Hi folks,
You might remember that I posted a question regarding a "front to back" effect in a stereo recording a few weeks back, well, I've got another question relating to the same track:
How do I go about making myself a nice, clean and crisp rainfall sound? I want to record a song where the listener can visualize him/her self walking down the street in the rain, with cars, drains and different surfaces being drenched with rainfall. To do this properly and easily, I'm going to need to layer the entire track piece by piece, with a nice, level rainfall sound behind it as a base to work from. I've hunted the net, but can only find 10 second clips, which IMO are very poorly recorded and sound muddy.
I'd prefer to record this in stereo, but as I only have 1 AKG Perception 400 and 1 Samson Q7, I doubt I'll get an even stereo mix. Another thing is that I obviously don't need to get my mics wet, but can't have the sound of an umbrella in my recording, so I think I'm up that famous creek, without that paddle!!
Any advice is greatly appreciated,
many thanks!
