Dawn of War Codex

What kind of music composing software do you use? I saw one new come out on Steam not too long ago.

This is fantastic!

That was awesome. Love the second draft. In my opinion it gave off the feel of "preparation" for war which I think the main menu should have as its Music.

I don't think you need this but for some more inspiration look at the DOW2 album on Itunes. And look at The Green Horde Rises and the Orks theme. Or ill just put down a link...might be better so you dont have to buy it.

The Green Horde Rises:

March of the Waaagh!

This music gives me the feel of being overwhelmed of being very upfront which i think the Ork theme should have. Also Drums and Low "beats" that seem to be rhythmic but also kinda random would make their music.

A DOW1 bonus Orks theme.

My favorite Eldar songs are the following. Having a combined feel of your work and these song might be hard but i think well received and one of a kind.

Khaine's Wrath:

Dow1 Eldar theme

The Eldar In my opinion should feel some what rushed but well thought out. And like how Caeltos said Sacrifice. I guess the best way i think would be "Dying yet powerful."

I hope this helps in one way or another.

Again though, awesome work )


p.s. Some awesome songs I listen too when working on my TT stuff. Only a few but here they are.

I'm using FL Studio, but that's just a DAWS (Digital Audio Workstation), which lets me put the whole thing together. For the instruments I use a lot of layered free soundfonts and VSTi's. Way to much to even post here

the imperial guard stuff is all Russian.

i get what faultron is talking about though; they bass (assuming that's what it is) isn't very deep. it ends up sounding a bit "flat"; a bit like a sharp note to me. bear in mind that i have no significant musical training though so i'm not sure what i'm saying is helpful. the rest of it sounds very good though.

Wow! second elite-title on souncloud is quite awesome. really fitting its role in the main menu, i would think.

Sounds great. A little reminiscent of the Terminator 2 theme at the beginning, which is never a bad thing.

IMO this is how ork music should sound-

I can't believe that Jeremy Soule is making the fantasy equivalent of elevator music now.
