Rain
Rain sounds: listen before you mix.
This rain excerpt was recorded in Voghera, Italy, by Stagno. Listen below. In Oasis, keep the rain on its own, add wind or brown noise, then save the mix to return to later.
Begin with rain alone
Start with only rain and lower it until it is present without taking over. Listen in the room where you will actually use it.
Example: rain and a river
Add a very light river beneath rain for more movement. If the textures blur together, lower one instead of raising the overall volume.
Example: rain and brown noise
A subtle brown noise can make the background feel more continuous in a changing environment. Keep rain as the leading sound.
Available without a network
Download your chosen recordings in Oasis first. Once a download has finished, you can listen without a connection.
Frequently asked questions
Are Oasis rain sounds real recordings?
Oasis brings together nature recordings from real places. The app identifies the origin, creator, and license for each sound.
How do I keep rain from becoming distracting?
Begin at a low volume and add a second sound only if you need it. A useful soundscape can stay almost unnoticed.
Can I save a rain mix?
Yes. With active Oasis access, you can save your own soundscapes with their levels and positions on the iPhone you use.
Do rain sounds work offline after downloading?
Yes, once you have downloaded the recordings in Oasis.
