Q:

Tyre screech recreation

Hi 
I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to recreate the sound of a car screeching to a stop.
Thanks

A:

Find a car, drive it fast then apply the breaks very hard and voila! Sorry for the sarcasm. I had this connundrum a few years ago on a low budget animation. I ended up recording my brother in law skidding to a halt on a quiet country lane, a few takes was all that was needed as I then used pitching and time stretching to alter my 3 sounds to make more.
Are you needing those sounds particularly? If so then there's places like Soundsnap that are great for buying a few random sounds for very little money.
Good luck.
Ian
