About this sound
“Lightning isn't so scary”
A single lightning strike, one big crack and then a short rumble rolling off, all in about three and a half seconds. It's deep and real loud. Good for a storm scene when you need one big hit.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- It's done by 2.77 s. The last 0.91 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- It peaks at +1.6 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 3 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
- It's −7.6 LUFS, about 11 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
