Question about use of sounds..

Well, in my view, the sound of rain comes from the droplets hitting the ground (obviously) So if you were to use a Cardioid microphone and point it upwards (therefore only recording the sky) it would cut out the noise from underneith, plus you could also raise the mic up off the ground a few meters somehow to decrease rain noise even further

good point, but remember the higher you raise the mic the higher the roof above it would have to be as the water hitting the roof would make a lot of noise, especially if you’re using cardoid settings and you’re pointing straight up it.

But thanks for that vaisnava, i’m going to go and try that. Just need to wait for a thunderstorm now.

Not easy to get a good lightning sound — the most crisp lightning sound I ever heard was synthesized.

for real?! Say whaaaaaaaat. I need to hear that. Know where I can do that Joel?

Yeh you can make pretty cool stuff with nothin but a synth. What an age we live in I wanna hear it too!

I’d love to show it you guys, but we’re talking about something I heard about ten years ago.

10 years ago ?!

This is madness. I guess i’ll start layering those 3xOSC’s and see where I get!
