Comments
regardless, I have much respect for even the ATTEMPT made, good job
heh... well now that's its done downloading and I've heard one of them (cornered marines) I must say I was surprised, I was expecting ambient music, instead this is more of an upbeat scenario ripped mix... not bad regardless, I think you should try to do one song with pure beats though, and forget the game .wav's, they kinda undermine the music... my comment still stands, good job...
Interesting...these are the ideas i need so i can make something we ALL like. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Classical > all

I need a classic song that has 4/4 beats per bar and doesnt switch to 3/3 half way like some confusing ones do.
Hows about some Drum + Bass with the classiky thing? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> WORD!
If you want me to add that then your going to have to make me a small script up, im absolutely useless at thinking of lines, but once i have them im ok.
Sooo, so far:
Drum + Bass (1 vote)
Classical Mixing (1 vote)
New Voice Script (1 vote)
Keep em coming..
Also known as Dies Irae.
This is some great stuff. Raven's cradle would have been nice if the Dies Irae parts were a bit louder in contrast with the beat. Sounds kind of washed out in comparison, which is a shame.
but ravens cradle must be my fav music wise, and cornerd marines for the sheer feeling of it.
random noise after listening to "corned marines";
i want more music underlined by the HA walking sound... and sieges <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Infestation feels pretty good, but it could use more *oomph*. It feels a bit like a SNES track as it is. That simulated guitar could stand to feel stronger. It's a solid tune, though. The movement is good. The samples from NS just don't seem to fit.
I notice you're using the duckjob fairly often. Long Game started pretty good with the deep resounding piano bit, but then it falls to that weakish plinking beat that just doesn't feel very satisfying. It develops a bit once you bring in the guitarish riff, but it's still unsatisfyingly weak. You used the Kharaa narrator voice to nice and subtle effect around 1:54 and 1:58-59, which is nice and mysteriously moody. The ding-ding-ding at 2:37 is--again--quite weak and maybe not really useful. It repeats at about 3:11 and is still not quite good, though the music itself around this point is nice and has little Asian undertones, which could stand to be highlighted. The entire ending sequence just doesn't fit.
Duckjob's presence is felt at the beginning of the NS Tribute track again. The beat of this track is done rather well and has some *oomph*, but it's rather boring. The spatterings of gunfire and such don't do much to enhance anything.
Ravens Cradel [Cradle?] is... About the same. Still with a weak techno beat. The poor samples used from a classical operatic piece aren't crisp enough to really make much of a strong impact. The quality of the piece used is just too low compared to everything else.
The plinking cymbal beat in Ride the Onos is... Quite irritating, though the rest of the piece is quite nice up to 1:10. The guitar is used to very good effect [until the high-pitched one kicks in, which is equally irritating]. At roughly 1:44 you kill the cymbals, which is much nicer. The darker guitar rif could stand to be highlighted more. The piano bit almost sounds like a saloon piano, which fits nicely with the almost-Western theme. The twanging, reverberating steel guitar near the end adds to the theme nicely, as do the windy tumbleweed bits.
Sci-Fi Moments is really the strongest piece here, I find. It has the most depth and feeling. The strong bits I pointed out from the previous tracks would go well in something more like this. Something more honest.
Over-all, I have to say there isn't anything enormously original with any of this, but there is a good deal of potential, as shown by the little things I mentioned. But that is all entirely my own personal opinion. I never liked the disco era, so stuff that sounds reminiscent of that don't click too well with me [too much treble, not enough heart-beat]. They succeed on their own merits, though. The NS samples mostly just get in the way.
Thank you for sharing these. I enjoyed listening to them.
The next song will feature NO 'ns' sounds.
Few more decisions and i think im ready..
That military walk sound would be a great beat setter, i heard something similar to this in C+C Red Alert or a other C+C games where the marching army sets the beat of the music, sound really cool.
I cant seem to find any sound samples like this. But would love to get sum.
I say this because you already used it to brilliant effect in Cornered Marines. As I said in my review of that piece, it worked well. And your ability to mess with samples--as demonstrated to varying degrees in most of those pieces--tells me you can do this sort of thing.
Drum + Bass
Classic-like theme involved
Marine HA walk sound to the beat (or army marching HA noise if i can get the reverb right, i do have the tools)
What does FTW mean? im unfamiliar with that new internet slang ^-^;
More TechnoRock!!!
I believe Fox One answered my question about that affirmatively. It appears to be "For The Win". Or maybe, "4 teh winz0rz!!1!11!!!!!111"
I couldnt find a classical tune to remix due to a bitrate and quality error im getting the last month. It started sounding all ghettoish, the main song tune will be classicy but it wont be a familiar piece.
Main product still under way...
----------------------------------
-2 Songs being made instead of 1, ye lucky gits my last work assignment got cut.
1st song as planned below:
---------------------------------------
-No classic song remixes involved. See next point...
-Classic tune involved but nothing powerful.
-HA walking sound IS in there, but no army march type. (mebbe next time ill extract from RA)
-Drum + Bass tune and whole song confirmed at 136BPM.
-Drum + Bass style beat, with smooth classical features, blended in with neat results.
-This song is 40% completed.
-I dont think its better than Ravens Cradel but its ok.
2nd song as stated below:
---------------------------------------
-This tune represents the Homeworld theme for Kharaa planet, now i havent read much of Kharaa, but off some artwork iv seen im picturing a planet full of warm forrests and wildlife where the kharaa wander freely and naturally. So i built the theme to represent the feeling around the planet.
-The theme contains some strong bassline in the beat, so hurry up and get those amps & sub-woofers fitted!!! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
-Its a slower rhythm.
-Sounds kinda sci-fi-ish in some parts if you like that stuff but this song is mainly for you to lean back and (mebbe) even relax to.
-Supposed to sound fantasy-ish but i dont know if i have accomplished that.
-This project is completed

You might think because i finish these fast that i may be rushing them, all i can say is that 1. I hardly sleep in the middle of things when im getting deep into it. 2. What is sleep anyway? and extra one, 3. I spend average 18-28 hrs on these each. Ravens Cradel: 40hrs.
<b>[First post updated to show all downloads]</b>
[EDIT] Ideas for a 3rd piece are hitting me, im suggesting doing a voice act with a 10 minute script, hopefully other ppl involved to play parts. All is being considered...lemme think on that one.

kenichi ftw!!
