About this sound
“Matches are Elegant, Lighters are High Class”
Here's a match getting struck and catching. You get two parts, the scrape and then the flame flaring up, all in a little over 3 seconds. It's bright and scratchy, not too loud. Good for lighting a candle or a campfire scene.
Editing notes
Measured from this file.
- It's done by 2.59 s. The last 0.74 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
- It's −22.1 LUFS, about 4 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
