Title: FS Lo-poly music
Post by: WMCoolmon on March 25, 2005, 06:33:07 pm: :D

http://fs2source.warpcore.org/temp/lowpoly.ogg

It's in OGG format as I tried MP3 and it ruined the effect (not to mention was 400 k larger) :ick:

This is the music your grandparents played FS to. :D

Post by: WMCoolmon on March 25, 2005, 06:58:44 pm: High-quality version (http://fs2source.warpcore.org/temp/hipoly.ogg)
Original-quality version (http://fs2source.warpcore.org/temp/origpoly.ogg)

While I was uploading the low-poly version, I fooled around some more and made an attempt at improving on the original FS1 music.

All the samples used the same recording/conversion method to get 'em to OGG.

Edit: fixed link

*disagrees*

FS music sounds so...bleepy and generic...after listening to Fs2 music. Especially the Leviticus track. Love it.

Eh... I found the FS2 music much more memorable, though I do think FS1 is one of the better game soundtracks. After playing A Lion at the Door, I frequently found myself humming Numbers. And Joshua in particular is one of my favourite tracks from any game. I thought all the vocal stuff was awesome.

Find something that plays OGG. WinAmp and Quintessential Player are good.

Disagree. Frankly I think about half of it is pretty plain, and while the other half is quite good for game music, it never really stuck with me.

Dude, try searching. The first result, on either Google search, gives you what you want.

I thought it was cheap, but oh well. Both games have got a couple of wonderful tracks IMO, though I do slightly favor the original game.

Post by: Blitzerland on March 26, 2005, 10:36:05 am: It's better than the hokey techno-fest of Fs1. And the mere sound of the cheap vocals horrificly maimed one of my cats.

We here, at House Blitzerwhatever, greatly prefer the music and audio of Fs2.

Post by: Nix on March 26, 2005, 11:03:33 pm: Someone posted on here before something to the effect of FS2's music = space whale music or something. I've always preferred the original FS1 tracks over most of FS2's. FS2's music is still pretty good. my fav from that is probably Numbers. The music when you're in the SOC mission and everyone turns against you, now that was something that stuck with me.

Post by: IceFire on March 27, 2005, 12:29:53 am: I always thought FS2 sound and music was better than the original hands down. But FS1 had a certain flair to it as well.

Post by: Ransom on March 27, 2005, 01:04:03 am: Can't remember who it was, but I remember someone describing it as FS1's music being action space sim music, and FS2's being that for an epic space opera. Which is a reasonably accurate description I think.
