About this sound

Hope that wasn't anything important..

Here's something snapping and breaking, just a couple of quick bursts in a clip a little over 2 seconds. It's sharp and bright with bits scattering after the snap. Most of it's quiet around the hits, so it drops right into an edit.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.53 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's done by 1.77 s. The last 0.58 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +1.5 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.
