THUNDER & RAIN – third sound effects library from our series of high quality and amazing nature recordings by Emmy award winning nature recording genius Gordon Hampton. Hampton has explored the globe for over three decades to capture nature in its most pristine form, and we are proud to be the exclusive distributor besides Gordon’s own company, QUIET PLANET.
This collection has everything you need to create the perfect storm: 22 separate recordings of thunder, including close-range thumps, resonant peels and distant rumblings; plus 35 rains of varying intensity and nine storm records. There is one full hour of rainfall (61 minutes) and one full thunderstorm (41 minutes) to quickly find the sound you want with the right duration. None of these thunder and rain files appear in the Nature Essentials collection.
The environment is as close as possible to the natural and original bright sound of nature. Once empowered to unleash your true acoustic potential, these stunning 5.0 surround sound recordings will surely keep you from settling for less in the future.
