I've been pouring a lot of effort into my game's soundtrack over the last year, but very few people have heard any of it. Big Friggin' Magical Adventure's music is geared to match the cute and whimsical style I'm going for, and I want to make sure they suit it. Most of these songs have been developing in my head for decades, since I was forced into music lessons as a kid - nice to finally get them made! These were all made in LMMS - please don't use any of these for a project, they are meant for my game only - I'm just hoping to get some feedback!

So, here are forty songs from the WIP OST, which is probably only half the soundtrack but the important ones are ready. These are the unmastered versions, and anything can still be tweaked; speed, instruments, melody, or whatever. If anyone wants to comment on the songs, how suited they sound to their descriptions and such, or point out if something could sound better, then I'd be much obliged! Or just have a listen and see what you think.

Links to each song on my above their descriptions, best open them in a new tab, and I'll put them in spoilers since there's so many.

 

 

Main Themes

Spoiler

 

I figured a silly march would do. The first couple lines are supposed to be singing the game's name.

 

This plays as you are choosing your character's gender, race, and style. Might be used in other spots too.

 

I thought a cool, jazzy theme would go well with this world's map. There's nine versions of this song, since each province is a separate map - this one is for the royal province in the centre, which you'll visit the most.

 

A humble shack is given to you early on, and has dozens of upgrades. This song sounds boring to me, but perhaps that's best. I'll probably make remixes of it to go with the upgrades.

 

Your standard random battles, intense but not too threatening.

 

The player starts here as a student, and a simple errand kicks off the first quest. The school and its NPCs feature heavily in the third questline as well.

 

For games like vege picking and horseback riding. It's a remix of "The Happy Farmer", from an 1848 album of childrens' music.

 

For the carnival minigames, which you can have a look on YouTube HERE

 

 

Familiars

Spoiler

 

Familiars are animal spirits that you summon to create your party - ten altogether. They are rambunctious and not well understood - always cheerful and playful, but often dangerous. Lost familiars are hiding in the world map and dungeons, defeating (desummoning) them yields a lot of EXP and a special gift for sending them home.

 

Located in the town of Bogside, this is where you summon, practice, and learn about familiars. It's always understaffed and in a humourous state of chaos.

 

The battle music when you find one in the wild. It's meant to have a slightly sad element in the bridge, as these monsters just want you to win so they can go home - if they deal a fatal blow, they do a heal & run (they cannot kill unless the person who summoned them commands it). So you can't get a game over on these battles, but will lose the EXP and gift. It's one of my favourites of the soundtrack so far.

 

For battling one of the three larger familiars - for instance, the sea serpent, which serves as a chapter boss in questline I (and a boat once you can summon them!)

 

 

Towns

Spoiler

 

The town nearest your starting point, full of busy and nosy people.

 

Small town on a creek, near swampland. A pair of elderly NPCs that help you with quests I & II reside here, but they are bickering neighbours who fight over what you ought to focus on.

 

A logging camp in the woods that grew into a small town, with a bit of a criminal element. Pineshade is out of the way, and an excellent place to hide.

 

Nestled in a crater left by a volcanic eruption, people from all over the kingdom travel here for training to become soldiers, mages, and mercenaries. It's a softer, shorter remix of an associated song below, the Way of Might and Magic.

 

A slow, country arrangement of Offenbach's "Galop Infernal", better known as the "Can-Can". One of a handful of classical songs I'm remaking for the game.

 

The largest city, with a carnival full of minigames and several unique shops. Lots of quests take you here, and there's plenty to find if you look around. The city is more crowed and colourful than usual, since the game takes place during an annual festival.

 

A casual district attached to the city, made up of a school, gardens, and magic shops that aren't so welcome inside the walls.

 

Sandhaven is a war-torn, Egyptian style fortress, which in recent times has been converted into a getaway resort. It is also the only place you can gamble and buy certain items.

 

 

Loot Dungeons

Spoiler

 

These are the various dungeon songs, specifically the versions used for questline IV's 50 "loot dungeons". The different being these have intros, bridges, more instruments, etc.

