About this sound
“Single Smack!”
This is one hammer hit on wood, under a second long. It's a really loud crack with a short little tail and quiet around it. There's a tiny gap at the start, so trim it if you're syncing to a swing.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- There's 0.27 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 peaks at +1.8 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 −6.9 LUFS, about 11 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
