What are Music "Stingers"?

A Stinger is a very short piece of music that begins and ends within a matter of a few seconds.

They are not like a music-loop which is made for looping around and a round to create a never ending piece of music. A "Stinger" has a beginning, a middle-part, and an end. It's not made for looping.

Stingers can be used for many purposes (splash screens, logos, highlights, underlining a point), but the most common use of Stingers is in the transition between scenes. Look at an episode of "Friends". Every time the story moves from one location to another, we see a little shot of the new location, and the music plays a "Stinger".

Use our full mix and stingers together in the same production, to keep the soundtrack consistent and provide a thread connecting pieces together.