 

A blimp belonging to the group putting on this tournament. You can return here to check stats, buy resources, etc.

 

Toward the end, when the true plot is revealed, the airship engine room becomes dungeon #50, a dangerous obstacle course. You can watch it HERE

 

 

Gotta have your slow, mysterious cave music. There's three remixes of this, for ice & lava caves, and mines.

 

General bright, outdoor areas like cliffsides and the royal hedge maze. Wanted something jazzy to go with the colourful look.

 

Deep but not dark wooded areas, beaches, oceanside cliffs, etc.

 

Dungeons in warehouses, a sewer, abandoned prison, etc. Any that you enter from within a town.

 

Remix of the in-town music, this is for places like the railway depots, or climbing structural towers.

 

Used in haunted forests, graveyards, etc.

 

 

Questline I: Fate of the Future

Spoiler

 

All about stopping the energetic chaos destroying the world, and replacing the dead guardian entity.

 

Central hub of the city, containing all the kingdom's knowledge, and the receiver for the world's magic.

 

This plays when solving puzzles in the guardhouses, and cutscenes involving soldiers or the royal family.

 

When soldiers challenge you to a battle, either as part of the main quest, or as punishment for a crime. Like battles with familiars, guards are not allowed to kill you. Losing means getting a mild health potion, along with laugher and your consequences.

 

Quineline I's chapter bosses are typically statues or machines that have come to life and are looking to exterminate you for digging too deep.

 

A two-section, mountain-climbing course that takes up chapter five, making you earn the respect and authority needed for the rest of the questline.

 

In the final chapter, the city's beloved clocktower is transformed into a chaotic mess of floating platforms and traps. This song has three parts, for the three increasingly harder sections of this massive dungeon, but they're mashed together in this file. You can see the beta version of this dungeon HERE

 

 

Questline II: Unnatural Horrors

Spoiler

 

This line has you confronting eight monsters from the past, in their Zelda-inspired dungeons.

 

Slower, puzzle-heavy dungeons, with a lot of keys and locked doors, and a dark, creepy vibe. The boss(es) will also taunt you with a few cutscenes and a minigame as you progress.

 

The chapter bosses are alchemical monsters mixing various animals, and all have combat or defense gimmicks that differ from any other battles, like playing 3-way rock, paper, scissors with elemental magic, for one.

 

 

Questline III: Who Holds the Power

Spoiler

 

The Scarlet Coven is a group of corrupt mages who are secretly mining the kingdom's magical resources, and working on a scheme to eliminate all magic users but themselves, and monopolize it. This questline is much heavier on story and characters than the rest.  You can watch a WIP of the first chapter HERE

 

Plays during cutscenes, chapter intros, and before bosses. The second verse has a better beat (like most song, it'll loop from there)

 

The coven's encampments, mines, and castle that serve as chapter dungeons.

 

A few of these dungeons have timed events, chase or escape sequences, and this song plays for those.

 

Mid chapter bosses are the coven's generals, a team of sentient robes and armour. They appear to be a mix between a robot and ghost.

 

Music for the end chapter bosses, in each case the group of mage NPCs you've been sabotaging and harassing throughout the chapter. They pull out their best spells, and summon their familiars, since they're enraged by then and just want you dead. So this boss music should be more epic and threatening than the others.

 

 

Whew! OK, so that's most of what I've done so far. Thank you so much to anyone that took the time to listen, and any kind of feedback is welcome!

]]>42705Sun, 29 Nov 2020 20:05:09 +0000Music Software Toolshttps://www.rpgmakercentral.com/topic/15261-music-software-tools/Music Software Tools

Something I've not actually written up about yet is tools that are useful for you to use when writing and creating music for RPG Maker. Some of these pieces of software are free other aren't. If you have any other useful stuff that you'd suggest any budding musician to use than reply below and I'll add them on

 

DAW: Digital Audio Workstations

 

DAW's is the MUST HAVE software for musicians. If you are wanting to take Music Production seriously then you need to invest/use one of these babies, with it you can create almost ANYTHING that your heart can have. 

