Now that I've listened to it, I'll agree with everyone here: your first was better, but this still has it's good points. The choir at the beginning felt slightly off, just because they didn't flow right into the music (starting abruptly), and the Manticore-Herc chase music was a little off, along with the drums. Still, it was amazingly well-done.

One question, is it me, or if you watch the FS2 Intro movie enough does the [v] guy look like Elvis?

The V guy is perfect for that cutscene.

Ok, this is what I've done so far, it isn't finished, theres still another layer of strings etc to add, and please please don't tell me the ending is too abrupt, I haven't done that bit yet

I've at least managed to get the timing for the middle section, and changed sections here and there so they are more to how I would have chosen to do it

I'll add another layer to this during the week, to fill out the more 'empty' sections, and add the ending next weekend

It's missing something...did you compose this with a keyboard, or in a MIDI program, like MODtracker?

I kind of liked the old version better, but I overwrote it with this one, so I can't compare 'em.

[Flipside]

It was done on Midi synths, but I can see hear the bits here is sounds modded, it is partly the compresion, and partly the fact that Sample synths aren't actually all that dissimiliar to a kind of Mod-Tracker for non masochists

It's still got another layer to go, and this ones getting a tough audience, bit I'll see how it sounds by next week

When I read "polyphonics" I thought it would be a polyphonic cell phone ringtone. That would be neat.

[Jetmech Jr.]

I LOVE it. Although, admittedly, it begins a tad slowly.

Ahh, that could explain it. It might be that you're adhering too well to the tempo. Or maybe it's just that it's a little slow. It doesn't seem to be quite as in-your-face as the original intro.

For the record, Freespace choir voices came from Spectrasonics Symphony of Voices.

It's incredibly cool, I have it, it's so much fun to scan through all the samples and think "Hey I know that sample from Freespace!" I suppose the fact that I "choir-along" with FS2 music helps me recognise them..

Anyway, yeah, no FS choir sounds came from synths. The Spectrasonics sample cds are real voices from real choirs.

The website for the sample CD is here: http://www.spectrasonics.net/libraries/symphonyvoices.php

It's more laziness on my part to be honest, I have a pretty good collection of choir samples, but I'd have to tweak and adjust them etc etc to make them the right length, change at the right places etc. Many frustrating hours on Soundforge and Acid, but I may give it a go anyway

[Flipside]

Ok, this is my final attempt for now, tempo has been upped, second layer added, as well as an ending that's as close to the original timing as you're going to get

I'm going to go back to doing Modelling soon I think, the music phase is over for a couple o' weeks

[Col. Fishguts]

me likes...a lot

[karajorma]

Definately the best version you've done so far

[Goober5000]

[WMCoolmon]

Much, MUCH better than the last one.

Two thumbs up.

[Flipside]

Thanks! Glad you like

Well, I'm doing the TVWP sound stuff, or would be if I wasn't doing this, but then, I would be doing TI modelling if I wasn't doing that... Life as a modder is such fun But If the SCP Video thingy ever gets underway, drop me a line, I'd love to have a crack at something that isn't so 'conforming' to the original

[Mongoose]

That's almost dead-on.

[Cobra]

AWESOME! 2 thumbs up! but i kinda miss the choir part.

[Cobra]

Oh yeah, can you put it up for a download? i gotta put this on CD.

[Mongoose]

Wha? It's right up there, Cobra...
