Laserschwert Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 UPDATE June 17th 2012: Major overhaul of all tracks! The complete soundtrack can be found HERE. Well, "complete" minus in-flight music. But I guess Kusi81's work on this will be more than sufficient to accompany my soundtrack Complete downloads: tfmp3.zip (MP3) tfflac.zip (FLAC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daltysmilth Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'd still like to hear an X-Wing soundtrack as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Wasn't that mostly John Williams themes MIDIfied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daltysmilth Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 His themes were used, but there's still a significant amount of original music, as evidenced here: (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ah okay... but TIE comes first for me. Still have to figure out how to assembly the iMuse snippets. The file FLIGHT.OVL contains a table with all the pieces, but I can't make out, how they're supposed to be put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snugglecakes Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ah okay... but TIE comes first for me. Me too, still in my top 10 games of all time. And I don't even like action games. It had a sort of depth to it that was absent from X-wing, can't explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 If I remember correctly the missions were a little more complicated in TIE, with sub-goals and stuff like that. But it's been ages since I played it... I didn't even remember, that the CD-version of TIE allowed a resolution of 640x480. Gotta play it again.

daltysmilth Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 The later CD ROM versions of both TIE Fighter *and* X-Wing featured an update to the graphics engine so the graphics matched those of X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter. That version also had the music for the cutscenes in a folder on the disc in .WAV format if that makes things any easier for you. Also the in mission music was replaced in both games with music from the movie soundtracks in Redbook audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah, I have both versions of "X-Wing 95" and "TIE Fighter 95", but the WAV-files sound like crap... not only bitrate wise, also the synths used are horrible (at least compared to what I'm aiming at). Also, as you've mentioned, the in-flight music is pure movie score, so it doesn't help me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snugglecakes Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I just spent 30 minutes looking for my TIE Fighter CD. No luck. I'm slightly worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusi81 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 This is my first remix-project and here's the result of it - I hope you're enjoying it. It contains a medley from the in-flight music of Tie Fighter Title: Ode To Tie Length: 12:50 new Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RQM53M43 Edited! -> I've done some revisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Sounds great! Do you have a MIDI file of your remix? Or was it mixed after recording it to wave? Also, does it use all parts of the inflight-music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusi81 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I've found several midi files in the Internet of the in-flight music. These are about six midi files of in flight music. There were more, but I didn't used them because these doesn't fit in my medley. I've start with one file to remix, then take the seond, and so go on. I've done this with eight files. Here's a link for the midi's: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8THM5YFZ These are all files I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Ah okay, I already have those. I think I'll tackle the in-flight music last though. BTW, I've replaced all the tracks in the first post with new versions, now using Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 and the free Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra, while mixing everything in Reaper.

s-island Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The SSO has the string section as separate samples. Did you split up and re-arrange the string ensemble tracks into their violin, viola, cello, and double bass elements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 The SSO has the string section as separate samples. Did you split up and re-arrange the string ensemble tracks into their violin, viola, cello, and double bass elements? The only manual splits I did in the strings was between legato and staccato notes (and I've only used the staccato ones from SSO, while using the rest from GPO). Still, all seperate string types (1st and 2nd violin, viola, cello, bass) are grouped as "ensembles", with each one using only their own range of notes. But of course, this isn't as detailed as doing manual splits for these as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusi81 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Has Reaper an easier handling than Fruity Loops? How did you separate legato and staccato notes? Are they in separate tracks? I'm currently using FL Studio 10 and there are some complications inthere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Well, I can't compare Reaper to FL, since I've never used that one. Seperating notes is relatively easy in Reaper though, as you can set the MIDI-channel separately for each note (or a selection of notes, of course), so I don't have to split the track up into even more tracks. Then each track gets Garritan's ARIA player as a VSTi, which allows me do define which MIDI channel plays which samples. It's pretty straightforward. Here's a screenshot of the ARIA player: As you can see, all notes set to MIDI channel 15 will be playing the different "Lush" strings, whereas channel 16 will use the staccato ones. Channel 14 is also used for GPO's "auto legato" feature, which only works for monophonic notes (so no chords). "Auto legato" causes notes to flow into each other by removing the "attack" portion of an instrument sample. So every time theres a string line that's supposed to be played that way, I set it to channel 14. This setup is of course only used for one of the two string tracks in the TIE-MIDIs, while the other tracks get their own ARIA player (with the string setup being the more elaborate one... the horns, for example, have only one instrument in the list).

Kusi81 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Sounds like the same in FL. But I think FL don't handle the notes correctly, sometimes the instruments sounds pretty strange. I'll try to remake a part of my medley with Reaper this evening. I'm currently working with EWQLSO Silver Edition and sometimes the instruments sounds in the standalone-application better than in FL Studio. Maybe I'll be more happy with it! Thank you for the informations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 I was always wondering how the TIE-MIDIs would sound with EWQLSO's samples. Right now I don't want to purchase another orchestral sample library, now that I already got GPO. With GPO though I needed to add a LOT of effects to the master track (and also the individual tracks) like several reverbs, EQs and other stuff.

Kusi81 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 yeah, I've also used the reverb-effect but currently not the EQ! I'm an absolute beginner in that topic and the Tie-In-Flight Midi's are for me like a huge playground to work with, I can sit in front of that over hours!!!

Laserschwert Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 The same here. I've read a lot about that stuff, but still don't have grasped it. For reverb for example, it's good to have two separate ones: The first dealing with the so called "early reflections", which apparently just simulate the sound hitting the walls of the room first. This effect is different for each instrument group, as it suggest how deep the instrument is positioned in the room (so while panning deals with the left/right position, this effect deals with the front/back position). And then there's the big "tail" reverb, which just simulates the entire room. It could be different for each instrument as well, but I just put this one on the master effects track. EQing is very difficult, and my ears aren't really trained for it anyway, so most of the time I have no clue what to adjust. Usually I just try to match the spectrum of a professionally mixed track. Still, I'm not entirely happy with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusi81 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 hehe same like me - I'm also not happy with the result. The orchestral part sounds nice but no perfect. I'd like to make it more dynamicly or to add more percussion. The bass is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
