About these lightning sounds, uses and license
Real recordings of lightning striking close by: the deafening crack and the roar that follows, each variation pitched slightly up or down so it sounds bigger, smaller or further away. Fast and violent where Thunder is slow and brooding. Every press of New in the editor brews a different lightning; these 12 are a fixed selection so the links stay the same.
Good for
- Lightning spells and skills
- The moment a heavenly tribulation strikes
- Electric traps and storms
- Dramatic cuts and reveals
Tweaking tip
Layer it over a Thunder rumble for the full storm, or over an Explosion for a lightning-powered blast. Open any variant with Edit to change it with sliders.
