>>69487098
Damn that looks pretty cool I'll check it out.

>>69487210
It's more folk than dungeon synth honestly, but it's a brilliant combination of the two. Apparently Erang worked on it, so you know it's going to be brilliant.

How do I make better dungeon synth? I feel like this isn't synthy enough, but I'm better at guitar so I had to throw it in there.

>>69488391

>>69489394
seriously, do you really think people in 2016 besides your family and friends are just going to pay money for the great privilege of hearing your masterpiece?
if you want to get any kind of following then you need to make your shit free and put it everywhere, that's how it works now
on bandcamp use name your price

>>69489394
no one is going to pay $5 for an only pretty good album from a totally unknown ds artist who hasn't released any other work yet.

>>69490741

Yeah, but who would like someone who makes dungeon synth and then puts a price tag on it? It's a super niche bedroom genre that literally anyone can make, can't we just enjoy that for what it is without trying to turn everything into a product? If you want to make dungeon synth, make dungeon synth. It's just silly to expect to make any income off of this.

>>69488391
This is a cool idea that's poorly executed. That guitar sounds like Captain Beefheart or something.

Tolkien synth > Tolkien metal
>with some exceptions

>>69492898
I don't really know how to talk about theory but maybe use phrases that aren't so bluesy? Something that sounds more epic with either more distortion or echo, sounds too dry and boring. Not sure about the synth. It sounds fine but its nothing special. But I'm also a sucker for guitar so that's just what stood out for me.

What is your dungeon synth moniker /dsd/?

>>69488391
don't play live instruments if you are going for dungeon synth unless you are going for something innovative. and what the fuck was with the blues rock guitar solo I almost feel as if you are trying to troll with that

>>69494507
I've been getting more into MM lately, I used to find the low fidelity off putting but now I think it's very palatable. MM -> DG -> NF is their best run of albums imo.

what are some medieval instruments used in DS?

flute, trumpet, kettledrum, harpsichord, harp, vocal samples, violins?

Daggerfall has a pretty great DS soundtrack

>>69494433
The guitar solo was for a little bit of fun

Yeah dorian seems to be the go to mode when composing dungeon synth.

>>69494702
I've been meaning to get into Daggerfall for a while. Seems fun, but OSRS has taken up most of my free time as of lately, which also has an incredible DS soundtrack.

>>69495456
Is the point of Runescape basically just to level up skills forever?

>>69495823
pretty much

>>69495823
A lot of people who play, seem to do it purely just to be as good as possible and not waste time when training their skills. Which is fine, since Runescape is a huge game with tons of stuff to do. Personally, though I find the quests to be tons of fun and really enjoyable, with or without a guide. There is a lot more too Runescape than just the "grind" part of it, but even training skills is usually fun unless it's something tiring like runecrafting or agility.

How long should my dungeon synth album be?

>>69496359
For a ds album, usually around 28-35 minutes is good by my estimation.

>>69496422

Thanks man

>>69496437
ds eps typically run from around 10-20 minutes, albums usually around 25-40, however that period inbetween 20-25 is a bit of a grey area, and just around 25 is still a bit iffy. Plus 40 minutes is usually way too long for dungeon synth, I'd say a bit beyond 25 and at max 35 minutes is really safe. The most important aspect is if the music is good though, don't forget that. Doesn't matter what length it is if it sucks lol.

>>69494377
That would be telling. I was making dungeon synth before it was called dungeon synth. I would like to release new stuff, but I am unsure of whether or not I should make my previous identity known.

There is little psychic connection between this current music and the best known of my old names, as the ritual nature is entirely different. I feel like if I made my old name known, it would be 'selling out' to get attention for new shit.

How does /dsd/ feel about this?

>>69494672
Bodhran, zither, psalter, darbouka, sitar. Also, since it is synthesized/sampled, I have always enjoyed the sound of dwarf-sex (hammer on an anvil).

>>69497141

It is difficult as hell to be recognised for any music, let alone dungeon synth. Make your old name known.

>>69497141
were you a famous ds maker? You don't have to give your identity, I just want to know if we have a celeb in our threads. I only think it would be selling out if you're making music for money rather than for the sake of art.

>>69497218
I'm not famous, not a celeb. I'm a massive faggot, so I like to think of myself as 'kvlt'. I ran a black metal tape label out of my parents basement and dorm room from the mid 90s to early 2000s, had some releases on other labels.

I reckon my previous identity will come to light eventually. I'm just torn on mentioning it from the get go, which feels like 'selling out'.

