How they sound in the Reel

Every sound I name became a real sound at that exact moment: a whoosh on the word whoosh, 5 layers on BOOM, and a drop on the first beat. Listen to clips from the final Reel:

Whoosh → every transition has a sound → BOOM
Beat drop and every hit on the beat
Shutter, subscribe, pop, swoosh

Timeline of the 52 second Reel: named sounds on top, the voice in the middle and the sound effects below — 160 sounds across 52 seconds, each on a word or a cut. Chart drawn from the Reel's real audio data.

Where each sound goes

These are the rules Claude Code followed in the Reel. Above all, your voice stays the clearest thing.

WhooshScene change: the peak sits exactly on the cutUnder your voice while you talk
BoomOnly the big moment, once or twice per video5 layers, above your voice
Beat DropOn the first beat after the build-upAbove your voice
Impact HitWhen a number or a product appearsClose to your voice
Camera ShutterWhen a photo or a frame appearsClear and short
Pop · ClickA card, a word or an icon pops inLight, under your voice
Glitch · DingGlitch for a problem, ding for the fixUnder your voice
KeyboardOnly while text is really being typed on screenQuieter than your voice

Loud without covering your voice

In version 10 the effects went up so much that my voice got lost: while I talked they sat 0.7 dB above it. In the final version they drop 12 dB under my voice whenever I talk, and the named sounds still land above it.

Comparison: effects while talking were +0.7 dB in version 10 and −12.2 dB in version 11 — Chart drawn from the Reel's real audio data.

The sound placement prompt

Upload your video and the pack to Claude Code, paste the prompt, and change the parts in [ ].

English prompt

You are a professional sound designer. I have a video called [file name] and I want you to add sound effects to it professionally.

1) Transcribe my speech word by word with timestamps, so every sound lands on its word.
2) Every sound I name (whoosh, boom, beat drop, camera shutter, click, pop, swoosh) must be a real sound, loud and clean, at the exact moment I say it.
3) Use the sounds in the attached pack [Moath_SFX_Pack], or from licensed free libraries such as Mixkit and Pixabay.
4) Rules:
- Transitions: a whoosh with its peak exactly on the cut.
- A number or a product appears: an impact hit.
- A photo or a frame appears: a camera shutter.
- A card, a word or an icon: a pop or a click.
- A problem: a glitch. The fix: a ding.
- Keyboard only while text is being typed on screen.
- Boom only for the big moment.
5) Levels:
- The sounds I name land 1 to 4 dB above my voice.
- Every other effect sits about 12 dB under my voice while I talk.
- My voice stays the clearest thing, and no background music.
6) Every sound lands on its word or cut, frame accurate. Measure the levels, tell me the numbers, and deliver a high-quality MP4.

Arabic prompt

إنت مصمم صوت محترف. عندي فيديو اسمه [اسم الملف] وبدي تركّب عليه مؤثرات صوتية بشكل احترافي.

1) فرّغ كلامي كلمة كلمة مع التوقيت، حتى كل صوت يركب على كلمته.
2) كل صوت بحكي اسمه (ووش، بوم، Beat Drop، تصوير، كليك، بوب، سوش) لازم يطلع صوت حقيقي، قوي وصافي، بنفس اللحظة اللي بحكيه فيها.
3) استخدم الأصوات من الحزمة المرفقة [Moath_SFX_Pack]، أو من مكتبات مجانية مرخصة مثل Mixkit و Pixabay.
4) القواعد:
- الانتقالات: ووش، وذروته على القطع بالضبط.
- رقم أو منتج بيطلع: ضربة.
- صورة أو إطار بيطلع: شتر كاميرا.
- كرت أو كلمة أو أيقونة: بوب أو كليك.
- مشكلة: جلتش. حل: دينج.
- الكيبورد بس لما في نص بينكتب على الشاشة.
- البوم للحظة الكبيرة بس.
5) المستويات:
- الأصوات اللي بسميها أعلى من صوتي بـ 1 لـ 4 dB.
- باقي المؤثرات تحت صوتي بحوالي 12 dB وقت ما أحكي.
- صوتي لازم يضل أوضح شي، وبدون موسيقى خلفية.
6) كل صوت يركب على الكلمة أو القطع على مستوى الفريم. قيس المستويات وقلّي الأرقام، وسلّمني MP4 بجودة عالية.

Quick questions

Is the pack really free?

Can I use them in commercial videos and ads?

Yes, in personal and commercial videos. Just do not sell or re-upload the pack as a pack.

Why are they not the exact sounds from the Reel?

How do I keep effects loud without covering my voice?

Keep the sounds you name slightly above your voice, and pull every small effect about 12 dB under your voice while you talk.

How do I get Claude Code to add them to my video?

Upload the video and the pack, and paste the prompt above. It transcribes your speech, puts each sound on its word and measures the levels.
