First of all, why did iDoser spend all the time, money, and dedication to record rain in the Congo Rainforest? Above all, it all starts with pure, ambient, nature music.

Nature Music

First of all, you can EASILY find hundreds of recordings of rain sounds. Above all, what’s the difference between rain sound effects and a binaural sleep system? The ultimate binaural recording of rain was recorded live in the Congo Rainforest for 8 hours. Hence, one of the world’s most influential and beautiful forces of nature captured in a live recording. Most noteworthy, this is not a sound effect; it is an experience.

Also, there is one other element – the beautiful sound of thunder.

Sound of Thunder

From the clouds to the ground, a lightning bolt takes a thousandth of a second to explode through the air. First of all, the thunder that accompanies lightning does not emanate from the bolt itself. Those fantastic, deep, low grumbles are from the expansion of air. Hence, when recording rain sounds in the Congo Rainforest, iDoser couldn’t just record any storm. First of all, the accompanying thunder had to be a perfect low frequency to be indicative of sleep. Likewise, the powerful lightning couldn’t crack loud enough to wake somebody up, or else it wouldn’t be an effective sleep system. Finally, especially with a binaural recording, this was infinitely more complex a task than it sounds. Above all, after recording hundreds of storms for their sleep music, the final (unedited, uncut, unfiltered) storm was used for their binaural rain recording. What makes it a binaural recording?

Binaural Recording  

First of all, we must differentiate between a binaural recording and binaural beats. The 8-hour congo rainforest soundtrack contains a sublayer binaural beats. Also, the actual recording of the rain sounds is a binaural recording using advanced audio equipment. Furthermore, this involves two high-powered microphones and specialized weather-resistant equipment. Above all, the result is a fantastic spacial 3D audio recording of the Congo Rainforest. Using this method certainly allows iDoser to create a stereo soundscape. Furthermore, it puts the listener right in the middle of one of the most beautiful recordings of rain sounds ever created. Imagine going to sleep to that? Hence, you can start to see why it took them two years to get the perfect recording optimized for sleep. Finally, this is the difference between rain sound effect and a rain-based sleep system.

Binaural Beats

So, take an incredible 8-hour recording of the Congo Rainforest. First of all, how do you make it even better for sleep? Most noteworthy, you take those rain sounds and tightly integrate them with powerful binaural beats. We already know the rain was captured using binaural recording techniques. So, what are binaural beats? Above all, listening to binaural beats has been proven to have many beneficial effects. Most noteworthy, they can aid insomnia, increase cognition and creativity, and are incredibly relaxing. Binaural  beats can also have other health benefits. They have been used to enhance learning, are used in meditation and are the primary toolset for the lucid dreamer. Imagine the world’s best binaural recording integrated with powerful binaural beats designed to help you sleep…. Consequently, the result is a compelling sleep soundtrack.

3D Sound

As we discussed with binaural recording, the use of two high-powered microphones are used to create 3D space around the listener. First of all, 3D sound is critical to a binaural recording. Even more, if you go on your favorite music service and search for “rain sounds” you will find many examples. Listen to a few. Most noteworthy, you will hear one of two things: A simple rain “sound effect” that is not nearly long enough for sleeping. Or, a 2D recording with a single microphone. Often these recordings will have loud lightning cracks, ear-piercing raindrops, and are generally not optimized to help you sleep. So, listen to a binaural recording of sleep sounds as powerful as the Congo Rainforest. You want to be engulfed, entwined, and wholly entangled in the majesty of nature.

Congo Rainforest

First of all, where do you get the perfect binaural recording of rain sounds? Catatumbo lightning, or the everlasting storm, was always the first choice for iDoser. Most noteworthy, in this stunning location, there are an average of 300 storms a year. Furthermore, we need a specific frequency, duration, and level of rain for the perfect sleep soundtrack. Also, it is not uncommon for the skies here to be beautifully illuminated in glorious lighting for over 9 hours a night. Finally, it was critical to iDoser that they record 8 hours of uninterrupted rain sounds. Along the equator, where temperatures are higher, these storms happen throughout the entire year. The Congo is known as the storm capital of the world. Hence, this location would be the backdrop to creating one of the most amazing binaural recordings for sleep every produced.

Tropical Biome

Furthermore, the Congo Rainforests are a belt of tropical moist forest, which spreads across the basin of the Congo River and its branches in Central Africa. First of all, this unique tropical biome was an ideal recording location for a few essential reasons. Also, there was a need for a pure and completely uninterrupted binaural recording of rain sounds. Hence, it was decided not to use rain that was hitting a roof, a street, or a human-made structure. Most noteworthy, the tropical biome of the Congo Rainforest was the logical choice for the duration and regularity of storms. Furthermore, the patter of rain against foliage was the perfect backdrop. It is not an easy task. Weather, bugs, location, and finding the “perfect sleep storm” took an extensive amount of recording time. Come to find out, recording rainfall isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Recording Rainfall

First of all, recording in the Congo Rainforest means there is no beeping cars or disruptive sounds. Furthermore, it requires that a binaural recording of pure rain sounds, uninterrupted for 8 hours, be expertly captured. How do you correctly record the gentle rumble of thunder, the sound of rain against nature, and the gentle patter of raindrops for so long? Also, when capturing such a long recording of rain, there are bound to be disruptions. Furthermore, the storm can get too loud or die off. All 8 hours require the use of a technician monitoring the entire recording. Even more, there were weather professionals on hand to guide in the direction, strength, and duration of the storms. So, why not just stick a microphone on top of a building in the United States? You won’t get the pure, natural, and uninterrupted simplicity of a beautiful rainfall recording.

Finally, you know what goes into a binaural recording of the Congo Rainforest. Consequently, you understand how these rain sounds make the perfect backdrop to active sleep music. Even more, you realize how powerful binaural beats can be alone, nevermind professionally mixed with beautiful binaural rain. The only question left is: Are you ready to try it?
