FAQs
How do I make it sound tense versus busy?
Change the density. Tension is a near-empty room tone with one distant creak and a single paper rustle; a busy gallery is many overlapping voices, papers, and coughs. Name the moment and the generator sets the layers accordingly.
Why does my courtroom crowd sound like static?
Because 'a courtroom crowd' has no parts. Say what the murmur is made of, overlapping low voices, shuffling papers, the odd cough, bench creaks, and give a density. Named layers read as a gallery; a single label reads as noise.
Can a courtroom bed sit under dialogue?
Yes. A tense-silence or empty-room bed is best, a low room tone with sparse events leaves the whole midrange clear for testimony. Save the dense gallery murmur for wide shots without a speaking line.
Can I use these courtroom beds commercially?
Audio from Morphic's paid plans is cleared for commercial use, including broadcast dramas and ads. See your plan's terms for the details of the license.
How do I get the reaction when a verdict is read?
Ask for 'a sudden swell of low overlapping gasps and murmurs' over the room tone. Placing the swell on the cut to the verdict gives you the gallery's reaction without cutting away to show every face.
What is 'room tone' and why do I want it?
Room tone is the quiet sound a space makes when nothing is happening, here a low hum and faint air. It stops a silent shot from feeling dead and glues your dialogue and effects into one continuous space.
