About this sound
Bless you.. oh wait, that's for sneezes.
Just a few dry coughs in a row, all done in under 3 seconds. They're loud and close, with little gaps between them, and they stop clean instead of trailing off. There's a short quiet bit right at the start you can trim if you need it on cue.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 0.71 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 2.16 s. The last 0.49 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- It peaks at +0.8 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 −12.6 LUFS, about 6 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
