About this sound

snip snip snip, cut along the dotted line.

That's a pair of scissors snipping, a quick run of cuts in about 6 seconds. You hear a thin little hiss on each cut and a clack when the blades close. It's pretty quiet, and the snips come one right after another.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's done by 5.11 s. The last 0.75 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +0.6 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 −24.8 LUFS, about 7 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
