Re: rain samples to share
Hi there,
Very nice recording there.
I felt I was there.
I just wasted a bit of money buying some CD's of some environmental
sounds like that.
Yeah, yeah, I know I could've recorded my own but it hasn't rained here
lately.
Thanks for sharing.
Got any more?
Best,
Ted Killian
