Final Kingdom Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I've listened to some people's songs and I thought this was really cool! How can I go about making my own SNES music, if you all don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamkage Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 How can I go about making my own SNES music, if you all don't mind me asking? Many of the sounds we use can be produced with soundfonts: http://www.williamkage.com/snes-soundfonts-and-samples/ (I have 27 games' instrument sets at time of writing, more to come!) To use the soundfonts, you'll need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) such as FL Studio, or freeware like LMMS: http://lmms.sourceforge.net/ When you're ready to submit something to this project, make sure you adhere to the guidelines that they've posted here: http://snesology.tumblr.com/Our%20Mission It's great to see new people interested in SNES composition. Best of luck, and if you want more specific help, please feel free to email me! snes [at] williamkage.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeTaKa Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm not sure how that came off as doubting your ability; I have no doubt that you can do it. It didn't, it's just soundfonts aren't really the best medium to do it properly. A soundfont wouldn't sound great when it would come to echo, vibrato etc...that's why I call it a last resort. The ultimate goal would be to have a small customized VST built to load the sounds and tweak them for SNES purposes and make it free for everyone. For example, if you want to do a proper NES chiptune, you wouldn't really use a soundfont to do it properly (..you'd use a tracker lol but some people aren't really into that, including me). So the same courtesy should really extend. I've thought about building one myself but I just wince at the thought of programming again. But yeah that is a "big" goal. In the meantime if anybody is using Kontakt then I would happily send them what were using for it. We'd just really like to avoid soundfonts for now, get on with ripping more sounds from games and hopefully have a viable solution when we have a website...or something like that.

williamkage Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 That would be mega-cool! Yeah, technically we should all be tracking SPC's, right? But as long as the DSP sounds okay, how you get there shouldn't matter. Besides programming, VST's may have compatibility issues with certain DAW's, I don't know. You do make a good point, though, about vibrato. SF2 allows LFO to be built-in, and some do have it (even a couple of mine!) but not all. An alternative to VST-driven DSP would be taking measurements like feedback/cutoff, wet/dry, etc. If that was standardized, it wouldn't matter what DAW you're plugging them into. I've actually been helping a lot of people refine their SNES sounds in FL Studio. Here's a demo from one guy who's making great progress: Not bad, right?