>>69497189
Part of me feels like I'm just trying to do shit the hard way, part of me feels like the past is a dead and buried secret known only to those who can read the signs.

None of this involves synths, it involves sampling and lots of pitch-shifting and effects, so technically it's industrial/wagnerwave but I feel it fits the atmosphere quite well.

Because second wave DS is getting more and more experimental.

by "psalter" did you mean psaltery anon?

I'm working on some dungeon synth and incorporating some bowed psaltery, which is why I ask. Also,

>dwarf-sex

>>69497141
why not release some new stuff without making your identity known at the start? if at some point it feels necessary to do so, then go for it

>>69487098
anyone have some good lo-fi piano-oriented dungeon synth? I'm pretty new to the genre and remember really liking some stuff like that another time I checked one of these threads. also, is there such a thing as drone dungeon synth?

>>69502047
Yes, there is drone DS. Check out Erdstall and Abandoned Places.

>>69502047
Lamentation Fullmoon Over Faerhaaven has all your piano needs.

>Dungeon Synth threads outliving the Black Metal threads

what dimension is this

>>69501715
yeah thats definitely what he meant.

other than the timpani and tambourine/bells what procussion can I use?

>>69503663
Very little if you want to make even remotely traditional DS.

>>69488391
this is wacky but I kind of dig it. those little solos are very out of place though

>>69503751
I think I rather use some than none at all

something like what lord lovidicus does

sounds mostly like what I said plus some kind of crash symbol

It would be cool to try some military sounding DS with a kettle drum and snare is what I was thinking on doing

>>69505906
Actually I'm hesitating a lot about something: I'm simultaneously working on a martial industrial album (without vocals), and on a VBM album, and I'm really not sure which album I should put that song in.

what do you think?

>>69506134
why not just make another similar track but make it more martially with drumming or industrial synth noises or something. Its pretty quick to make those kinds of tracks, you can pretty much just record something cool and then stretch it out 8 minutes

when is wikipedia going to get a Dungeon Synth article. It still lists it as dark ambient and industrial

What are good things to sample in a dungeon synth song?

>>69505677

That's pretty tenuous m8, and even then Japan is a completely different place since WWII. He probably sees modern Jap culture as a disgusting invasion of Western commercialism (which it is desu).

Daggerfall is great. Fantastic for actual roleplaying since you can just do whatever you want and be any kind of character.

Cheers. I have been curious for a time on how to implement metal songwriting without metal instruments. So I couldn't resist using a tremolo effect, which ended up being more drone-y than expected.

>>69519563
>Fantastic for actual roleplaying since you can just do whatever you want and be any kind of character.

Not trying to be /v/-ish at all, but how is that different from Oblivion or Skyrim? They both left the field open for making any type of character, from specific niches to demigod characters.

>>69521411
Guys, what are some good videogames you'd recommend for someone who loves the cliche dungeon vibes? I really dig Dark Souls but need something else.

>>69521496
Daggerfall
Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 (on sale right now on GOG)
Thief: The Dark Project kinda fits I guess

>>69521411

Because Oblivion/Skyrim tends to end up with you being the Master of All Things, eventually, and they're much, much smaller worlds that feel less realistic.

I'm glad this is a thing.

Here you can download the iso.

http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo/patches/pc/drtl109.exe
Here's the patch to get Diablo 1 up to the latest version.

https://diablopat.ch/download.php
And here's my preferred patch. Makes it click and playable on modern systems, with very, very minimal quality of life additions, and no content changes at all. Almost every other Diablo 1 patch I know of adds all sorts of bullshit. This one even lets you play online still. Doesn't have support for Hellfire, but Hellfire sucks anyway.

It's a fun ass game. Take is slow, and save super often. There's no auto-save, and dying just kicks you back to the last time you saved.

>>69523458
Damn thanks for this. Looks like I have something to do tonight :)

>>69523458
Thanks man. I've been looking for a way to play this on modern systems.

I wish Blizzard would just support it. But they'll probably look at the luke-warm reaction to their shitty Diablo 1 in Diablo 3 event and say "see lol no one likes this old shitty game"

>>69525802
I've gotten this complaint before and I don't understand it. I am employing melody, there is a pattern, it's not just random notes. Can you clarify?

>>69526192
You've actually got a pretty solid underlying rhythm but it feels like there is no main melody to use it. Something like a flute or something in the higher range to play variants of a motif.

