Just working out the sort of style I'll be using for the music in my RPG. This is the theme 'Dangerous Style' for normal bosses and recurring rival characters. I may make it longer, but for now it's designed to stay on a loop.

I used Fruityloops 8 to make this. I don't have any custom synths so I'm limited to the ones that come with the program, though I try my best to mutilate them and make them sound not so crummy. XD

Sounds solid dude. I recomend getting a syth though, because the notes do have that sort of fake tonality that gets irritating after awhile. But other than that it sounds fitting with the description you gave of your game.

 

[Ryanide]

Thanks. I haven't had that complaint before. Mind explaining what a syth is and what it is exactly that needs changing? I'm not very good with musical theory, I just work by ear.

The higher notes don't have any resonance so they sound pingy and fake. If you had some way to add a vibrtory track or a good bass line it would fix it most of the way.

A syth is anything that makes replicant sounds. Buy one. Love it tenderly...

Hmm, I'll fiddle with the OSC's and filters to see if I can dull some of those sounds. But personally I like them.

sounds good man, could use a little fine tuning on mastering, i actually kind of like the midi-ish sounding guitar, but it could use a bit of sustain on the shorter lower notes, i really like what you did around ~:40.....seriously man, the cheeseball dance mix stab at the end has got to go, altho it did give me a bit of a chuckle "MORTAL COMBAT" seriously lose that and youre golden for the most part

You mean the orchestra hits right? I'm a huge fan of them, but I'll work on getting some that sound less cheesy.

 

[Gulch666]

yeah it sounds like the lead from that lame ass mortal combat song they made for the movie, its a very cheesy stab, im all for orchestral stabs. but the sample you have is well, like i said, cheese.

i really like the little mini keyboard solo at like 39-47, i think that instrument could use a tiny bit more volume

 

[Ryanide]

Haha sure thing, I'll use one of the other ones next time I update. I think there are some brassier sounding ones in the samples.

I'm thinking of adding high strings in to some parts for a grander feel.
