About this suspense

A dark build for trailers and tense moments. A low saw chord starts near the bottom of the range and climbs two and a half octaves, with a rumble rising under it and a tremolo that gets faster. It stays heavy until the last second and stops dead on its loudest point. Cut it short to keep the dread without the full build, or pair it with the boom for a trailer hit.

3.00 s long, loudest at 2.99 s. Stereo WAV, 48 kHz, 16 bit, peak at −1 dBFS. Designed for Takes in code, on earshot's riser recipe (sound riser/trailer): no recording inside. In Takes it is in Plugins › Sound FX. Free for any video, paid or not. No credit needed.
