Character Theme Music
« on: October 04, 2005, 12:40:17 pm »
Ive been working on theme music for my character and wondered if anyone else has done the same?.

Dosent need to be long, a few mins at the most.  But please, no taking credit for other peoples work or using any known existing artists work.

Ive always believed sometimes music can describe things better than words.

Id be intrested in hearing what people come up with :)

Exellent!, a fellow musician :D

I tend to use Fl Studio, cubase (if i have too), reason (again only if I have too), goldwave and adobe audition.

If I can i generate my own sounds but otherwise I look and listen around me (wouldnt believe where you can get some great samples from lol).

Im also having ago at making a Audio movie lol... SFX are always my fav bit :D

The trouble is always finding a catch or starter tune as you know. I always find my tunes sounding like a game soundtrack lol.

Anything go`s, no matter what it sounds like.  As long as its your own work.

hmm me musician, hah, lol that\'s the funniest joke i\'ve heard all day. I don\'t make my music. I get friends or people I know to do differant pieces then I make music and songs out of it.

I use many programs for what I do but mainly Magix music maker 2005.

Audio movie? hah i\'ve done one of those once. but too busy to do one again.

I have trouble finding starting music too. I use songs like planeshift\'s music and music from games like settlers and anything medieval and stuff or fantasy.

it twill be my own work. maybe a couple of pieces that will sound similar to other music you\'ve heard but not the same songs :P.

well mine is going ok. working on it on 2 comps. 1 that has a very low CPU so it runs the music very slow. another (this one) which has the internet connected has most of the sounds saved but I just save the sounds and what i\'ve done to my USB drive and bring it back and fourth between my comps to make the music.

Sounds like a plan :)

Its picking the right backing too... making sure the ambient sounds come through without stealing focus away from the main tune.

It theres such a thing called Writters Block, then theres got to be a musician version of it too lol... and Ive got it GGGRRR :(.  Im going through my VST collection but nothing fits.

Still im going to press on...

Ooooh violins! Can you get a suspicious violin tune for me? I\'m getting some new software for my ubuntu.
:D

I like the Idea.

/me firing up GarageBand, dedusting the Midi-Keyboard, turning in the M-Audio and waiting for inspiration.

what you do, is hand me some music, then i will send you a WAV of whatever  i come up to go with it, then you can add that as a layer to the song. Just specify the timing of such parts as bridges, chorus\'s and verse parts, any leads you might want, the kind of tones you want me using (Clean, acoustic, blues, jazz, extreme ub3r german metal band or rectifier, though i think the first four work best)

Im up for parts ^^

Ok, heres how I would like mine to go so far.  Just an idea, one of many :D



Edit:

Ok, due to a hosting bandwidth problem if you want to hear posted tunes from me please PM me with an email address and i will email it to you.

I forgot to mention the track is just an example of the style I will be using.  I want to make clear that this is not my work.

I have low quality (helps with the size) snips of my own work avalible, again if your intrested PM me with an email address.
