Workshop Items

[SlipperyBrick]

I am thinking of doing some soundtracks for users to download free from the Leadwerks Workshop on Steam. Just wanted to know if anyone would be interested in this and if this would gain any popularity?

 

If anyone wants a soundtrack made (I am somewhat of a professional). Just leave details of the genre and any ideas/references and I will get to work on them for you

[AggrorJorn]

That is a good initiative SFW.

[YouGroove]

Wow, would be great.

What kind of music ? Electro or classic ?

Some ideas mainly for medieval style

- Peacefull village music

- Simple calm nature soundtrack

- combat music , but not speedy , more calm one

[SlipperyBrick]

I would love to help out the community as I know everyone has their areas of expertise. I would also like the Workshop to be a success as I think Josh is heading the right way about it. Leadwerks can live up to its statement of making gamers in to game makers if they have the resources there for them and they are free to use with no 'royalty scheme' in place.

 

Anything you want Yougroove. If you have an idea in mind, then find a reference for me to work from and I'll gladly make you something. All styles are welcome, Electro, Pop, Classical, Cinematic etc.

[SlipperyBrick]

Just to show you guys here is some previous work I have done.

I have more work I can show but this gives you an idea on what I have done previously

[YouGroove]

That's just great

What tools do you use ?

[SlipperyBrick]

I use FL Studio, with my Maschine Mikro, Launchpad, M - Audio Oxygen 42, Komplete Audio 6 and I design most of my sounds through different VST software (NI Massive, Nexus 2, Sylenth1, Zebra2 etc).

 

I used to run my own record label for 3 years, I've been producing music for 12 years and I've had a few of my tracks released on various record labels as well (EDM music).

 

Game/Film scoring though is always something I've loved, capturing emotion and action and all those elements in a single soundtrack makes for a really interesting game or movie

[gamecreator]

I agree with YouGroove's suggestions. Especially since a lot of early projects are characters running around in a forest, hills, etc., a calm, peaceful, exploration soundtrack could be used by a lot of people. Nothing dramatic but something that hopefully adds a "sense of wonder."

[SlipperyBrick]

That's great. I will get work on a few soundtracks and share them to the Workshop and also post on here to keep you guys updated. Feel free to PM me if you want something specific done though, if you don't ask you won't get

[gamecreator]

Really apprecaited and looking forward to it! (Will check out your stuff when I get home too.)

 

Edit: Listend. Love it! Very pro sounding stuff!

[YouGroove]

So we have a pro musician now

[dennis]

crysis styled music! I LOVE IT

really nice done, respect !

[SlipperyBrick]

Here you go dennis

 

 

It was done pretty quick I can work on it some more though.

[YouGroove]

That's great.

I would just keep scratching style sounds breaks for cinematics, less for continuous combat game, but why not, would need to give it a try.

[SlipperyBrick]

Something I worked on today. If you've watched the movie Tron then you should recognize this

 

[dennis]

really nice!!

[SlipperyBrick]

Just a little update on something I've been working on. Inspired by the Assassins Creed soundtracks.

If anyone wants it I can finish it. Otherwise it will be going in a big collection of others I've worked on to upload to the Workshop on Steam

[SlipperyBrick]

All done and ready to go up on the Workshop on Steam

 

[SlipperyBrick]

Just another update for a new soundtrack I've made for you guys

Tron inspired?

[SlipperyBrick]

Haha yes! Love all the awesome drone texture sounds from the Tron soundtracks

 

Glad you like it, plenty more to come. I'll be uploading a whole collection of tracks that I'll tag the best I can so everyone can use them and make sense of what track goes well with what game style

[DerRidda]

Musically it is very good but I recommend redoing the mixing. Give the whole track more dynamic range, so far the loudness levels are too close together. In the latter half the percussion almost completely drowns beneath everything else taking a lot of force out of the whole track.

 

Listening to some of your other tracks, which I also like a lot, that seems to be a bit of a habit on your part which I recommend breaking. These tracks could move from good to great easily with better mixing.

[SlipperyBrick]

Awesome thanks DerRidda. Yeah I've noticed myself that my tracks are missing that wide spectrum. I kinda keep most things in the mids which doesn't help very much but I'll defo keep practising on the mastering and eq'ing
