I wanna hear it but the link seems to be broken.

I'm into music-creation with Synths too, as my sig-image might suggest ;) I don't have Fruity Loops though.

That music is very moody and atmospheric. You sure are a talented guy and I like your style :thumb_up:

I can understand where you are coming from. I'm using fraps pro , latest movie maker and poser 6 to "try" and make a movie set in the x universe but after few hours of pulling out my hair over some hiccup or camera angle I also start asking myself why I'm doing this when I could actually be playing :D

Oh and btw I think that rack would be perfect for a busy manual labour sector like ore belt. It was the first thing I thought about when I heard it.

Very nice combination of sounds & layers, the only thing I'd suggest is to ensure the notes you use are within a key, as some don't harmonise well with other layers in the song.
The layers that come in at 00:16 and 01:45 are examples of what I mean. The pitch-bend they go through causes them to bend out of key and sound a bit dissonant against the other layers.

However, that can be done on purpose too, for effect, so don't take it as a bad thing or negative criticism, only constructive criticism. :)

Overall, it's great stuff, keep it up and make some more for us now :D
You may be an amateur but as camera4 said; you have talent ;)

If you listen to the music from X2/X3 it's actually quite symphonic, harmonic & musical, even though it's definitely electronic & synthesised. That suggests to me that the guys who did the music (Alexei Zhakarov & Thomas Egeskov Petersen) have a background in music or a knowledge of music theory. (Or I'm wrong and they're really good at picking out what sounds good by ear).

Hey Kampfar, I wonder if you could make it possible for us to download the song of yours. I really like it a lot. Like you, I am a fan of this type of music. I am Russian myself and seeing what Alexei Zakharov did, just blew me away. This music is so great, that I myself began learning the Fruity Loops, and Reason 3.0 music applications. Also, can tell me or us how you constructed that song. I want to see if with your permission, I can modify it a bit. I have a neck for these sort of thing. I love modyfying and changing things to my perspective. If you can help me with that, I will work with you through Fruity Loops, and maybe both of us, can make a Space Opera style Song using what you made, and make it a bit longer. Well, what do you say mate? I will wait for your reply. Thanks again for making this song. I like it alot. :wink:

Honestly, I want the sheet music for for Peace#7. I take it that is the one for Kingdom's End? Haven't been in the system but I have a hunch that is it.

But why would I want sheet music for a synths. Well, I play Geetar and the melody in the in it sounds dead to rights a Chet Atkins finger pick with the tape echo on repeat. The rythem bits that are there has a little slap back, another Chet signature, along with Setzer and all them other rockabilly cats.

I would love to toil over that to convert to tab and pick it through my soon to be Gretsch Tennessee Special (as soon as I get to TN-the state) I want it Baaaaddddd. I have a hollow body, but it is a poor mans Gretsch.

I may like Rockabilly, but I also love trance as the next man or woman.

The only thing I see what's wrong is that it doens't seem possible to save to disk so I can listen to it on the move. Other than that, that's one good track.

That track will fit in nicely into the game, but I still think that Kampfar should contact me or leave the message here so that I can get in touch with him. I am quite eager to work with him on his track. I just need a blueprint of how he made that track. Hey guys, if you llike this idea, please e-mail me at goykhman@uwm.edu I think that if we all work together, maybe we can make our own several songs for this community, and share it with others. What do you think guys and gals? It can work if we do it. E-mail me if you want to help me. Thank you guys in advance. :D

Photonic Dude in response to your request in the form of a song by Hank Williams;

I have an ancient rig and a lack of disk space
I also don't have time to compose a good rave
It's caused by real life and pressure from my family
I thank you however for this offer to me saying..

Hey good...look.....

ah forget it.
