Become The Rainmaker
From single droplets over the softest drizzle to the most heavy downpours. Get it done with RAIN – the ultimate rain generator for sound designers. Experiment with extremely versatile intensity and density rainfall parameters, ranging from the occasional single droplet to heavy rainforest downpours, vibrant wetland trickles and everything in between.
The Creative Power of Rain, in Your Hands
Save yourself a massive amount of time by embracing the simple, interactive sound design workflow of RAIN. Seamlessly blend your rain sound to the desired context in real time with automation to picture. Experiment with extremely versatile intensity and density rainfall parameters, ranging from the occasional single droplet to heavy rainforest downpours, vibrant wetland trickles and everything in between.
Intuitive interface with built-in global settings encompassing the entire rain soundscape
Weather Any Challenge: In sound design, film production, game development, or any facet of the media industry, RAIN excels at creating lifelike, customizable rain sounds.
Create Rainfall: Quickly create flexible rainfall scenarios with easy-to-use x/y controls. Shape the immensely flexible intensity and density parameters of your rainfall. Experiment with freely moving the distance of the rainfall from the listener and play with the wetness of the surface, before further altering the overall shape of your simulated rain sound with various tonal parameters.
Adjust the Environment: RAIN can generate a variety of environments for your rainfall from wide open fields, to overgrown forest floors and sprawling urban landscapes, allowing you to fully craft your own unique rain environment. Start by selecting the type of the surface upon which the rain falls, adjusting the spaciousness of the scene and work with over 50 pre-designed layers to easily find the rain sound you need.
Get Inspired by Scenes: Use our scenes for quick and easy rain inspiration. Be taken on a journey through 26 different RAIN soundscapes, easily modify them for your own requirements or use them as they are for your rainy-day needs.
Machine Learning for Smart Gain Compensation
RAIN uses neural networks to do the “smart gain compensation”, which depends on a lot of parameters. We trained them with “Deep Learning” on the relationship between parameters and levels, so they were able to learn the complex relationships regarding the influence of the different parameters on the level.
The Smart toggle button, enabled by default, is designed to intelligently manage the wide dynamic range between subtle trickles and torrential downpours. When activated, this feature ensures a controlled audio output that maintains consistency across rain intensities.
