Stop a scene dead on the frame
The classic scratch ends abruptly, so it freezes exactly where you place it. Few sounds mark a stop that unambiguously.

Record scratch variations for edits and animation
Classic scratch
0:02One rough downward scrape that stops dead. The abrupt stop is the whole device, because it is what lets the picture freeze with it.
Long drag
0:04A slow scrape descending in pitch. The extra length gives an audience time to register that something has gone wrong.
Scratch with stop
0:04The scrape plus the turntable winding down. The falling wobble afterwards is what sells it as a real machine rather than a sample.
Short skip
0:02A single tick and a brief scrape. Small enough to interrupt without stopping everything, which the full scratch cannot do.
Reverse scratch
0:03A scrape rising rather than falling, as if pulled backwards. It reads as rewinding, so it suits going back rather than stopping.
Scratch into silence
0:04The scrape, then a beat of room with nothing in it. That empty tail is what makes the freeze land rather than simply happen.

Ways to use a record scratch sound effect
Let the silence after it do the work
The version with a beat of empty room lets an audience sit in the pause. It works over animation as readily as live action.
Editar prompt
Signal that a story is rewinding
A scrape rising instead of falling reads as going backwards, which is how you get into a flashback without a caption.
Editar prompt
Interrupt without stopping everything
A short skip breaks the flow for a moment and lets it continue. Useful when a scene needs a stumble rather than a full halt.

Preguntas frecuentes
What is the record scratch sound effect used for?
Stopping a scene dead, usually paired with a freeze frame and a voiceover explaining how the character got here. It works because the sound is an unmistakable interruption: something that was running has physically been broken.
How do I make my own record scratch?
Describe the needle dragging across the grooves rather than asking for a scratch. Say which way the pitch moves, how rough the scrape is, and whether it stops dead or the turntable winds down afterwards.
Why does my scratch come out sounding like a DJ?
Because the word scratch means turntablism to a model, so it returns a rhythmic scratch pattern. Describing the physical drag of the needle across the grooves, with no rhythm in it, gets you the freeze-frame version instead.
Should the scratch stop dead or wind down?
Stop dead for a freeze frame, wind down when the joke is that everything is falling apart. The abrupt version lets you cut hard on the same frame, whereas the wind-down needs a second of picture to play under it.
How do I use it for a flashback?
Reverse it. A scrape that rises in pitch reads as going backwards rather than stopping, which takes an audience into a flashback without any caption or dissolve.
Can I use a generated record scratch commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Generating your own take also avoids the licensing question that comes with reusing someone else's upload.
