Shaping Rainfall Intensity, Density and Environment

RAIN is built around controls for the character of the rain itself. You can adjust intensity and density to move from occasional single droplets to heavy downpours. Wetness and distance settings change how close and how saturated the rain sounds.

The environment is set separately. You choose the type of surface the rain falls on, adjust the spaciousness of the scene, and layer in pre-designed environment sounds. Boom states that the plugin includes over 50 of these layers.

The x/y controls let you adjust rainfall and environment together, which is useful when a scene needs quick changes rather than detailed programming.

Workflow for Scenes and Picture Sync

RAIN includes 26 ready-to-go rainfall scenes. You can use them as they are or modify them to fit a specific shot or sequence. These presets are a practical starting point when a project calls for a rainy atmosphere quickly.

Global tone settings are available for final adjustments. Boom describes the interface as intuitive and easy to use, with built-in adjustable global settings.

Because the parameters are designed to be automated, the rain can follow picture changes in real time.
