Title: Music: Nerdgasm Title
Post by: blackhole on May 03, 2008, 03:55:55 am
I did 2 things with this. First, i tried out my new orchestra samples, so I really don't know what I'm doing in terms of orchestral arrangements <_<, and secondly I "properly" mixed and mastered the track.

Nerdgasm Title (http://www.ericmhobbs.com/Blackhole/music/none/Nerdgasm_Title.mp3)

I can also make it loop as an OGG.

EDIT: If the bass is messed up I'll fix it tomarrow. I made the whole thing on headphones and its 2 AM right now, so I can't tell xP

Thanks! I just remastered it a little and reuploaded (its a very subtle change, you probably won't notice).

You don't owe me anything! :D

do you keep all of your music? if you do you should release a "music Pack", so that people making open source video games con use some of the songs.

This is the first one of your tracks that I've really liked (nothing personal -- the others just weren't my style). It seemed to lose its way a bit in the middle, but the opening and closing were strong.

Good work!

a looping .ogg would be appreciated

once again, thanks a lot!

Thanks!

I keep all songs on my website, and those that I rip off usually get sent to the archives. Everything is usable for non-commercial stuff, and making a music pack would be pretty difficult as people tend to choose songs for their games that I never would have :P [linky] (http://www.ericmhobbs.com/Blackhole/music.php)

I'll PM you a looping version once I get it done.

This is thus far my favorite track from you, Blackhole.  Very strongly portrays that epic Freespace/BSG atmosphere. :) :yes:

Ooooohhh, I can think of a dozen great uses for this already...

Seriously, Blackhole, I think this may be your best one yet! I am impressed. :cool: :yes:

Bah, fine :P

It doesn't seem to loop quite right when I play it in XMplay, but I don't know how to fix it or if I need to. I'm glad you like it though! :D

I'd say the closest to FS, many of his songs are better than this one under certains points of view :nod:

Now that is a battle theme.

Awesome work! :yes:

No, this isn't his best song yet :D

I still think freedom of the cosmos is better. That's my all time fav.

I was able to loop the nerdgasm song anyway without blackhole's edit by adding a 5 second crossfade between the start and the end. It worked surprisingly well for me.

Now that is a battle theme.

Don't know about a battle theme. Seems too slow. I thought it more appropriate for a foreboding, ominous theme... like when a powerful enemy appears, or when heading toward that conflict.

It just seems like a perfect theme song for me. And IDEAL for menu music.

I didn't really make it as battle music, its designed to be menu music :P I'm glad you like it! :D

Battle theme? :wtf:

Tell me why it's called "Nerdgasm - Title", then :P
