About this sound

“Not Quite Minecraft”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in September 2024

That's a crossbow string creaking and snapping tight, then a woody thump as the shot lands. Two sounds in about 3 seconds, with quiet in between and after. It's loud and close, so it works for a hit that needs to land.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.19 s of quiet before the sound starts. Trim that off if it has to land right on a cut, a hit or a button press.
  • It gets loudest 0.62 s after it starts (0.81 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's done by 1.09 s. The last 1.87 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +0.7 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 2 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −15.1 LUFS, about 3 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
