What do you mean with "standard music file"? Isn't ogg format quite standard? :)

I like the orbit remix. It sounds badass. If you rename the file to the right name, and place it in the proper directory it'll play in game.

Winamp 2.80 and later have ogg support (no need for extra plugins).

Real nice! I'm looking forward to the complete remixed soundtrack. Aren't there two other planet orbit themes in the 3DO version? I'm assuming so, because UQM plays all three.

No, what I meant was that we should replace the old defaults with these.

There will be option to select which music to play in UQM version 0.3.

Yes there are more orbit music. Actually there are 4 different plus one variation so to count 5 different orbit themes. For UQM there will be some original never heard orbital themes too..

Mark, (nice nick btw), after hearing some of your work, I have concluded that you must be very talented, thumbs up!

Are you on the remix team yet?

Mark - VERY good! I'm impressed! ::thumbs up::
I'm listening to it through a crappy laptop speaker, and it still kicks quite an amount of ass.  Very professional-sounding, too.
Just out of curiosity - what software did you use in the process of making this?

Thanks. I really don't think the remix was that good :) My quasi-space remix is faaaaaar more better ;D

Yes I'm on the team, been chatting a lot with Riku.

Thanks again :)

I'm using Orion Platinum, lots of free samples and VST/VSTi plugins.

I like it.  Perfect, just perfect, adds in a great deal of quality and atmosphere, while still keeping the basic melody and the feel of the original piece.  Top not work!

Orbits original - 3:08
Orbits remix - 1:39
Why'd the re-mix get cut to almost half the time. I agree that the original was kinda boring and repetative, but I had hoped a re-mix would fix that and keep the orignal length so that if I'm ever gathering mineral for more than a minute and a half I won't get bored with the music, even if I am already bored with the resource gathering process.

Asside from that, I appreciate the more bassy undertones of the re-mix. It did well to overcome the high pitched, squeeky nature of the original.

Post by: Mark Vera on May 04, 2003, 08:46:00 pm
Are you sure you have the right original? Because the original mod in UQM and the 3DO remix of this song is exactly same length - 1:39. Or actually 3DO version is 1:34 and the original mod says it's 1:36 (content/ipanims/orbit1.mod).

So infact the UQM remix is 3 seconds longer than original..

About the bass, yes I had few master versions with more bass, but I finally didn't want the orbital music to have booming bass. After all it is *background* music. And I left space to the middle for sound effects...

I think a really awesome intro sequence convering what happened in SC1 is what we need the most.

Animating the "Many great battles" would be the best bit :D

No need to make it too short, it should cover in detail what happened in SC1, perhaps as a narrative.

Not being selfish, but after you hear my Quasi-Space remix, Rush AX's remix sounds cheap :) .. to hear my remix, you need to wait the release of UQM remix project.
