Where to use it
Use impacts, hits, and whooshes according to your purpose, matching the timing to the movement and the words on screen.
What to check when using one
A level that is too loud, or using them too often, gets in the way of the picture and the voice. Also check the license and the redistribution terms.
Unlike ambience-style effects that set a scene over a long stretch, these are used as short accents.
