JafarConfrontation is the boss battle music from my VG soundtrack project.
JafarWIP is the main character theme from my VG soundtrack project.
MetalWIP is the folk metal piece I'm in the early stages of writing.
ShockChords is a special purpose chord progression I made big_smile

Finale renders quietly, so turn your volume up.

Sounds like an excellent proposition to me... Might go far to join us in IRC, Jafar.

Sure thing. The fsmod.com/irc thing, right? Or somewhere else?

A few of us in the testing/dev team have been looking around for people to possibly think about getting to do some more music for us, like the old guy we had who did all the FS Loading screen music.

I'm studying music composition at college, and I've been working on writing music for a hypothetical video game soundtrack as a personal project. Perhaps I could write up and chip in some loading screen pieces for you guys to consider?

Well Pro Scores isn't a program mind you.  It's a whole directory of cut, digitally produced, extremely high quality music scores.  And all the pieces come also as divided tracks of the music where you can get the percussion on separate tracks.

Never heard of it, but I like Jamendo, myself. Thousands of tracks of just about every genre, all completely free. Tryad is worth a try

That sounds cool, do they have high quality music? In production we would need .AIFF or .WAV formats. I'll look into that, thanks!

I just bought Video Copilot's Pro Scores, at $95 it's a steal, and man, wow if you guys can put that kind of music into your promos, they would take off!

In fairness, that video was made in a very short time.  Something like 2 or 3 days, we needed a "dramatic" song, and needed it fast.  That was what we got.

I did the download version of this.  I've been buying VideoCopilot stuff for a number of years now.

You can't beat it.

Kramer just blows everyone away with his gift of generosity in keeping tutorials free and offering affordable packages that even exceed some other corporate media.

Just take a look at VC's blog - you'll find guys there that are game developers as well as video effects experts, just dying for VC's next tutorial. 

I've been a fan of Kramer since he was at Creative Cow - another place I hang all the time.

One thing I learned from Andrew on music - make the music fit with the theme of your game or promotional video. 

I'd advise the developers at FS to get onboard at VideoCopilot, because you guys are making, perhaps the best mod for Battlefield that I've ever seen, and it's worthwhile mod and you deserve the best of the best - and my advise is to keep up to date with VideoCopilot.

Happy New Year to you guys! Love what you do! keep it up!

lol buying digital media.

I work in video production, we buy digital media all the time, many productions do.

Video Copilot isn't a program.  Andrew Kramer who is a visual effects expert helps a lot of people with their video production by providing very affordable media.  Most media houses charge thousands of dollars for music and stock footage. Andrew Kramer's VC is the bomb!

Not only does he and his team provide very affordable packages but they offer tons of free tutorials. Specifically with 2D and 3D work.

Omen as trailer director = Eerie or sad music. Get used to it .

Seriously, though, I personally love trailers like that, as did several other people. 'Every' mod uses action-packed 'Hollywood'-style trailers these days, and a different approach might just capture people who'd otherwise go "oh, just another SW mod trailer" and shrug it off.
