I can't believe we're already a quarter of the way through the year. Most of my plans for this year were thrown out the window a few weeks into the year, but it's all good! Stuff happens, and we move on!

When I was trying to think of music for April, I thought about the phrase April showers brings May flowers. A pretty common expression I've heard since I was a child. And so I thought about making a track inspired by the rain. I wanted to try doing some sound design with water and droplet sounds for the percussion, but it didn't quite work out. However, there's many ways to convey the feeling of rain!

After I tracked the main piano part, I thought about other elements that would feel like rain. I didn't want too many layers muddying this up. I wanted it to be a very clean sound.

I utilized transient shapers in this track a lot to give some softer sounds a harsher attack, which made them sound plucky like rain drops falling. I did a simple electric piano part on the offbeats, almost acting like a drone to emulate the pitter patter of rain, an idea I got after reading a comment on my Forest Feels video!

My favorite trick I pulled out for this one, was absolutely reverse sounds. Reversed instruments have such a unique texture that I always enjoy! So I took an electronic sound and reversed it. It reminded me of the moment before a raindrop hits the pavement and ripples.

The biggest challenge for me was the drums, honestly. I started with a loop, replaced it with samples, but it just didn't sit right with me. I felt a little stuck since the routing for my electronic drums is a bit messy compared to my acoustic routing with Superior Drummer 3. And then I remembered I could still use my acoustic kit and achieve the lo-fi sound I wanted through production! EQ and RC-20 were definitely my friends when mixing the drums for this one haha.

As for the video, I actually filmed with LOG settings for the first time! It's something I've seen a lot of my friends do over the years and have always wanted to try. I've had a camera with the capability for a few years now, but never knew how to change until recently. I think filming with the log settings gave me the perfect starting point for having a cloudy, grey look to represent rainy days.

And the rain particles helped too! I haven't used these in City of Tears, and I've definitely learned a lot more about particle placement and coloring since then. It was really nice to stretch my creative muscles with this one in most areas!

Hope you enjoy this chill, lo-fi track, Rain~
