Heights of illusion with Rain effects! By Ashley C' THX 3417
Heights of sounds reflections start to gather up as the clouds come together for a downfall of pouring rain...
The first drops of rain start to make contact, with the highest mountain, the birds, and the TV aerial on the building next the roof then the trees then the drain guttering then the greenhouse in the garden the grass and the patio...
And all this at different arrivals of time...this is also a combination of randomised sounds due to the heights involved...and though I don't have a PhD in psychoacoustics the way we perceive sound, thou I do listen to the real world sounds quite often...?
And when it comes to a film with this type of effects how to make it real as possible without drowning the audience!
I will be slowly looking at this over the next few posts and to see what is the best rain effects on motion picture film soundtracks...
And other ways to modify and re-plugging the AVR I have done a few diagrams...and due to limitations of resources at the moment...I have to go with what's on hand for me to do this test...
While running Dolby Digital 5.1 and dts 5.1, with some limitations to where I what to heighten the effect of rain sound effects, and maybe use some gating circuitry.
I have only a few Dolby pro-logic decoders and need at least 6 more total 8 to start the test...
Anyway hear is a list of films with rain effects in them, look though the list careful and see which one, you think has the best rain effects in the film via leistering to it first hand.

I have given this some serious thought I have, but I need an assistant, that way we can cover a lot of ground, as reviewing and looking into this with greater depth and scope, takes a lot of man hours, and woman's hours as well.
