~~'''~~Earrape~~'''~~ is a term used for incredibly loud~~, incredibly~~ distorted audio~~. The point of earrape is~~ to ~~be shocking,~~ with ~~its occurrences often being~~ sudden ~~and unexpected (like a jumpscare)~~. ~~However, this is not always the case, as many~~ [[tennis]] ~~works will~~ just ~~be incredibly~~ loud ~~for the entire video~~. ~~In these cases, it~~ is less ~~about~~ being shocking, ~~and~~ more ~~about being "extreme", kinda like~~ the ~~constant distortion seen in~~ something like ~~death metal~~.

[[Earrape]] is a term used for incredibly loud and distorted audio, often used to 'jump' the viewer with a sudden burst of noise. In [[tennis]], earrape is very common often just because editing styles tend to get very loud. There is less of an emphasis of being shocking, instead more towards the vibe of something like a rock concert.

=History=

Toadomos was one of the earliest players to make heavy use of earrape [citation needed].

=Usage=

~~The simplest way to do this~~ is ~~simply~~ to ~~go into your editor of choice~~ and ~~make~~ the audio ~~as loud as possible. However~~, ~~it tends~~ to be ~~more effective when done with distortion techniques.~~

Earrape is usually done by applying a distortion filter to audio and setting it to its maximum setting (usually a top-left graph in the visualizer). Just moving the audio all the way up is usually not enough, or may not produce the intended distortion

(to be added)

==Vegas==

In [[Vegas]], apply the Distortion audio effect to your footage, then drag the graph to the top-left:

In [[~~Premiere~~]]~~, add the Distortion audio effect and set it to the "infinite distortion" preset. This should be all you need to do.~~

In [[~~Vegas~~]], ~~(add later)~~

In [[Premiere]], apply the Distortion audio effect to your footage, setting the preset to "infinite distortion".
