Pretty much all of the briefing music was good in FS2 but I still think brief4 is my favourite tune from both games. It really does give you the feeling of being up against it :)

I guess the thing is that different people like different styles of music :)

So true. I personally think FS2 has one of the best game soundtracks ever, only few titles have better (Outcast is my all time favorite :nod: ) I even have one of the FS2 battle tracks as a ring sound on my cellphone :D

I like some of the music from FS1, but I love FS2's soundtrack. I really liked the singing, unlike most here. In my opinion it gave the game a great dramatic atmosphere, and to me it sounded great. Ah well...

IMHO, the FS1 soundtrack is TEH best game soundtrack I know, I wish it would be in higher quality.  Actually, I extracted all the waves, merged them in a more or less logical manner (M1 - M9) and burned as a audio CD....it's pretty funny to show this CD to a person who doesn't know jack**** about FreeSpace and let them guess what it is :D

The FS2 soundtrack is also very good, but not even close to the FS1 one. My favourites are the briefings and the cinema2.wav.....they all build a very dense atmosphere.

I dont know, but without the freespace style music, I cant play freespace.  I can do it with other games, MMO's especially, but loading up my favorite DnB mixes just dont do it for me in Freespace 1/2.  
Soooo... how close are we to seeing FSPort SCP edition being released?  :D .....I know, wrong forum.....

Do you know any game that has Freespace(1or2)-alike music ?

Even if it's only one track.

StarCraft: Broodwar
The Protoss Theme would fit into FreeSpace

Hmm... maybe Haegemonia. Some of those tracks feel fairly FS2ish.

Oh yes, and another thing, I really liked the piano in some of the FS2 songs.

I would really like to see a StarCraft mod for FS2.

And as there are not this many ships it won't even be very hard to do.

But I can't create a single model...

And I can't create missions. Except you like to fly around and fight without any goals and scripts :lol:


But now that I think of it...
Try to imagine this:
Your are doing your mission (kick some aliens asses), and in the background... the .... StarCraft music...:wtf:

It will not fit to FS2.

I mean one specific track. From the Broodwar expansion pack, the new Protoss theme with synthie choir in the background and the main theme played with violins.
That would fit, IMHO

About the FS1 music being choppy...it was build with midi synths, not sampled instruments and obviously optimized for the 11Khz range. It could have sounded better, but I guess the size was a problem. In 22 Khz the whole music section would have been twice as large. It was back in '98, right? :)
But I also think that the FS1 tracks were better than the FS2 stuff...not from the sound, but from the composition.

About the choirs in FS2...that ain't synth choirs! These samples come from the library "Symphony Of Voices", which contains recorded samples of some london choral choir, that consists of around 80 people (if I am not mistaken here). A synth choir would come from a synthesizer and that was not happening here!

BTW, I'm currently trying to score BlOps :D (Blackwater Ops)

Have a nice day!
