Uploaded them again and sent them via PM Graff. Somhow I managed to send one of them twice, so just ignore one, since they are both the same.

Not having much luck with dungeon stuff. I'll take a crack at some battle sounds and if I cant come up with anything I'll try dungeon again hehe. Great dungeon peice Macar.

Cheers Pug. Macar, I still need your stuff, Macar =)

Any good for dungeons?

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Sun May 14, 2006 10:11 pm

Very frightening! However, I'm worried that it will stand out to much against the original. Maybe if you added some sustained string chords, not very loud, but still enough to retain some of the orchestal feel.

But exelent work, none the less, I just wet myself with fright.

Pug · Post by **Pug** » Mon May 15, 2006 1:26 am

Yeah, I've been trying to add some strings to it but as soon as I do, it sounds shit. Not sure what to do with it. I'll keep trying I guess, and if I cant, you add some if I send you the MP3?

I have listend to all the original dungeon tracks then mine, dont seem to stand out too much.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Mon May 15, 2006 2:34 am

Maybe your'e right. I guess I didnt listen to the game music that much.
BTW, the heartbeat as percussion- Genious.

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Wed May 17, 2006 8:37 am

Pug: Nice work on Darkness, like Macar said, a bit of melody would be nice =)

Macar: *nudge*, I still need all the mp3s from you that I've already approved, please? (Greatness lost, Tension, Hymn to Tiber Septim, and the one we both worked on). I trust you still have them on file, as I've already pointed out that I didn't permanently download them before the server move, so I can't get them.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Thu May 18, 2006 2:20 pm

I already sent you tension and the hymn. Did you not get them? The rest are forthcomming.

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Fri May 19, 2006 10:41 am

Nope, I never recieved them, the only one I've got is Y'vassa.

Attempt at a battle track.

Edit: Not happy with it as it is. Going to add some effects to take away the sharpness and maybe add some other instruments if I can.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 5:47 pm

Cant wait to hear them- but I'll wont be able to today- probably tommorrow.

Pug · Post by **Pug** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 5:01 am

So are these any good for Stirk or should I just scrap them and start something new?

Going to try some HF stuff in the meantime.

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 8:26 am

I really like Fury, though it is a little short. I'm not sure where I stand on Darkness, I'll give it another listen when I wake myself up

.

Graff.

P.S. Macar, I still need those other tracks.

Pug · Post by **Pug** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 5:08 pm

It's a battle track, it's supposed to be short.

Most OB battle music is only 1:20, I think the longest one is 2:00.

Gez · Post by **Gez** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 5:33 pm

Darkness 18-15 is rather good. I would just advise cutting down on the big synth waves, too loud and invasive for a background music, and removing the whispering voices.

Fury doesn't sound at all like any other in-game combat music. It doesn't evoke TES at all to me. The intro is too long, and the rest is too repetitive and modern.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 5:35 pm

I know. It may have to wait until I get home in August

I've been going by what people requested. Somone wanted intense battle music, and Fury is what a came up with.

If all music must sound like Oblivions original music then I cant see me being able to contribute much when it comes to music. But I'll keep trying to come up with somthing that meets Oblivions standards.

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 10:27 am

I'm going to disagree with Gez here, I think Fury is a really good track, it might even be a good start towards HF battle music.

We're going to be doing music of different cultures in TR, not just the vanilla OB tracks. If it was a case of doing music that sounded exactly the same as OB music, I could do it by myself with ease.

Carry on guys =)

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 9:15 pm

Here's my music for stirk

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 12:13 pm

Cheers dude =D

Any idea what happened to that piece we were working on together, Stirk at Dawn?

Graff.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Sat Jul 08, 2006 5:51 pm

Oh yeah, I think I still have it somewhere- I'll put it up in few days.

How do i always miss these music threads? Thankyou very much for uploading that collection Macar

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 3:54 pm

I have your peice, Graff, but the computer wont let me attatch it. I'll try again later.

[edit] still not working >:( It says: No post mode specified when I try to add the attatchment. What does that mean?

Graff · Post by **Graff** » Mon Jul 31, 2006 8:40 pm

If only I knew

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 7:39 am

Alrighty, I'd like to get this going again (it's almost done).

Pugzilla: Upon playing Oblivion a lot, I think that Darkness fits quite well with and without the strings. I'll let you decide which one you preffer- I think it's scarrier without. As for fury, my only complaint is that it builds up, but When the combat music starts, the battle has already started and half the time it is over in about 10 seconds. I think you shouldnt have any parts where the cello tremolli arent there- because that kills the tension. The length, however, is fine: just about a minute.

Pug · Post by **Pug** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 9:55 pm

At first I didn't like it with strings. But now after not listening to either of them for ages, I'm liking the strings version better. But I agree it does lose some spookiness. Maybe possible to use both of them, less spooky one for the upper part of the dungeon and the spooky one deeper in

(with strings gets my vote)

Sorry I've not been about for awhile, had computer probs, just got it fixed late last week. And I find myself addicted to HOI2 again, not played it for a long time... Once I've conquered the world I'll get back to work

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Fri Sep 01, 2006 3:33 am

That's okay- I've been doing my share of gaming lately, as well (OB and WOTR2). I dont know about including both, though. Probably not a wise use of file space.

My only suggestion is to cut the intro in half, and change the repetitive part toward the end.

Hey, guys, I know I officially can't produce music ands tuff for this, but this is just a sample of the kind of stuff I can make.. sorry for the kinda poor quality and ervewrything (plus short length etc) and yeah.. Just check it out, see if you're interested.. I know I should turn the main melody guitar down a bit (and yeah I know an electric is out of place in a medieval game.. but its just a sample) just wondering if you guys might be interested at all.. idunno..

Hi here's my song. Didn't specifically write it for this but take I listen. I'm sure it can be used somewhere.

Track I made for Stirk. Tis a dungeon peice, I called it Darkest Depths, since it's an evil, evil track that will make you poop yer pants.

Well I hope it does anyway, enjoy!

It's a first draft, but pretty much complete. If you can think of any changes to improve it let me know.

Theron Udraer · Post by **Theron Udraer** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 8:43 pm

I really liked the beginning; after that it got a little repetitive. On that last note in the repetition, i suggest going down one more note. It would make it sound more much better and eviler, I think. Also a kettle drum beat somewhere in there would be nice: something at the end, a bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum. Great piece.

Pug · Post by **Pug** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 12:06 am

Pug, you have returned!

Ayedail · Post by **Ayedail** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 3:08 pm

Guys, I actually bought a program to make music, and i am pretty musical, so now I can make music for TR

, the problem is, I never really know how to start writing a piece, that's like my main problem ( oh and lack of time ofcourse..)

Pug · Post by **Pug** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 5:47 am

Hey Macar, how goes it? Good to see your still here.

@ Ayedail,

Heres what I do if I'm having problems getting started on a tune. I get an idea of what I'm wanting in my head, like a battle track. I then wade through piles of music to find somthing that fits what I'm looking for. Then I attempt to copy the basics from it. Since it's almost impossible to copy a track 100% you'll come up with somthing completely original. Delete the track you was using as a reference and build your track from what you have and change it even more if need be. That last battle track I did I used the music from a ETW trailer to get me started. G/L.
