Rain is 4 hours / 7.74Gb of rain on many surfaces.
113 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz. All sounds are UCS-compatible.
Rain is a library of sounds collected since 2011. It features rain recorded as ambiances or beds and as specifics. For me, rain is the same as wind:
if it sounds like white noise, it isn’t interesting. Just like my wind recordings, I have recorded rain where it hits something that makes a distinctive
sound, something with a bit of character, rhythm or feeling.
Over the years, I have recorded rain in M/S, A-B stereo and mono. I have used condensers and contact mics. All of that is represented
in this collection.
Some of the recordings exist in both original M/S versions, as well as the decoded results (XY). In this way, you can get ready-to-use stereo,
or get more control of width (or just the mono signal) with M/S. A few of the sounds were only recorded in mono, and I have left them in as such. They are quite percussive and close-up anyway, so may be used as elements. You also get several seamless loops.
You will find rain on man-made materials, as well as vegetation, and even a couple of rain recordings from Sri Lanka and Tokyo. These have been released previously in their own libraries, but I thought they were both interesting and generic enough to do some good here as well.

With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.
A Sound Effect is an excellent resource for us to keep our animated films sounding unique and exciting.
A Sound Effect is a great asset to have discovered.
We found the site very easy to navigate, purchasing and downloads were effortless and the effects themselves are awesome! Asbjoern has done us all a great service.
We’ll definitely be back!
There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
