How editors use them

An explosion is three sounds: the crack of the detonation, the low boom that gives it size, and the debris tail that gives it place. Big movie explosions layer all three — start from one of the full takes here, then add a distant boom under your music drop for scale. Duck the music hard for half a second and the blast doubles in weight.
