Strata Help

The Ambience Detailed Rain collection is arranged in subprojects that include a variety of flexible rain sounds in a broad range of environments and intensities. The sounds are customized using multiple control tracks.

The Rain Background subproject is mixed using higher-order ambisonics with assets recorded in Octo3d 8-channel format. They are set up to render in a variety of common multichannel formats to suit your requirements, ranging from binaural to 7.0.4, as well as multiple orders of ambisonics in AmbiX, allowing 360 degrees of listening immersion. The subproject is configured to render as seamless loops and blend multiple layers of sounds.

In addition to the subproject set up for ambisonic mixing, there is the Rain Single Drops Subproject configured for continuously variable layers with mono renders for use as point source objects to populate and dynamize your environments.

The Rain Close subproject is configured to render stereo files, also featuring multiple layers of rain intensity on multiple surfaces, which can be used as point source objects.

The subprojects are arranged to allow auditioning according to your monitor systems and rendering in a comprehensive range of formats. By default, they are configured to monitor in stereo.

The complete list of all the subprojects and their associated data and embedded metadata is available in the accompanying Ambience Detailed Rain SoundBook.
