free game music Thread

i just crossed a problem:
where to get music for single player mods?
i know i cant just rip music from games and movies, so i need to find some other source.

maybe you could add in something in the help wanted section about a composer?

yea.. theres two things you can do.
you could do a help wanted for a music composer.
or learn it yourself.

of course, making music needs alot of time and well the ability to play musical instramints*.

or you could get pro quality software and find lots of free sound loops. which are hard to find trust me.

if you had a mac i would suggest garage band, to make music, but its impossible to use when on a pc, unless you get an emulator of some type

Here is a link to NG Audio.

Most of the stuff by ParagonX9 is good. Also, the music there is free to download and use. Just give proper credit.

www.mp3.com.au
Has a lot of free stuff, and I'm sure if you email the artists they will allow you to use it for free with some credit of course.

im with greatguy46 on this one. if u can get someone with a mac to help u, then garage band is a quick and easy way to make music.

well, garage band is one thing. and making quality moody music is an other thing. i know i cant play any instrument, cuz im not musical. otherwise id be composing music myself

Find music you like on free mp3 sites, then email the authors to ask permission. Many small bands/musicians will be happy for you to use their music, as it gets them publicity.

how do you make a mix file? like putting your music in.(to be read by a game of course.):moddb:

There are numerous websites dedicated to free, license unencumbered music. Creative Commons is the licensing system - googling Creative Commons music should get you some hits.

Now, anybody got a good recommendation of where to find sounds? And plus, anybody know if the sprites in Abuse are opensource? The game was free'd, indluding the sprite content, but I don't know the license.
