Well, I'm looking for music to start placing my clips in. Don't think of it as music that you personally like. I want music that a large number of people will like as opposed to people disliking it. And it has to be music that can deliver the hype factor for a game like Lunia.

no sad despressing music. no anime 'coolness' thing people get from the internet and 'cringe' from people in real life. girly music nawww. in summary, no cringe factor

I don't think any ochestral music will work. Its just not enough hype. I want something modern and sound well on top of the video instead of the background.

Here's two that I'm considering:

i think too many lyrics

if u do the video beforehand, following any rhythm u can make up in your head, and u gimme some time i can make the music myself to match the video

^ for what rob said. it is true about lyric thing. i think that is why most of theese type of videos use game soundtracks
the ff series/Guiltygear/blazblu/tekken/ are very popularr

Are you guys serial, i think u guys are thinking inside a small box here. it dont matter if theres lyrics or not man, the music just gotta be good with the right compo to fit the footage.

like I said, music without dialogue is just gunna be background music, unless its some amazing soundtrack.


Anyways, since u guys like background music so much, ima just make two seperate videos.

1: rainbows x Evades - it just gunna be background music like u guys like and just show ppl the combo footage. those footage were too long for a game trailer anyways.

2: Visions of Lunia - it just include stagexpvp i guess. quick clips

no the thing is a lot of people are very particular about the type of lyrics or even someones voice in music, which makes the difference between them leaving the sound on or muting it

those kind of ppl are just nerds. u gotta open it up to everyone even ppl that don't play video games.

In america anyways, what kind of music do you think ppl listen to on the radio? music without lyrics? I don't think so man... ALBIet, there are some sweet music that goes without lyrics but the ones with lyrics can be just as good imo

particular likes are with particular people and particular people are a minority. anyways, good thing i have two videos just to be safe.

[derangedcow]

thats the point; only a particular type of people will like the music. no lyrics is more general and could satisfy a larger audience

that means a lot of people only like a certain type lyrics or even someones voice in music
to be particular about something is to have a specific preference for something. i realize barely anybody uses the word "particular" in that way, but i've been watching the show "Flipping Out" a lottt and he has OCD so hes always saying that he's very particular about this and that

Well then, I don't know but I think people have a general interest in epic music (like trailer music and what not). The company that leads in trailer music is Immediate Music, which has a lot of good stuff, focusing on orchestral only or accompanied by chorus.

For those who would like to consider some with lyrics, Globus is a project that Immediate Music came up with, where they put lyrics to some of their songs (some are REALLY nice by the way). If you're particular about lyrics, most of them are spoken in Latin, so it can not be understood by the general public per se (they do have a couple of English songs). Here's some videos, hope you like them; the first batch is Globus (focused on lyrics and chorus), the following is Immediate Music (focused mostly on orchestra, with little chorus if any). If it's not what you're looking for, tell me, I may have some songs more related to what you're looking for (Epic sometimes is a bit too epic lol).

***SIDE NOTE: Immediate Music has a whole library of music (most are short though, no more than three minutes usually, although possible stacking for a vid?). Globus is relatively new, so doesn't have nearly as many (only one album so far?)

Globus - Preliator (sung in Latin, and one of my personal favorites)



Globus - Sarabande Suite (chose this because I think you mentioned you had a pretty long video of Cow and Matt, and this is 7+ minutes)



Globus - Orchard of Mines (pertains to what is known as the cinematic rock genre, a mix of English lyrics with Italian chorus; also I chose the live version since I prefer it live lol)



Globus - Mighty Rivers Run (a lot more calmer, the lyrics are quite emotional too, possibly too much? I prefer the live version with Lisbeth Scott a lot more, but this is all I could find)



Immediate Music - Serenata (Orchard of Mines was based off of this song)



Immediate Music - Liberty Shield



Immediate Music - Fahrenheit
