Rip At The Door With Dusty
A creepy tap with some electrical glitch with interference after... great for a transition out of a scene/subject.
Rip Bugs Surprise
A snap, reverbed out with some unsettling bug-like echoes. I use this to accentuate moments and keep it low in the mix...then can use it as a call-back later for connecting moments.
Tap Dark Hallway
A 2x4 in my garage. Great piece to poke the audience in the ear when something important/dramatic happens without slamming them with a boom.
Thumper Gate Crasher
More of a dramatic boom...but with some industrial notes. Close out a dramatic moment or leave 'em with a cliffhanger.
Thumper Shocker
This one's a bit harsher and sharp. A little bit of electro shock. Dangerous feeling... surprising... jumpscare territory.
Wipe Disturbing Glitches
Deep, wall scratching vibes. I've used this to start podcasts or to switch moods...sets an ominous, menacing tone.
Wipe Whisper in the Wind
An airy, ghostly transition. I've used this to end segments...leaves a mysterious, gasping for air feel. Also great for when someone says something really profoundly unsettling instead of boom.