 

Avid ProTools: 

Description: An Expensive Audio Production Center for Windows and Mac. I will openly admit knowing FA about 

Price: Â£550.80+

 

Cubase

Description: A industry Standard DAW for Mac and Windows Only  however, due to this is rather pricy...

Price:  Â£244

 

Apple Logic Pro: 

Description: The MOTHER of all DAW's only available for mac sadly, I personally don't like it as much, but it's what most modern day producers use. 

Price: $199.99+

 

FL Studio

Description: A DAW that I know a little about, and is actually used by quite a few of the other RPG Maker Musicians! 

Price: From $99- $299 (Not including VAT) 

 

Sonar X3: 

Description: Another DAW in the countless end of DAW studio, is good for a medium sized budget, has a larger feature set than Reaper and LMMS and is what I currently am using now. Comes in three different flavours: Standard, Studio and Producer, each offers more effects/instruments etc for use in your tracks.  You can also get it on Steam...if that floats your boat :D

Price: From £119-499 (direct from Cakewalk)

 

LMMS

Description: A freeware DAW designed for simple day to day use with VST Instrument support available on ALL platforms :)

Price: Free

 

Reaper: 

Description: A GREAT value for money piece of software that is as quality as EVERY OTHER SINGLE DAW but is at a fraction of a price. You can download a DRM free trial version, (you are asked to purchase a licence after 60 days though)

Price: Personal/Small Business Licence: $60,Large Business Licence: $225

 

Propellerhead's Reason:

Desciption: I once again no very little about this software, it's not bad, but for me abit restricive, and the price tag is pretty high :) but provides a good amount of "Rack's" which have instruments bundled in on them. Not bad DAW. 

Price:  $400

 

Finale Notepad

Description: Powerful notation software that will, essentially, get your ideas onto actual sheet music that you can print out. The samples that come with it aren't the best, but I find it can be more useful than a DAW at times.

Price: Free (there are paid options available if you need more powerful features! 

 

 

VST's (Virtual Studio Technology) Instruments and Sample Libraries 

 

Once you've finally got yourself one of the DAW's up there you'll have access to a wide variety of expensive and not so expensive VST Plugins. These work alongside your DAW's and are key for Music Production. Most DAW's come with their own VST instruments and samples but these give you more alternative choices. 

 

DSKMusic

I love their series, and without them I wouldn't be able to have got this far, all of their VST instruments are FREE for commercial and Non Commercial use, and some of my earlier pieces used all of DSK instruments, you can get everything from Piano's to Choirs and then to Classical Guitars and even Sitar and Tablas. 

Price: FREE!

 

Cakewalk Dimension Pro

 

Description: A recent, accidental purchase of mine, and I really don't regret it. Over 3.5GB of instruments are located in this beautiful VST. Everything from Ghost Pianos to full Orchestral Ensembles. I don't normally sing the praises of more expensive VST's but this is BRILLIANT value for money, and it actually comes with three free expansion packs! I wasn't complaining that's for sure. 

Price: Â£69.00

 

EWQL

Description: Oh holy hell. this is the BEST of the best, It is used by the best Music Producers in the industry, If you can afford it. GET IT. It's ridiculously HQ and sounds EPIC. 

Price: $199+ (that is it in it's current sale price -_-) 

 

LA Scoring Strings

Description: Another one of the beautiful string libraries out there, it's also quite pricey too, if you afford it it's another one you could get :D

Price: $999.00

 

Vienna Symphonic Library

Description: Another library that is similar to EWQL, but is argued to be better uses Kontakt as well. 

Price: Varies 

 

SSO

Description: Is EWQL too expensive for you? Then this sample library is beautiful enough to create some pretty damn good music with, i use it myself and it can sound amazing! 

