Storms and rain

A big thunderstorm (rain, claps), recorded with two AKG C414EB, Daking IV preamp and Lavry Blue converter.

This was really a heavy one with many many thunders. Unfortunatelly the peak of the storm wasn't very usefull/interesting, because the overal rumble was so loud and consistent that individual claps weren't distinct enough. This recording is from the calmer part.

Please don't put my raw sounds/files on youtube or anywere else. You can use it in creative way as a part of some artform, but not "re-distribute them". Thank you.

I guess some spectral editor (like izotope RX) could get rid of (or significantly attenuate) the dogs in this file. The dogs are part of the city atmosphere though, as are the sirens.

I would've liked to say "Awesome", because it's such a clear and crisp recording that I have to look out my window to convince myself it's a sunny day.. but that damn dog is keeping me stuck at "Nice".. but still, just about a width of a hair of "Awesome".

Great work. Thanks for the opportunity to use this additional effect, I used this in my fireplace video background sound, entertaining element (video also contains music, and part of this thunderstorm)
