It seems like you’re too dead set on thinking of yourself as a “non-musician”. If you want to make games, and you want to make the music for them yourself, it can’t hurt to pick up a DAW and learn some basic music theory. Just like any other aspect of game development (art, programming, story, etc.) if you want to do it yourself, you need to learn the requisite skills. If that’s not an option, you could always find someone to make some music for you, or use stock music, or use an existing tool to randomly generate some for you.","spam":"N"}],"epoch":1437383940,"likes":1,"metadata":{"p_key":"17150","p_author":"rustybunny","p_authorkey":"0","p_urlkey":"52450","p_title":"Easy ways to making music for games","p_cat":"Global Game Jam","p_event":"LD32","p_time":"1437383940","p_likes":"1","p_comments":"6","p_status":"UPD5","us_key":null,"us_name":null,"us_username":null,"event_start":"1429228800","event_key":"27","event_name":"LD32"},"text":"

just a curious thought. what do most of us use for making game music?<\/p>\n

ableton? flstudio? anyone use browser based apps?<\/p>\n

if i were to make 1 with prebuilt chords and other fancy gimmicks(for browser use) that helps creating music faster\/better without any knowledge on theory at all(from what i can tell, most software still requires u to choose each key just to make a chord) would you be interested? basically you just need to click on a few different chord buttons and listen to see if you like it, then an arpeggiator to run through those selected notes(so you wont get a dissonant) for some inspiration. some of us might know what i’m talking about, some don’t.<\/p>\n

i think those that has no idea how to make music at all(or doesn’t own an expensive software) would benefit? has this been made already? if so let me know in the comments.<\/p>\n

like if you think you want it. just so i know.<\/p>","time":"July 20th, 2015 4:19 am","title":"Easy ways to making music for games"}
