If only for a moment.....
I heard that Elaine, Blaine and Shane looked at Wayne in Spain who stayed mainly on the plane to escape the pain of the drain caused by the rain......Did he spend a lot of time on the aircraft? If so, the Wayne in Spain stayed mainly on the plane....
Mind you, Blaine has been known to lie through her recently dentist drilled teeth !
While I think that sound effects CDs and sound effects sample libraries are fantastic, there's really no substitute for, if possible, recording your own. Sometimes, it's a great challenge. For example, I wanted a sound of a baby crying. I'd recorded one back in 2001 on my micro cassette dictaphone but it was not good quality at all. By the time I recorded my friend's hungry baby earlier this year, I realized I'd waited nearly a decade before something small and portable and sneaky like the Zoom H1 came along to use. And being small and sneaky has been great. I've recorded snatches of conversation and cusses and gossip in shops, buses and other places, fights on the streets, cheers at the olympics, teachers giving lessons, helicopters, sirens, birds, rain etc. And no one is ever the wiser ! That's part of the fun !One more thing: Is there a particular reason why you'd prefer to record the rain yourself and not just download a sample from somewhere? There are literally hundreds - if not thousands - of nature captures available and many of them are free. You just gotta spend some time searching for the one that best suits your needs.
Some people just like to do their own. I want to capture a lion or tiger roar, next time I'm at the zoo !