Price: Free

 

Kontakt 5

Description: Kontakt 5 is a VST that is, for the most part, extremely powerful in its versatility. It offers several articulations for a wide variety of instruments and styles, ranging from orchestral to band to full-blown choirs. One of the biggest issues I have with it is its...

Price: $399. I have purchased this myself :D Also, there are discounts available for you if you purchase a Kontakt Player instrument :)

 

LUMINA

A sample library from Project Sam in their Symphobia series.  I cannot say enough good things about this library, the newest in my collection.  The expressive possibilities, the articulations...it's all first rate.  This library is particularly suited for writing fantasy type game music.  You've got pretty much everything you'll need for that in one library! 

Price: $699 (Current Price direct from ProjectSam)

 

8dio

 

Description: They have everything you could think of in their beautiful VERY detailed libraries. However personally, they're useful once you've got the basics cause they really are very detailed and useful in certain situations unlike things like Kontakt, EWQL and others. 

Price: Various 

 

Orangetree

Description: Value for money, but beautifully sampled instruments, I love their Angelic Harp!

Price: Various :) 

SYNTHESIZERS:

 

Massive

Pretty much everyone's favourite commercial synth, this baby has three oscillators, two multimode filters, mappable modulations and various modulation types (from envelopes to LFOs to direct control via MIDI CC or velocity, or even macros within the VST). It can make some great leads, basses, and everything in-between, but its interface is not very beginner-friendly despite how sleek it is. Oh, and it has some nice in-built effects, though the EQ is kind of crap because it only has 3 bands and you can't control where they lay and what their width is.

Price: $199, but you save a lot of money getting it in Komplete, which I recommend doing as I believe this synth is a tad overpriced compared to some other offerings which have similar capabilities.

 

FM8

An FM synth with a lot of character, it has 6 normal operators, a filter, and a noise generator. Loads of other parameters and built-in effects make up the rest of this almost modular synth but it is NOT beginner-friendly AT ALL. However, once you learn how to use it, you'll be making everything from classic PC-8801 sounds to modern dance basses or chord pads. A lot of people dig this synth and I love it too, but it takes a while to learn how to use it, and even veterans will have to put up with a little bit of a learning curve. It comes with an insert effect version that you can use to process other sounds, but I don't really use that.

Price: $199, but I believe it comes with Komplete so you'll save money just getting that bundle to get these synths, Kontakt, and the next entry in this list.

 

Reaktor 5

Not really a synth so much as a somewhat simplified software synth development tool and runtime environment. Synths made with Reaktor 5 can only be used by other users with Reaktor 5, and making your own synth is a bit of a challenge. Fortunately, Reaktor 5 comes with a decent lineup of great user-made synths and Lazerbass, which is fantastic. Some of NI's other synths require Reaktor, or come with an install of the free Reaktor 5 player, which allows you to play Reaktor synths but not modify them or make your own.

Price: $399. Get Komplete instead and save the money, because in my opinion this VST is only really worth it for a few of the synths that come with it (particularly Lazerbass) but they don't add up in value to $400 for me personally. So getting it in a bundle with a bunch of other stuff would be a better idea.

 

Absynth 5

A semi-modular synth I haven't used much. Has some nice in-built effects and comes with an insert effect version you can drop into your mixer, but I don't really use that. Has some great presets and a soft, configurable randomizer you can use to give yourself a slightly weirder variant of any sound you pick or make yourself.

Price: $199. Get this with Komplete.

 

Z3ta+ 2

A hell of a powerful synth with 6 oscillators, two multimode filters, loads of mappable envelopes and LFOs, waveshaping, built-in effects, a huge modulation matrix that allows you to map envelopes, LFOs, MIDI controls, and more to either parameters or functions in varying ranges, and visual representations of just about every main part of the synth. The GUI is great, the presets are good, and there's so many options that you can make pretty much any sound you can think of. There's loads of included waveforms and you can even use your own! This is my personal choice for a commercial synth—there's so much you can do with it you'll be able to use this baby in most situations. Oh, and the built-in EQ is actually very good, as it shows you at least which frequency band you're affecting and it has multiple modes.

