Anyone knows how to make raining pads? Like ones in rap songs, with thunders and shit.

I think they're probably just samples, that's what I've always used anyway. There's tons of royalty free ones around and they're usually a few minutes long too

thats illuminati man lol jk, as the guy said above, its probably sampled and then added a very quiet pad in the background to give it some ambience and not plain

So people just basically go out with mics while it's raining?

Pretty much

http://www.freesound.org has loads of royalty free samples. I often use that for all of my samples like that.

If you have a Mac you already have the sounds you're looking for. If not, interwebz.

The one's I've used for weather have been from freesound. Real nice for atmosphere

I believe Alchemy has rain pads in a certain library I cannot recall.

What do you guys think about bringing rain pads into dubstep?

Weather VSTs

There are actually several VST's that do a good job of recreating rain and wind etc.

Xoxos has several different atmospheric sound generaters including one for rain. http://www.xoxos.net/vst/vst.html#nature

Audiogaming have just released a new VST that do the same thing. http://www.audiogaming.net/audiowind-audiorain

Weather Samples

An easy one to find will be 'rainstick samples'

Google search for Kontakt weather sample packs, that ought to bring something up.

How To Synthesise Weather Effects

At a push, rain can be synthesised using white noise filtered using a bandpass filter so only the mid and high frequencies remain. Change the filter frequency to alter the 'intensity' of the rain.

You can make drip sounds by filtering a clap sound with a high pass filter so only the highest frequencies remain. Add some reverb for good effect.

Wind can be made using white noise filtered with a low pass filter with high resonance. Automate changes to the filter cutoff frequency and resonance amount to emulate gusts of wind and howling etc.

Layer these sounds together possibly with a sample of a running tap and your done!

Just tried this, been wanting to make a similar sound for a while. Cheers mate
