this program has a really interesting section on water acoustics and the sound of waves and drips and more importantly, bubbles - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... e_of_Waves

probably only available in the uk, but very interesting and worth trying to track down if you are elsewhere...

the section is about 17.30 mins in if you're in a hurry..

So it didn't quite sound like a water drop, but got some cool bubble noises.

The grain delay is fun :D

Without it, it sounded a bit more lazerish and the filter wasn't quite taking off the sharpness to make it more drop like.

More work needed, fun playing though :D

FTFY

Cool bubbles by the way. If you isolate one you have something like a water drop.

Thanks for the FIX

Yeah am going to resample that and get a drop I think. Add some reverb and should be good to go :D

Lots of fun and already have an idea to incorporate them into a track.
