About this sound
A few sparks, then a long coffee break
A grinding wheel going in short bursts across almost 2 minutes. Most of the clip is quiet, with long gaps between passes. Each burst is loud and bright, all sparky hiss and metal scraping. Cut out the bursts you want and drop the silence.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- It's done by 1 min 53 s. The last 0.86 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- It peaks at +1.3 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 −13.1 LUFS, about 5 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