Price: $99. A pittance compared to other commercial virtual synths, and for how much it does it is very cheap.

 

DRUM SAMPLERS:

 

Battery 4

A very good drum sampler which has built-in effects and an internal mixer. You can map drums to external outs as well if you'd rather mix them in your DAW instead. The included kits are varied and extensive, and mapping is very simple and logical. The interface is also very intuitive. It's my personal choice for a drum sampler, but it's probably because I've only used FPC and Drumaxx before and am not a fan of those as compared to this.

Price: $199. In my opinion, worth it on its own but if you want to get other NI stuff, get it in Komplete.

 

Geist

Looks good, though I don't have experience with this one. A bit flashy for my tastes and a little pricey, but it does have time manipulation effects, envelopes, multi-output internal mixer buses, and a sample browser... much like Battery.

Price: $249

 

FREEBIES:

 

Synth1

I haven't used it before but I've heard good things and pretty much everyone loves it. For a free synth (or for a synth in general) it's quite powerful, and includes a few mappable LFOs as well. The GUI is cluttered and dated, though.

 

Crystal

The other free synth by which all free synths are measured. This thing is... really complicated. However, if you can master it, it's very good for making all kinds of noises, right up to absynth-style soundscapes. This is because it includes built-in effects and practically anything can be modulated, directly from the synth itself. The GUI is not the best, but it's intuitive enough and things are organized into tabs and the like. You could say this is like Absynth's free (possibly older? No idea) cousin, and it's certainly as capable. You might like it more!

I've not been present here in some time, but now that I am back in some capacity, I've decided to share some of my music, as musical composition is indeed one of the skills that I have under my wing. I am going to start by sharing two songs for an upcoming game that I am working on. At a later point, I will likely share more!
 

Welcome to Cuvier:
This is the theme song of the first town/stage, Cuvier. I used the Donkey Kong Country soundfont as well as some recordings of my voice.

To give some backstory, the episode featuring that song is about ponies learning about their parents' and the feud between families.
🍎Apple and 🍐Pear families were constantly at odds with each other over who were the better farmers. The only two members of each family to get along were Pear Butter of the 🍐Pears and Bright Mac of the 🍎Apples. Despite the heated rivalry between their families, their childhood friendship eventually blossomed into a beautiful romance, unaccepted by any of the families. This led to some dramatic choices...

 

So in short, it's kiiinda like Romeo and Juliet.

 

I have to admit, that it sounds rather cliche, but I really liked that episode, which motivated me to do something productive, so here it is, my 8-bit version of the song, made in FamiTracker. 👍

Hello~ I'm Ruedefaux. Primarily I'm an illustrator, but for the past few years I've been experimenting with music making under the name Lolistomp. I'm not too used to sharing my music so openly since it's just something fun I do at the moment, but why not?

 

Currently I make theme songs and such for my own characters as it helps me with ideation process when I draw and/or write stories, and sometimes I make songs with the intention of possibly using them for future projects when I learn the fundamentals.

 

I'm heavily inspired by the hardcore genre, Gabber, along with retro game music-- so my stuff tends to lean towards the noisy and repetitive side for the most (definitely not within everyone's tastes LOL but that's okay with me). Sometimes I experiment loosely with other genres as well.

 

Here's a few of my favourites so far:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: huh... probably shouldve considered the order I listed these songs due to their images, but I'm too amused to switch around the last two... :')

My name is Gabriel Wagner and I'm a composer, sound engineer and vocalist.
I'm looking for game project in RPG/Action genres.

I write music in the style of Jeremy Soule (Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind and other): atmospheric, magical, perfectly fit in the adventures, buttles, fantasy stories or horrors.


I specialize in music for games in RPG/Action genres and always try to create an atmosphere that perfectly convey the game mood and generates new emotions. I try to make music unforgettable.

A lot of attention to harmony and details helps to move us to other places, into magical worlds. My work was strongly influenced by classical music (especially orchestral and choral music).
I have a great experience of stage performances and work with many musicians.
