  | + | <center>  | 
| - | One of the, more important [[RPG Maker Resources]] is Music:

| - |                                 MUSIC IS 1/3 OF WHAT WE SEE...

| - | == Choosing Or Making Music ==
  | + | [[Image:phantomo212.jpg]]  | 
|   |  |   |  | 
| - | Most people don't realize that Music sets the mood and make people feel exactly
  | + | <h1>LONG LIVE THE LULZ!</H1>  | 
| - | how the composer wants them to feel. It is no Different when talking about RPG Maker
  | + | <h1>TOTAL DOMINATION!</H1>  | 
|   |  |   |  | 
| - | When choosing Music, or making music to put into your Project there are a few important things to consider.
  | + | [[Image:phantomo212.jpg]]  | 
| - | Lots of existing Games that have been made unfortunatly just throw whatever they find
  | + |  | 
| - | without giving it much thought.
  | + |  | 
|   |  |   |  | 
| - | Below will be the "Rules" of Music, but when I say rules, It just mean
  | + | <h1>LONG LIVE THE LULZ!</H1>  | 
| - | some guidlines that should be followed when Making, or selecting music to be used in Rm2k/3/XP.
  | + | <h1>TOTAL DOMINATION!</H1>  | 
|   |  |   |  | 
| - |      RULE 1: Make sure the song actually sounds like the theme you are going for. (This actually should be a rule)
  | + | [[Image:phantomo212.jpg]]  | 
| - |      Common sense; but remember to consider Genre, what type of game you are trying to make
  | + |  | 
| - |      will help with the music selecting also. Futuristic games would sound good with Synths and drums,
  | + |  | 
| - |      however, A long, Epic Futurisic game should have Epic Symphonies. 
  | + |  | 
| - |      Fantasy and Mid-evil games probably shouldn't have Beeps and synths. (Remember there is always exceptions)
  | + |  | 
| - |      (Black Mage's Village [FF9] off the top of my head)
  | + |  | 
|   |  |   |  | 
| - |      RULE 2: Not necessarily a rule, but: Movie and Game composers (If Hired to do the entire soundtrack)
  | + | <h1>LONG LIVE THE LULZ!</H1>  | 
| - |      Will usually make one song with an amazing Chorus or arrangment, then modify it to make
  | + | <h1>TOTAL DOMINATION!</H1>  | 
| - |      as many more songs as needed. Examples: Final Fantasy 9 (Game), Xenosaga I (Game), Hollow Man (Movie)
  | + |  | 
|   |  |   |  | 
| - |      RULE 3: Ever try making a battle theme with just Strings? Didn't think so...
  | + | [[Image:phantomo212.jpg]]  | 
| - |      Instruments are also important... You would be amazed how many time I've heard: "Well, I used the
  | + |  | 
| - |      Glass harmonica because", or "I wanted a glass harmonica solo here so that..." 
  | + |  | 
| - |      Apparently the sound of the instrument is A very important Decision. 
  | + |  | 
| - |      Examples that use the F###ing annoying Glass harmonica are: Three Colors: Blue (Movie), and Final Fantasy: TSW (Movie)
  | + |  | 
| - |      Also Wild Arms uses Acoustics and whistles alot to shape the mood of the wasteland.
  | + |  | 
| - |      Final Fantasy 12 Uses massive orchestras to get across thier Massive Epic Feel.
  | + |  | 
| - |      You Feel like your at a party with FFX-2's amazing soundtrack

|   |  |   |  |

|   |  |   |  | 
| - | '''Rm2k''' will accept the following:
  | + | <h1>LONG LIVE THE LULZ!</H1>  | 
| - | Under Music: Midis and WAVE (Wave files are huge... Best just not to use them for music.)
  | + | <h1>TOTAL DOMINATION!</H1>  | 
| - | Under Sound: WAVE (Sound effects, Mainly used in Battle animations, but can be used for a 
  | + |  | 
| - | variety of things)
  | + |  | 
|   |  |   |  | 
| - | '''RM2K3''' Will Accept the following
  | + | [[Image:phantomo212.jpg]]  | 
| - | Under Music: Midi (Standard Music File), WAVE (Same as RM2K), and Most versions play MP3 (Which is
  | + |  | 
| - | much better than WAVE, but you still shouldn't Clog you Project with these, Im sure a few Important songs
  | + |  | 
| - | could be MP3 Especially the Ending.) The only problem with this is finding people to make original MP3
  | + |  | 
| - | Music.
  | + |  | 
| - | Under Sound: WAVE (SFX)
  | + |  | 
| - | (I May have heard of a few patches that allow MP3s as sound files for rm2k3 but I dunno where they are.)
