A sad song by Odowacar

I've finished my first song for TR.

This is quite sad song but I think it works alright even in a happy-happy-joy-joy atmosphered tavern too. I'm proud of this song.

Feedback?

Nice work. With a little tightening up, I think that's something Nobuo Uematsu could be proud of.

Who is Nobou Uematsu?

I would do this musics with Cubase but I have a one problem: the Cubase Demo doesn't start downloading. Are there any other good and free music making programs?

Nobou Uematsu is the composer for almost all of the games in the Final Fantasy serie.

The song is simple and melancholic, and sounds very distant. I think this would be perfect background music for exploring an important landmark, like a ruin or a silent/foggy battlefield. Nice job:)

Thanks.

Could someone edit this song for me a bit? As you can hear it sizzles. I have a poor mic.

I tried to take out some of that background noise for you, but it's hard to say if it made much of a difference, it definately fixed some parts, but have a listen for yourself. I can try something else to fix the sound if you still think it's not right.
Great song by the way, vey pretty melody.

Sounds great, dude. I'd recommend it for map 2 music.

However:

-You might want to check your mixing levels, on the louder parts, there's audible pops and cracks of the sort I associate with the overall volume too high.

-It's a little bare compared with morrowind's own music. How about changing the backing piano part to two violins, perhaps adding a woodwind part playing fifths, and some very light percussion.

-It ends very abruptly. If I were you, I'd add a final chord that fades out.

I like it, but it kind of sounds like a recording of a music box.

I can do the final fade out, but I can not add those violins. Indeed violins would be great but I'm not able to do that. Maybe someone who has the Cubase or something like that could. And I can't edit the song anymore to erase cracks and sizzles - I did all I could with my Audacity.

Well, send it to me, and I'll have a look, it's what I'm here for.

I made the fade out, not much but it should do it.

That's very good. It sounds good, overall. However, I'm not really sure how it would fit into a game like TES, which isn't an "emotional experience" like Final Fantasy. But I'm sure it could be used somewhere. *two thumbs up*

BTW, how the heck do you add all those different instruments into the background? Did you record it, then play it again with more instruments thrown into the mix? All that I have is a piano, and I don't know how to mix different sounds or put my work on the computer(in case I wanted to).

This song ain't finished yet. I hope someone with Cubase or other that kinda program could add some violins to the background. It would make the song complete.

I think i found myself some new modding music!!

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 10:38 am

I've got Cubase, but no samples of violins, so if I did it, it would have to be a MIDI or VST instrument, which would, well, suck.

Odowacar · Post by **Odowacar** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 11:06 am

Maybe then flutes or french horns or bassoons or something.

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Sun Nov 06, 2005 11:37 am

I don't have any instrument samples at all, I guess that's something I'll have to rectify, at least I've got most of my scores sorted out though.

Search for a little something called "cadenza strings", I believe you can get it at hammersound.net
