About this sound

“Rare Indeed”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in February 2025

Here's one strum across a lap harp. The notes blur into one bright, ringing chord, and it's loud. It dies out in about 2 seconds, so most of the 6 second clip is quiet after it. Trim the end if you don't need the silence.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It gets loudest 0.26 s after it starts (0.28 s into the file). Line that part up with the action.
  • It's done by 3.98 s. The last 1.97 s of the file is pretty much silence, so you can cut it.
  • It peaks at +0.7 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 −9.1 LUFS, about 9 dB louder than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So start with the fader lower when you swap it in.
