My first try

Hello guys,

I'd like to support the Wesnoth project with some music.
Here is my first attempt for a music in medieval style.
It is a little bit like Age of Empires 1. Enjoy.
If you like it I'll try to make a wav, ogg or something.

Thanks! Wesnoth music is usually stored in .ogg files.

Sounds kind of nice. It gets quite repetitive, though. I think it would be good to remove about half of the total content, and reduce it to be played at half the speed, leaving the same total length.

P.S.: What program did you use to make it?

Thanks for the fast reply.
It repeats quite often because I normally make trance, rap and techno (and stuff I cant sort in genres).

I use a nearly 15 year old Windows 3.11 program ( Voyetra MIDI Orchestrator plus). Sure, its a relic, but its simple and easy. (KISS works

)

For the mp3s (which I can convert in oggs) I use Fruity Loops, but this is a rather unexplored continent. It will take a few month to learn the whole stuff and tools the program comes with.

Can you save the file in .mp3 or .ogg.

I can not play midi on my Linux computer

The Forum is hanging. I will upload the mp3 ASAP.

Its too big.
Need to get some webspace.

Awesome! It`s your first try? Hard to believe. But it`s a bit too long, i suggest that you try what EP suggested.

I'm currently lacking of webspace.

Is there a way to dump my stuff here or mail it to someone?

I like it very much - it is really stylish

Converting mp3s to ogg is a really bad idea. Lossy formats should always be final conversions, not intermediate steps.

Industriebrot · Post by **Industriebrot** » February 22nd, 2005, 3:25 pm

Well .wav to .ogg then.No quality losses then.

Winamp can play .oggs

kakingho · Post by **kakingho** » February 24th, 2005, 3:49 pm

But...... why this game uses .ogg??!

Why don't use mp3 or midi??!

MP3 is a patented format and they want you to pay to license their encoding technology. I always thought MP3 was free, and on our end it may be. However, for people using MP3 in a product they produce it costs money. OGG is free and better than MIDI I guess. We're all about free around here.
