Cavoe Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) I really like this, love the nostalgic feeling I get from it. Only thing I don't really like is the tinny sound of the drums and the slight buzz you mentioned. Damn good job BTW, the "Bass" line is actually a nylon guitar in the original X-COM =) Edited March 19, 2004 by Cavoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATeX Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 I like the idea in the context of XCOM1 very much because it's oldskool. U could just fit it right in the old dos game and a newb wouldn't notice. Nice rythm, nice pads, etc etc. Great job on that one! BUT! I don't think that a game released in 2005-2006 with it's "super advanced" (in resamblance with the original dos game) graphics will still fit with 80's music. Try some more modern pads, some better quality drums. U know the picture. Don't get me wrong. The composition is great. I like it very much! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikker Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 its great, maybe a bit too diffrent from the dark-ambient concepts originally intented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flam Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 what was that stuff about "no metal in Xenocide"...crap...i've been tracking metal since...hmm...1997 i guess pst.. here's my latest:reach.mp3 i think this would be great for some "win game" outro. ...unfortunately, most of the ppl don't think the way i do.

Raven Squad Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Now where is said that metal music totally no no for this project? IMO atleast one interception song should be metal or hard rock . Anyway i like ur metal song, tho not as much as i liked your Expressions of our existence. In this newest ur guitar melodies are good, but i dont like your drums. IMO they are little powerless. Btw what tracker are u using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinzon Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 wow i really liked the last one... would make great music for teh geoscape... it even has a high point and not all toned down ambience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupSuper Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 that last one is great, really reminds me of ye olde geoscape. keep up the good work i tried downloading the other soundtracks but i get 404 errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeDrake Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yes, I got the errors too. They aren't there anymore . Are there copies of these lying around somewhere that I can get ahold of? Liked the Ambience a lot, great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red knight Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Flam, that track is just plain AMAZING. I like it a lot. Please contact Raven Squad to upload the source files for the track. GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Squad Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 This really captures the original ufos music mood perfectly . Maybe you could put little less reverb to the drums, but in overall this sounds great. Can you encode this to ogg and post it here or send it to my email so i can put it on the ftp server.

I like it very much! wink.gif this is not a nintendo gameboy game, neither an old early 90s game... the composition is nice, put it in a new jacket! use reason, fruity loops, absynth, whatever, but stay away from the old sounds. There's an evolution in music with some reason. love to hear your progress! cheers, ATeX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flam Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) stay away from the old sounds. damn, i thought i did. i've gotta meditate on this Edited January 11, 2005 by flam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATeX Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 hehe what I mean by old sounds is the synths. Get new synths, higher quality drums etc etc. The best thing to do is to get Reason, Fruity loops, or any other program you'd like to work with that isn't too old. A very very nice synth program is Absynth. Others might be too advanced like Reaktor etc... Also, get some tutorials on those programs. :wink1: What do you think?

flam Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 i've tried out both reason & fruity loops. FL feels like i toy or something and reason is just awkward to use i've been using renoise for some time now. the synths on that song are mostly done with NI Fm7 + some freeware piano-vst. i dont think they're too old, but ...hmm. well, i agree that the drums are old, but ... hmmm. i'll go leech some soundtracks and continue my meditation on this matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Squad Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Here is decent free SoftSynth Superwave P8 and good place to get free vst and vsti Vsti site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATeX Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 FM7 is a nice synth program idd. But if u use the simple square waves etc. It sounds old. Put effects on the synths. Use more oscillators. Use delays, chorus, reverb, etc etc Spread the sounds over the spectrum, give it some space to breath. Use smart panning. Automate effects. It goes way beyond emagination... By the way, Reason might seem akward on first sight indeed. Eitherway I stronly recommend that program! It's about the best out there. The Prodigy used only Reason for their newest album! And it's not expensive at all for what u get. Think about it. Cheers,ATeX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flam Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 well, i'll post this scrap here before things get too organized at teh Snd. something i'm supposed to finish pt. 234236: http://www.lyytine.herwood.net/musa/xeno_m...ta_preview1.mp3 after the first 8 seconds i kinda lost the idea where to develop the song.

ATeX Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 sounds great!! Nice harmonic progression! What about adding an orchestra in order to get that real cinematic feeling? If you'd like me to, I could help cheers,ATeX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikker Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 it's nice, but i don't like the tempo. If you use windows Media Player and set it to 'fast or 'slow' it sounds much better. Although the fast doesn't really sound like a tune for the planetview, it's still cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flam Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 i don't like the tempo. If you use windows Media Player and set it to 'fast or 'slow' it sounds much better. slower might sound better. maybe. What about adding an orchestra in order to get that real cinematic feeling? If you'd like me to, I could help actually i think the beat is somewhat crap and the piano sounds corny. yesterday this sounded much better Gotta change something. so, yeah, an orchestra, why not. any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
