Sound cut-out

An audio technique that abruptly stops ongoing sound, leaving silence.

Compare the silence after the abrupt stop with the uninterrupted music.

Often confused with

• Audio fade in / out: An effect that gradually brings sound in or out rather than stopping it abruptly
• Smash cut: An abrupt edit to a shot with contrasting mood or action rather than a cut to silence
