About this sound

Just one more pass. Okay, maybe one more..

This is a sidehead grinder going for about a minute and a half. It cuts in, backs off and starts up again a bunch of times, and it's loud and pretty bright, with a hard scraping sound over the motor whine. Sounds like a busy shop floor.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • There's 0.76 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 min 32 s. The last 4.58 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +0.2 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 −12.9 LUFS, about 5 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
