I’ve been listening to the quiet hum of rain on leaves and thinking about how we could capture that gentle, almost meditative sound in a recording—do you think a natural soundscape could be a fresh canvas for sonic exploration?
Yeah, absolutely. That gentle rain on leaves is like a low‑key orchestra of micromovements – every droplet, every leaf whisper adds a layer you can tease out. Pick a high‑sensitivity condenser, set it a foot or so off the canopy, and run a low‑pass to keep the high‑frequency hiss at bay. Use a soft‑siding compressor just to tame the peaks, then add a bit of natural reverb to give it that open‑air feel. Trust the subtlety, and let the rain do the talking.
Sounds perfect—just let the rain speak and let the mic catch each whisper. I’ll set the levels right and keep the mix airy, so the natural hush comes through. This could be a lovely, grounding piece.
