About this reverse cymbal

The sound of a cymbal crash played backwards: a bright metal wash that starts from nothing and swells into the hit. It has no note in it, so it fits under any music. Use it to pull the viewer into a cut, or end it on the first beat of a new scene. Shorten it for a quick swell into a word, or keep it long for a slow, wide build before a scene change.

2.20 s long, loudest at 2.19 s. Stereo WAV, 48 kHz, 16 bit, peak at −1 dBFS. Designed for Takes in code, on earshot's riser recipe (sound riser/cymbal): no recording inside. In Takes it is in Plugins › Sound FX. Free for any video, paid or not. No credit needed.
