Music for Homebrew Games

aced411 · Post by **aced411** » Sat Jul 05, 2003 3:28 am

I've started a music project to enhance dreamcast homebrew (and who knows, maybe more someday). I will have some kind site up in about a week with info and downloadable music. My objective is to "professionalize" the audio of homebrew games. Some killer soundtracks already exist of course, such as dreamsnes, and FoF. I offer this music free and only ask for credit in the game somewhere. It's ambient electronic oriented. If anybody wants to hear a track before I get the site up, give me your email or a way to send you an mp3. Thank you

Cool deal! Anything to enhance the DC scene should be widely appreciated! (I mean, I think it's great now, but anyone willing to contribute will only make it even better!) Good luck with your site (and your music in general)!

Just what the coders around here need. Since most of us suck at music (and graphics for that matter), especially me.

I'll let you know if I have a job for you anytime soon.

We have way too many stickies already, but it wouldn't be right to leave this as it is. Topic stickified. And good luck with your project.

Here is the temporary webpage for my project! (i'll use it for a month or so until I establish something more permanent). Check it out! It containes 3 songs, some handy wallpaper and well, not much more. Oh yeah, you can contact me through the site as well.

I've been tempted to un-sticky most of them and link to them all in one big stickied topic, but then nobody would be able to immediatly see all those important topics when they entered the forum, defeating the whole purpose of stickies.

that's very true.

You could move this over to the homebrew games forum?

Well, this new web address will do for now. Sorry for the few ad banners....just close them out and say no to any prompts. Here is the address: http://listen.to/rebuild

FYI. The other lame address still works, and it has no banners

I'm working on a new track so stay tuned. It may be posted within a few days if it goes well, or a week if I'm not satisfied.

Hehe,nice to see more DC Homebrew music artists specialized in various music genres...ambient,you say?

Hmmmm...Let's see what you're capable of...
...Downloading the songs...

BTW,my(Synth Dynamics') FTP is full of new demonstration tracks from the latest production.

The tracks for the DCRPG Project are all completed now.
They just need some mixing and additional sound enhancement and the complete soundtrack is ready.(in just a month,duh!)

15 complete tracks for the DCRPG Project.Now just the graphic artists and the programmers to resume the project,and it smells like another high-quality project other than Feet Of Fury.

Hey I'm curious to hear your stuff. Can I get that ftp?

aced411 · Post by **aced411** » Sun Jul 13, 2003 8:56 am

Ok last web address for a long time I promise. This will be it for getting tracks and everything. http://rebuild.iuma.com

What quality are your MP3s?
Make 'em at 192 kbps. That's the best compromise between quality and filesize.
Lower than that sux,especially if you listen through quality headphones,as I do.

Just PM me and I'll send you my exclusive demo MP3s you won't find even on the FTP

aced411 · Post by **aced411** » Sun Jul 13, 2003 7:51 pm

No there 128 but they sound fine if you use a decent encoder. Only a dog can tell the difference between my 128 mp3 and the original

No seriously if anyone wanted better quality I would be happy to re-encode the originals and send them.

I can usually tell the difference between a 128Kbps MP3 and the original, uncompressed version.

nakamichi · Post by **nakamichi** » Mon Jul 14, 2003 1:28 pm

hahahahaha....
I can hear a difference between 256kbps and the uncompressed 1411kbps CDDA as well,but 128 really sounds too tinny for me.
See,even Black Aura can tell the difference.(the sound is A LOT LESS dynamic: weak bass,weak highs and tinny "quality")

Just stick to 192kbps (at least)
But if you want best quality,don't make them at maximum 320, 256 is more than enough.
(just no VBR MP3s please)
