Game music, what do you use?

[BrandyStarbrite]

I also use Lmms.
It can make sound effects and orchestral game music too.

If you’re using Lmms and you’re trying to create, chiptune type game sounds…
Or, old school Nes, Snes, Sega game sounds and effects: these Lmms plugins
Nescaline, sfxr, bit invader and freeboy are your best friends.

Hi everyone. Just wondering what programs do you guys use for your games music/ sound effects?
I need someone to recommend me a good (free) music making program to create music and sound effects to use in my games.
Previously I used this online music making site called Aviary roc. some of you might be familiar with it. Thats what I used for to make all of the music and game sound effects such as picking up items, etc in all my game projects up until now because the site recently announced that they are now officially offline. So now I need to look for an alternative program or else all of my games will be silent from now on. Recently I downloaded a program called Magix music maker because I heard it was really good and free (however it turned out that its actually not free you only get a 7 day trial) so that didnt work out. Looks like I’m starting to ramble.

Anyway, what are some good programs for game music and which ones do you guys/gals use?

Well if you cant to make some good sound effects fro video games I recommend you install garageband on your PC and use it. Garageband is a versatile music composing app and will definitely help you out

I know this thread is old but if you’re looking for a program for making retro style video game music, then I recommend OrgMaker

Music Tools

It was used to make the music for “cave story.”

It takes some practice to make good sounding music though. For practice, I like to listen to music and then recreate it in OrgMaker.

But that won’t help much with writing music.

If you’re running macOS, I recommend using “wine bottler” to make a Mac version.

Hello everyone! i’m a new unity user! I was about to create my own Fan-game, which will be ‘Super Yoshi Odyssey’ when I discovered this (what better time to discover a game creating website, right?). Anyway, i’m so glad to meet you all, and I may come back to this forum later, when i’m in the music/sound effect process of creating my game. It was nice to meet you, and i’ll see you later!

I am using Ableton Live. You can try it for 30 day. If that is over you can go trial Cubase, Propellerhead Reason, Bitwig Studio, FL Studio, etc. Some allows full trial for limited time, some allows unlimited trial but cannot save. The unlimited trial ones (such as FL Studio) is perfect for creating sound effects since a project save is probably not required. Also usually you can use the highest tier when on trial. You will have everything to experiment with.

I’ve been making music for at least 16 years. I prefer Sony Acid Pro.

ok thx for telling every body and me bcs i really need a music program i have one day left to make a game in unity and i need music now

Since before I started game development I already had a few years of music production behind me I am very versed in FL Studio, it’s definitely professional grade and the free trial lets you experiment a lot, you just can’t save projects (you can save but you can’t open projects). I’d definitely recommend shelling out the 190€ for a lifetime license with free updates, but only if doing this is something you can actually see yourself doing seriously
