Flipside Vs The Freespace Theme....
on: February 06, 2005, 06:07:07 pm
Well, I've been working on music for the TVWP, and partly to help me come up with ideas and partly to get the damn FS2 theme out of my head, I finally decided to write something inspired by the FS Video music.

It's not identical, it's my own version, some of it is almost the same, other parts vastly different, and so far I've only got up to about halfway through the video, either way, I like the way things are going, so I thought I'd share with you ;)

You'll need something that can play .ogg files, obviously ;)

The change at the end just after the electric guitars is a bit too sudden for my liking but apart from that :yes:  :yes:  :yes:  :yes:  :yes:

Glad you like :) The tune will carry on from that ending, I'll add an arpeggio that should lead down to the ending properly once I've figured out how to do my own version of the first part of the monologue music ;)

This may mean learning how to use a step-filter :nervous:

That's done using Cubase, and mostly the Edirol Orchestral Softsynth. Though there is some work with the Strat, obviously, and NI Battery for the Drums :)

The only actual instruments I have access to atm are the guitar and a dumb Midi keyboard, so I have to use softsynths for everything. This piece took about 16-20 Hours in total before I was happy with it.

I've updated the file, btw, and added the arpeggio near the end. The thing is, [v] pulled a lot of tricks out the book, including mixing a 4/4 and a 3/4 melody at the same time, so let me know if this sounds better ;) It's always going to sound a little abrupt at the end, the same happens in the video, it fades to black, with those last bars and then starts a new track ;)

Any chance you could upload it as an mp3?

You know, were I not a person of a naturally sunny and optimistic outlook, I'd be narked that over 70 people have looked at this thread and only 4 have replied...:doubt:

Fortunately, I am a person of Sunny disposition, and therefore am narked because I suddenly realised the ending of the tune was a 5th below the final phrase, for those that care. For those that don't it means I did away with a lot of messiness at the end, and finished off the first half. :D

Updated.

Oh and Corsair, I'll try to get an mp3 up shortly :)

I like it. It captures the Freespace feel perfectly. :arr::yes:

Very good and in the right mood, always felt that big guitar solos didn't really suit Freespace combat.
