another snippet that came to me while experimenting with mood and instruments. =)

You nailed it, Calined.. Especially the 'world' feel in the structure of the progression

wow, thanks so much! ^^
(this goes right onto my wall to wield off the negative comments that come from my head!) =)

another snippet that came to me while experimenting with mood and instruments. =)

I was about to comment on the piano improve (great progression on that) but holy shit Sand City People. Finish that up son, that's some mystical magical shit there.

For the thread's consideration, I submit several chiptunes for YM2203 and YM2608:

EVENT_2.M (YM2203)
LAMSUN.M (YM2203)

Both of those split FM3's output through a fairly obscure programming trick to get more voices.

Mindstorm (Chaos) (YM2608 + 86 PCM)

This one uses a special stereo field trick using a DAC flag and glitch effects lovingly done in the source code.

Programmer dickwaving aside, I hope these sound as good as they were fun to program.

The only one I can think of objectively, is that you should finish it. Half finished stuff is.. just that

Anyway, here for an upcoming game I can't go into details with.. It has recently been hijacked.





And a more cinematic approach..

There's some bum notes in this but it's something I'm working on: https://soundcloud.com/aamptrack/inset2-unmixed-wip

*pours honey into face*

wow i have little idea what all this means o.o
you are doing it the hardcore-oldschool way but with stepping through some backdoor that kind of existed?^^

i dig the vibe of them =D
feels oldschool but doesn't make me cringe like some raw chiptunes

i especially like the echoing metally/crystally sound in the 3rd one.

i might get back to it =)
but i am afraid i might destroy it XD
but usually it's better after i went through with it again^^

The Raid: i like the part that starts at 0:35! =)
has some eeriness to it and i like the texture of it.

By the Axe: i like the part at 1:30 . it reminds me of Diablo. =)
hm overall i find it a bit repetitive.
Especially since you mentioned "cinematic" i thought it would be less predictable and hard to follow.
(which i find makes movie soundtracks sometimes hard to listen to on their own cause they move to quickly with the image)
and i think the overall balance of all the instruments is nice and they work well together. =)
(now that i listen to it again i especially like the beginning i think)

Hehe, well, half a track is useful if you know someone making half a game or something ..I think there are many in here actually

Jokes aside..

Thanks Calined.

Worth to add; It makes sense to lower the dynamics and sparks in soundtracks, unless you're trying to steal the focus from the game or movie. It's half the art if you ask me, to limit yourself, it's easy to flow in all sorts of directions. You know what I mean. Balance for the purpose

[Calined]

@2mass well half a game is already something~ ^^ 
oh yeah, i know what you mean. i don't have experience with more serious films yet (or subtle) but only some animationprojects where my soundtrack almost serves as a sfx track, a bit cartoony, you know, helps to emphasize, but also a bit much at times.
i think there are also different approaches. =) (they all have certain moods or benefits i guess)

[2mass]

Sure thing, Calined. Agreed

I love cartoonish music, haven't been all able to make much more than a few cirkus music inspired tracks myself tho, but I guess I haven't had much opportunity to try either  Can we hear some of this?

[2mass]

I made a... track... this morning. Staccato, legato, like steam firecrackers, up and down the fairground..

[TonyManfredonia]

Hello, everyone! I haven't been on this thread in a while. Everyone's making such awesome stuff. Love the differences in style, too.

I recently revamped the Title Screen for Super Toaster X to reflect its Japanese Education based combat system. Check it out here at this link!

Also, I played Omnisphere Roulette, established by the well-known Sean Beeson. The rules are simple. Load 8 random patches in Omnisphere and make a ~30-second track using those 8. I guess you could do this with any VST, but Omnisphere is great for it given its variety. Listen to my "roulette" here!

P.S. - The Roulette I made is under the Creative Commons license (since I made it purely for fun), so feel free to download it and use it as you see fit

So much good stuff here! I'm trying to get into making chiptune-esque music. Here's something, perhaps, for a spot of spelunking:

I did this cover today of one of the tracks in Age of Empires 1. It was super fun to make!

Nice chiptunes guys. I especially like your AoE cover, Elias. But you're all quite good at chiptunes.

Enough woodwinds and hollywood strings from me for now.. Sometimes you just have to..

[DuskedSky]

All of these tracks are so awesome! They motivate me not only to make more of my own music but also to get back to programming . Also, to my surprise there are many faces here that I recognize!



My latest track (that's posted anyway)
https://soundcloud.com/kip-riusaki/wandering-lights

I've been trying to improve my mastering skills (cause they suck) for the music I'm working on for my upcoming Mother 3-esque RPG. I want the music to be very different from what the genre is usually associated with. This isn't one of the official tracks though (well at least not currently).

This one is on the older side. I made it for my previous project Hidden Land: The Lost Village.

The game is based on real time and this is the 4AM theme!

Very nice. I know this thread is for our own music. But hey, I instantly thought of this guy when I heard your tracks..

https://soundcloud.com/uberlab/evil-engine-no-nein

You carry some of the same mood or sound or something. UberLab is one of my musical heroes, so you can take that as a huge kudos! I know I would

[Calined]

Can we hear some of this?

sure! =D

The latest score, where it was a bit less cartoony:




The score before that, where it was more cartoony:

[2mass]

Very nice, Calined. Your music is a huge driver in these cartoons, making what you wrote earlier much more clear now - in this soundwise context. You create/carry/paint a large portion of the stories with your music and it all breaks down to something very professional for these purposes

My tracks come off as a great deal more static, even when I try to do something like that. Then it sounds more like a progressive piece of whatever, where the styles and moods shift progressively, but not nearly as connected as in your soundtracks. Again, very nice. I hope you land some good jobs!
