I think I’ve read that some people try to let their stingers ring out for maybe 3 to 5 seconds before they fade out completely. I’m finding my stingers sound pretty unnatural if I fade them out in less than ~8 seconds at least. How long do y’all let them ring out usually? Any tips to make a quick fade feel more natural?
I don’t think it’s much to worry about. Let it ring out naturally as the music editor will make the fade. Most likely the will just chop it. 🙂
It’s better to have too much than too little, as Art said, the editor can always fade or chop early. That definitely applies to 30 and 60 sec versions. With a 10-15 sec stinger, however, an 8 sec ring out might not leave room for other material in there so go by how it sounds in terms of visualizing the end of a scene. You might want to cut a few secs off that ring out.
