Hi, hope everyone had a good summer!

the strings have a pretty harsh attack in the begining

Unfortunately I just lost all my project files in a recent system crash and I can't go back any edit those strings anymore. Oh well. At least the mp3 is still there.

On the other hand, here's a new file.

Don Bernardo

I used a really interesting program to synthesize the vocals for the Ahemmusa poem. It still sounds pretty robot-y, we would definitely still have to find a female vocalist for this, but at least it gives you a much better idea than my flute recording did. Any thoughts? You can listen the new record...

Don Bernardo

Fixed this up a bit, tried to make the middle section blend more, changed a few instruments there, adjusted some flute volumes here and there. I'm happier with it now, at least. Let me know if there's still stuff bugging you guys about it.

Don Bernardo

I recommend Telsar be promoted for music.

Don Bernardo

The sfz. cresc. sounds pretty awesome like that. I'd say this one is good to go.

Don Bernardo

don't like Jeremy Soule I thought I was the only one! Yeah, I was hoping nobody would download this before I got a chance to update it, heheh... oh well. Just consider it a WIP for now! For that middle part I wanted to just redo one of the two flute melodies in full orchestra but it came out soundi...

Don Bernardo

Another track up. Your stuff is not boreing! Thanks so much!! :) TR may wat to have a greater distiction, perhaps Redguard towns being more jaded and alive would be more active or mroe grand musicly thant the sterile untopias of Cyrodill? Thing is, could it be replicated with a different instrument ...

Don Bernardo

Hi Telsar! I'm glad we have more and more composers now! Great battle track. I think it fits too. Definitely keep the changes you made. If I had to critique anything about it, I'd say try varying that drum a little so that every stroke isn't at the same intensity. It might make it sound more natural...

Don Bernardo

This is great! Hey what software do you use? I'm curious. Yeah, I wouldn't add anything more to it for fear of spoiling it somehow. And.... this gets my recommendation! So eventually an admin should come along and promote you, and after that go ahead and start a thread in the music section where you...

Don Bernardo

That is fast! If you're able to work fast then go for it, we'll be able to hear more of your ideas this way. I like the music-box sounding instrument in #3, I think you could take that and go somewhere with it. I like #5 a lot better though! Take that feeling and stretch it into 3 minutes and we've ...

Don Bernardo

The original plan was to script different music to play in different regions of Hammerfell, but it turned out that the Oblivion engine really has no reliable way of doing that. There's a discussion here where a guy tried to make such a script: [url]http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?...

Don Bernardo

Hi Zamboza! I just listened quickly to your dungeon tracks. They have a great sound and I think they're very fitting. The second one is especially interesting. I enjoy the drums that slowly emerge out of the background and all those weird flutes. Dungeon tracks are not actually a very high priority ...

Don Bernardo

Actually I've had the same problem, especially with the clothing and doors clipping in and out, and it only started after installing maps 1 and 2. That and I have a lot fewer mods than Baustin installed, just the essentials, a couple official plugins, TR, and No-Glo. I never realized other people ha...

Don Bernardo

Hello Macar! Your esteemed opinion is always good at TR! I'll admit I'm kind of at a disadvantage when doing this. I haven't ever played Oblivion, so although I'm familiar with the soundtrack (I think I know exactly which one has the dulcimer in it) I have never experienced how it works in game. Wha...

Don Bernardo

What if you threw some Dwemer airship plan-looking things in and around the text? That could be awesome.

Don Bernardo

What if you kept that sketchy look but just made it more rigid and structured, kind of like an architectural drawing? Or kind of like how the Morrowind logo is, with all those unerased lines? It is Tamriel Rebuilt after all.

Don Bernardo

None taken! I appreciate the input. I have a bunch of ideas/sketches sitting around that I'll hopefully have the time to write MIDI's for this week, so maybe I can incorporate more of the "dragon-slaying" feel there.

Don Bernardo

Been a little while, here's a new explore track. A little late, but, @RelinQ: Thanks! I wonder if at some point we can, instead of making event or location specific dungeon music, we can treat it like town or explore, and say, okay, all Imperial glass mines play this music, all ugly daedras play thi...

Don Bernardo

I thought I'd give quest designing a shot. Could Mjornir's Alehouse use a bar fight perhaps? My idea is not fully formed yet, but the quest-giver would be one of the guild's more corrupt members, one of the smiths. In reality Galstav, the guy at the back of the bar, knows too much about the smiths' ...

Don Bernardo

Well, I don't want to tell you to make music for us that we can't accept. Our soundtrack has to be in a similar style to the original Oblivion soundtrack. So more orchestral sounding, and less electronica sounding. That said, please do take your time and ease yourself in! Who knows, maybe your dark ...

