About this sound

That one rattled the Windows

Here's a shotgun firing three times over about 7 seconds. Every blast is really loud with a big crack and a short tail, and there's a clear pause between shots. Watch your levels on this one.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 5.18 s after it starts (5.2 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's done by 6.3 s. The last 1.11 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +2.5 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 4 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −8.9 LUFS, about 9 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
