About this sound
“Even an Explosion in 8 bits can do some damage”
Here's an 8 bit explosion. One blast hits right at the start, then breaks up into a crunchy fade that runs most of the 9 seconds. It's really loud, more pixel crunch than deep boom. Good for blowing up enemies in a retro game.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 0.24 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 2.96 s after it starts (3.2 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
- It peaks at +1.7 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 −11.9 LUFS, about 6 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
