Decent Battle Music Required

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Hey guys, I need some more battle music. Half the stuff on RMXP isn't what I'm after. Can anyone give me a website that contains a good collection of battle music OR a music generator that I can use to make some myself (provided that I know how it works)

You might want to check the Resource Analysis, there are tons of good battle BGMs in there. But since I'm feeling nice, here's a sticky with a LOT of resource links on it.

Thanks Regimos. Topic resolved... for now

Back... (glad no-one closed this)

I still need to know which music is actually any good.

Here's what I've downloaded from BlueLaguna.net so far, along with what I plan to use it for to date. If you find any music which you think will be good, post it here. I will also listen to any suggestions you make on how to arrange the music that I have above, provided that you explain why I should do so

Mods, feel free to move this to discussion...

Bump... still need help here (and this still should be moved)

 

[Reives]

Personally I'd avoid the more well-known FF music. When someone hears a tune that they are familiar with, often it reminds them of the scene from that specific game that they are reminded of, hence being distracted from your game.

 

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

I'll keep that in mind... problem is, the FF and Legaia music is all I know that I could get from BlueLaguna. This is why I need to know what else is any good.

 

[Calibre]

There is other music sites that have original mp3 music made for the purpose of being in games, try http://www.sakari-infinity.net/.&nbsp; You have to register there like you do here but they have quite a bit.  There are also plenty of japanese sites that can be found here: http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=1839.0

 

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Note to self: Don't always stick with what you know. Now I have music from Rouge Galaxy, Chaos Legion, Legend of Mana and Dawn of Mana, all which I've only read about on Neoseeker. I also have another piece from Legaia 2: Duel Saga. I'll be updating my list of music now.

@Calibre: Thanks for the site, I'll be looking there in case I still need more...

 

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

One more thing before I let this thread die...

Is there any way (editting or otherwise) to keep the music from fading? It does get kind of annoying when the song fades and then starts again from scratch

 

[Jstreet]

Not possible unless you can get the person who made the song to edit it (and from your sources that's a long shot). Although if there is a part of the song where it goes back to the beginning you could cut it and loop it in some type of audio editing program like, Audacity.

 

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Thanks, I'll keep a lookout for it.

EDIT: Now I have a problem... RMXP seems to cut off the end of my music so it doesn't loop properly. Any idea why it does that?
