Evening Guys,
Just need some help on getting some music for my website . I am a big fan of Video Game music, I daresay its what I predominantly listen to. So I figured I give a try here to see if I can get some help.
Right now I am working on launching my own tech website, it will have its own Vbulletin 4.x forum, podcasts, and a wiki. Its will mostly be about Computer Hardware, my forte, but I am throwing some gaming in the side here and there.
Anyhow I need some music samples for video reviews, and intros, and the podcast. Also some random sound effects done.
Personally I would like to learn more about making music, I would attempt making some of it myself, however because of the immense logistics in getting the site up right now, I think I better leave it to the professionals, because I know how difficult anything well done is.
Keep in mind, I need original work, and I need full rights to use the tracks as I please, you would give me the rights to the music indefinitely and no one besides me could use it on their website. You will be fully credited though, and I don't mind if you show it off etc, I just can't have other sites using the same sounds etc. This will be a professional site, copyrighted etc. Ill share details of the site with those interested.
So here's some music styles that I think can work for this project:
BlazBlue Series
Guilty Gear Series
Darwania Series
Jet Set Radio
Melty Blood Series
Panzer Dragoon Series
Nights into Dreams Series
Streets of Rage Series
Final Fantasy Series
I would like a good use of Guitars if possible, and be a little rock inspired, as the same time, I love some Jazz, and smooth sounds, and quirky catchy beats ala Go Straight from Streets of Rage 2. I am open to 8bit, 16bit, or Full Spectrum music. I am a big fan of classical music, so arrangements, is a big plus . Think Nobuo Uematsu
Here's what I need for now:
Sound Effects:
Turbine inspired scaling, think THX but with the whirl of a turbo/turbine.
Pop Up Effect:
When a text bubble pops up, something game inspired please .
Title Effect: When a information bar comes under a person or product.
Achievement Unlocked Sound:
Think FF end battle music, heh!
Intro music: I was thinking something similar to Ill Victory Beat from Jet Set Radio, something that scales, and seems hip and edgy.
End Credits Music:
Something Rock inspired, like stuff Daisuke Ishiwatari does for Guilty Gear, and BlazBlue, style.
Jazzy Song: Something along the lines to Elegant Summer, from Melty Blood Actress Again. That I can use on the slower Segments.
Podcast Intro and Ending Music.
Anyhow there are no guidelines, just like I understand a designer, needs to design a website, without me telling him to do his job, I think the same applies to sound. I can give more examples, and more music I like etc. But I would like whomever would like to help, so come up with their own solutions. Let me know if theres anything I can do as well.
What I can offer.
For now, nothing really, I can help you with any hardware questions you may have, and I can give you a premium account on my site. Which right now is pretty worthless since I am just starting out, but may be worth it to ya in the future . I can be part of your portfolio, etc.
Thanks alot, I am willing to work with anyone thats open minded and creative, thanks for your time.