>>69526344
basically you need to add another instrument to make it more interesting. What you wrote sounds solid to me at least but it feels more like a background accompaniment for another instrument that isn't there

>>69526344
Ah! Yes I'm using a pretty limited configuration right now but once I get an actual midi controller and maybe a better DAW then I want to place some nice arpeggiating synths over the mix. But yeah I fully agree

>>69526411
>>69526388
>>69526344
These dubs tho

Anyway yeah my first two DS demos I just mapped MIDI inputs to my laptop keys and it was kind of clumsy and awkward

>>69526018
Yes.

>>69525630

I'm going to go ahead and reinstall from this method and will let you know. I'm pretty sure this is my source from last time and it's safe, but I don't want people to get infected by some shit.

>>69525162

Do you have it installed in a directory that doesn't need administrator privileges?

Recording question:

I have a midi controller keyboard, but it lags behind pretty bad in Ableton. Are Windows' default audio drivers really absolutely unusable for music recording, or am I likely doing something wrong?

>>69526956
I'm guessing the latter?

ISO is legit. Installed fine.

>>69527319
If you're talking about the 1.09 patch failing, it needs to be in the same folder as your Diablo installation. My Diablo installation is in C:. I put the files for the DiabloPatchLoader and its dll in a separate folder within C:\\Diablo. Works fine.

isn't Dungeon synth just ambient?

>>69528270

dark ambient + the runescape soundtrack

limited to only synth sounds from 99 or earlier

What is the Dungeon Synth version of "kvlt"? Righteous? Pious?

>>69528986
it's just kvlt, but we're not as meme about it.

General question, what are some inexpensive/free programs to create dungeon synth in? I have a keyboard that I can record on but I have no program to put the recorded tracks in and organize them except for audacity, and I'm leaving for a month anyway and I want to create something before december ends. Fruity loops is 99 bucks and i got the demo and was massively confused, looked really fucking complicated.

Just ordered the Erdstall double CD set. I'll share pics when it arrives.

>>69530128
Surely you mean cassette

>>69530171
No, it's a CD set. Only physical media Erdstall has ever released iirc. 20 copies only.

>>69527608
no the other patch, the 2.0.1

cassette or bust

>>69530469
"Install directory does not exist" on the diablopatch loader

>>69530617
what am I supposed to put for "diablo 1 directory"?? It just doesn't work on my computer i guess

>>69530690
>>69530617
I have no cd rom to insert, despite its prompts

I was afraid Arathgoth was going to stick with that damn Black Metal he went on after Man With No Fate, thank god he's back to making DS, he was one of my favorite artists.

the second song Return With The Victory is one of the greatest things Ive heard in a while

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnxqKS8bn5g

>>69530781

Did you install the game via the ISO yet? You have to use a virtual drive like Virtual CloneDrive to mount it, and then run it and install.

>>69532920
>go to pirate bay
>no a single torrent for fl available, the one good looking one is dead
t-thanks

Could I at least record individually tracks on my keyboard and then put them into audacity and make it sound good, or is that a terrible idea?

>>69533226
its a lo fi genre, it would work. I find it works best when it's almost computer sounding playing though. There are some really retro music programs you can get for free. I forget what they are called though

>>69533032
My idea isn't necessarily Christmas themed, but the abominable snow monster and two headed ice dragon, or snow miser. Basically the coldest/most kvlt parts.>>69533079

dungeon synth is nice but it's way better when you have something to read that goes over well with it.

Unfortunately most fantasy novels, RPG manuals or books about medieval stuff lack the solemn tone of dungeon synth

sometimes I feel like I should create a somewhat surreal fake pen&paper RPG book just to have something nice to read while listening to DS

you know a bit like Broken System but more consistent and with more lore.

>>69535896
Temple Forest actually has the least 'lo-fi' packaging. The others have shit written on them and are obviously random old tapes recorded over and the labels torn off. I'll post some pics when I get home later if there's a thread up.

I imagine many of the poor buggers living in those times preferred jolly songs, wouldn't you rather enjoy some escapism rather than dwell on your miserable life.

That said, try John Dowland, Gregorian chants or Orthodox Liturgical hymns for those feels.

>bm last month
Welcome to the ride friend. Been on it for 3 years now, have listened to like 600 bm albums, I can safely say there's no other music like it. DS is a whole other animal though, I've only been on that train since May with that first thread about Cadecus. Also amazing, I love how there isn't really an established canon outside like 2 or 3 artists, so it's totally fine to just browse bandcamp and youtube and share cool shit with others without people going "lol what a pleb". Also the lack of meme cancer helps. Super comfy fandom desu.
