Be careful with the loops. Too many loops = bad.

do something dramatic and intense similar to movie soundtracks :D

Menu loops should always be about 2-3 mins long. That way they aren't to repetitive and your normally ready to play unless you admiring the main menu.

LoL A stupid idea:
make some menu tracks unlockable after something is done (beaten a limit of consecutive wins etc)

OK, so I've come up with some different songs, and i kept the loops very minimal this time. they arent very long currently, i just wanted you guys and girls to get a taste of what they would be like

I like the last one the best. Well..the way it started. It needs more instruments, and it needs to pick up more.

These are a lot better than the previous ones.

holy shit, the second to last song (orchestral) was awesome.

Gawain

dude, this is not need for speed ubganxta style XD
there is a general lack of melody and dynamic in your stuff.
the orchestral part is going in the right direction. i also like the the bass in hughi21.

the best example is lalo shifrin's main theme for pandora tomorrow. why don't you try to do something similar, maybe with more development and groove in it? but plz stfu with these loops, techno sux

I think Drum and Bass / Electronic is a good style for PS. However, orchestra with a lot of wooden instruments also sounds cool.

I want something like Pink Floyd instrumentals, or something like Linkin Park - Session in the intense moments  ;D

Gawain

pink floyd is awesome

but tbh, let's go for the orchestral style.

hughie21

Yea, like the Hitman 2 theme in the nost insense seconds -<offtopic> you creep for a neck with a choir in your ears, and while the merc turns around, you hear the drums going mad & awesome... like movie-style.
I think it'd be great, but would'nt it distract too much from the game itself? </offtopic>
