Slow down your repeater by a bit at the beginning, remember rain is slow, yet deliberate
peaceful yet powerful
a little slow haunting trance is nice...
as a rule of thumb for new people that are coming into the audio world... you might try to think of a song that you want to make by humming it
in any given situation, hum the song out and remember it...
record it
then play it back to yourself at your computer when you have the availability and then make a song that follows the tune that you make
make some noise with your given sound maker :3
then let it flow through you and out through your fingers ^.^
