Great, thank you very much!

Everything sounds very good.  You have a very good ear for the spaghetti western music we are looking for. 

The one (and only) problem I hear is the authenticity of the trumpets.  They sound really midi-ish. 

I know how hard it is to nail the trumpet sound with virtual gear.  What tools are you using?  Could different VSTI plugins maybe help your trumpets sound more authentic?

 
All of them nice but mano-a-mano is my favorite, it reminds last duel scenes in the movies.

I wonder if there is a way to loop the songs several times to make their duration about 3 minutes. Some of them are rather short. Also last time i checked music files weighs 50 Mb which is too much.
 
This music ingame would be just great!

Love how it really "hits" the right feeling :wink:

Yeah, that's the one thing that's annoying me about these songs right now.  I'm still searching for the perfect plugins.  Right now I'm running everything through Sibelius 6, which I think has VST capabilities, but I'm still learning the program.  If anyone has any suggestions or experience with really good symphonic/orchestral VST stuff, please please please let me know!

Keep posting guys, I'm having a blast with this! :grin:  And all you composers out there, get in touch with me so we can get a decent soundtrack going for the next release. :cool:

Actually, I think I can do one better for you.  We received an offer from a trumpet player's services on our external forums.  If you could upload those songs without the trumpets, we can ask him to record his trumpets in as a seperate track.  What do you think?

That would be pretty cool.  If you want him to replicate the melodies I came up with, I could send him the full version and the "karaoke" version.  Or, if you want him to just mess around and do his own thing, that works too.  I also have a little audio editing experience, so I should be able to dub his tracks back into my stuff, unless I've forgotten why I went to college.  Whatever you guys prefer.

Also, would you like me to duplicate this topic on your external forum to get more exposure?

It is better to get a separate track so that the levels can be controlled independently.  Mixing them together later is easy.

No, keep correspondence on this forum.  The external forum is now only be used for developer only discussions.
 
All the songs are really swell. I would just like things to be.......more cheap. If the guitar was an old beaten up kay, and the trumpet had dings to match, it would fit better.


Also I play the jew's harp, but I think it would be possible for me to record as I only own a reel to reel player.

Ok, sounds good.  I'll cut the trumpets out of "Back in the Saddle" and upload that and the original version to a hosting site and send you the link.  Does he need a breakdown of the chord progression or anything like that, or is he just going to figure it out by ear?

Once he has a track cut, if you need me to mix it back in let me know.  Or, if you guys have an internal audio person who can work with it, that works too.

If he can't figure it out by ear, then he probably won't be very helpful.  :wink:

Thanks for muting out the midi parts.  I'll direct his attention to those sound clips and see what happens.  Thanks!
 
Not sure what you mean by "cheap".  Have the instruments sound less... expensive? :lol:  Just kidding.  I'm assuming you mean have the sound quality of the instruments not be as in sync as the computer makes them.  Not sure if I could replicate that.  Someone with a crappy old acoustic guitar could probably get that sound with more realism.  Not sure that that kind of sound would fit a large battle though.  Might be cool for some village or town scenes as you stroll through the streets.  Probably just my personal taste coming into play.

Ya I think I agree with you there. What I mean by cheap is lo-fi. It would give the towns a great feel.

If you mean this thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRSt803o04I&feature=related, that would be pretty awesome to get a recording of. :grin:
yep that's what I mean. It was used extensively in American folk music not to mention folk music around the world. If you can get one I think it would be a great subtle addition (They were mostly used as rhythm instruments)
 
(I'm the trumpet player)

My limitations are going to be with processing (and time at the moment) I think.  I have a digital 4 track recorder that I believe I can get a decent enough recording out of.  I can do some processing with the recorder itself but have never really done much with it, I may lose some sound quality transfering from the recorder to my computer.  I could do a test recording and let you guys determine if you think the sound quality is usable or not.  Then we can go from there.

Yeah, just see what you can do and post it here.  I've sent you one of the recordings that RATMdude92 made.    Good luck, and thank you for the offer and the time you will put in. :smile:


 
Just played .8, love those tracks :smile:

Fit the time setting a lot better than the vanilla mnb tracks

the music is great, but in the mod sometimes I feel like it is a random mashup.

We really do need more specific feedback for it to be helpful. When, where, and how?
 
One battle song sounds like a rock song or a raspy acoustic and it doesn't fit.

Sorry for the interruption just saying.
