo than the other file does.  The 710 is okay....not bad, not great.  The GE 7FDL-16 is also okay.

Most of the older prime mover files need to be replaced.  It's my understanding that Ring has new recordings for most of the EMD's and just needs to create the full prime mover files.  The newer files (567 for example) are much better.

A new GEVO file is pretty much done and should hopefully be released soon.

Is there a file that I can listen to?

KPack:
On Ring Engineering's webpage it has a sample of the 645 Roots: http://ringengineering.com/LM-3S.htm.  Go about 1/3 of the way down and there is a "Diesel Sounds Sample" button.  Keep in mind that this is being played through much better speakers than what your locomotive will have.  Model railroad sounds always sound better on real speakers.

I also made a video of the GEVO prime mover beta.  It is played from the locomotive (4 speakers) and is recorded via a plain cell phone: I believe Ring is working on adjusting some of the volumes and cleaning up the file a bit.  Also there should be new air release and compressor sounds when the final version is released.
