About this sound

Crack.. Crack.. Crack

That's three AR-15 shots over about 9 seconds, with clear silence between each one. Every shot is a sharp crack with a short tail. It's really loud, so watch your levels. Easy to split into single shots.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 6.39 s after it starts (6.39 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's done by 7.42 s. The last 1.99 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +4.2 dBTP, which is over full scale. Turn it down about 6 dB or put a limiter on it before you push it up in a mix.
  • It's −4.2 LUFS, about 14 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