Don Bernardo

Hey Pink, You most definitely can help us with music composition! Make up a track for us that would be appropriate for Oblivion and post it at the "showcase" forum. If we like it, you're in! ((If it's any other aspect of the project that you want to help with the process is basically the s...

Don Bernardo

Roger! I'll keep it simple. Here's one melody I came up with: [url]http://www.uploadthis.co.uk/uploads/benstox/chantress1.mp3[/url] Some kind of folk melody, no words yet though. Here's another one. This goes with the Ahemmusa poem 'May I shrink to dust' from the book 'Words of the Wind'. This one i...

Don Bernardo

Hey I just noticed this. Someone should have informed the music department (although I guess it's been sitting around since 2008...). Can I work on this? We do still need a song right? This seems kind of exciting actually, finally something concrete to do.

Don Bernardo

Heh, nice, I look forward to it!

Don Bernardo

Lego is amazing! I'm with RelinQ, I think there's no real age restrictions for lego. It's really limitless the stuff you can do with it too. I'm sure I'd still be making it if I had it anymore. I think all my lego went to my little cousins when I finished high school, or something like that... sigh....

Don Bernardo

Hey Hablo! (this could get confusing with a Hablo and a Haplo...) Welcome to TR! I'm glad you'd like to help with music, our basic rule for getting promoted is you have to make one track that we could accept for the project. It would have to sound awesome but not be too intrusive to gameplay. It's g...

Don Bernardo

Okay, I hung around the Port Telvannis slave market and whenever one is in the proximity of the Dres Bug the "dresbug move.wav" will loop constantly. It does not actually loop the whole file, just the first half-second or so. This may be an error of some kind. Regardless, however, your new...

Don Bernardo

Hey Aeven, The new slightly longer move.wav had a part where it sounds like you just cut and pasted something over and the transition was kind of sudden, so I thought I'd take the liberty of smoothing it out somewhat. You can take a listen here: [url]http://www.uploadthis.co.uk/uploads/benstox/don-d...

Don Bernardo

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m Don Bernardo, in real life IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m a king of monkeys and also university student working on an environmental science degree. At TR I work in the muzaq department. The first time I ever played a TES game was actually Redguard. This was many years ago and I was obsessed with pirates at t...

Don Bernardo

This is great guys, thanks for the comments! Your town music starts off slightly Scottish/Celtic, but later it sounds slightly Prince of Persia-ish. Is this a bad thing would you say, Aeven? I think that it could actually use more bass though, that's for sure. I'll try to throw in some more next tim...

Don Bernardo

Thanks again Jedak! Yeah, "Horizon" perhaps isn't my best work. Actually, "No Way Out" sounds really dungeon to me. The vanilla tracks are quite similar, no real music, just a creepy sustained sound and some other creepy intermittent sounds, and variations. I think if I make some...

Don Bernardo

Gotcha.

Don Bernardo

From a purely non-modding point of view, the Old Mournhold architecture was the most interesting for me to play through. Too bad New Mournhold was the least interesting! ;) I always liked suddenly coming across a Velothi dome in the middle of the wilderness with a crazed sorceror inside. Those were ...

Don Bernardo

Haha, a belated happy birthday to Lady Nerevar!

(and yay! the forum's back up!)

Don Bernardo

This is also the problem with midi sounds. It makes the brass sound really crap (especially trumpets!). And even if they are quality sounds, the lower registers suffer. It saddens me greatly when I think of it and its very hard to work around on the computer. Yeah, I know what you mean, you really ...

Don Bernardo

I think those villages don't fit Hammerfell at all. Looks more like something you'd find gnomes living in. Pointy roofs like those aren't seen anywhere in redguard architecture. I disagree; pointy roofs are all over the place in Redguard architecture (from what I remember, at least). I really do li...

Don Bernardo

I like the look of those Sahel villages. Be good to have them (or villages of some kind) up in the Corten looking out over the immense Helkori, leading an isolated existance. The Corten could even be made so that the village(s) are hidden or just hard to get to.

Don Bernardo

Thanks, yeah I was pleased with the ending too! I think on the whole it still feels more "town" than "explore", but that's me. I think the note is an F. Are you now going to tell me that that's not in the acceptable horn range, Mr. Brass Man? ;) Naw, it can be changed. Hmmm, yeah...

Don Bernardo

I think this is an improvement. The first sounds all had some sort of humming in the background. This is both clearer and more interesting! Then again Aeven is part bug... ;) I like how move.ogg gives a sense of the bug coming at you too. Does it need to be slightly longer like the current dresbug_m...

Don Bernardo

Hey that does sound like exactly what we're looking for! Worth a test run anyhow. I'd like to play around with that except I only have Morrowind ATM...
