Where can I get music for my game? I've tried producing

pay someone

Where, how much, who is good?

>>73595645
Make some ads on Craigslist or something. Say you're looking for a musician to score the game. Once you find someone, discuss how much that person wants and try to haggle with them.
Never try to "pay someone in exposure." You can't pay bills with exposure, and you're only going to insult them or piss them off.

That's about it.

Just steal music because no one will give enough of a shit about your game to bother taking legal action against you.

Any idea on how much of 20-30 minutes of passable electronic music would cost? I'm doing this all on a shoestring budget as a side project. I've made everything from the game engine to the character models myself, but I'm not very good at producing music.

$250 if you're dirt poor, $500 if you're cheap but you want them to put some effort into it, $700 to unlock the ability to be picky and bossy, $1,000 if you want a 10/10 soundtrack and expect nothing less

but seeing how you've done everything yourself except the music, then just $500 for the soundtrack should probably do.

OP, making ambient minimalist music is super easy and very suitable for video games. Think of the soundtrack for a game like Monument Valley or NightSky. Literally all you have to do is turn the attack all the way up so that every note sort of swells up, turn the release down so it releases slowly as well, then play random white keys for 8 minutes. You can literally just ad-lib for as long as you want, and do it for free. Hell, you can even do it on a tablet, if you want.

The result will sound somewhat like this, sans vocals.

Couldn't you just take a midi of some Tchaikovsky or Liszt or Debussy and use a cool 80s soundfont?

Awesome, that's encouraging. Thank you!

I'm not sure that would be appropriate for the gameplay though. It's a very fast paced online multiplayer action game, albeit a minimalist one.

That's an interesting thought. You don't think it would be too reconizeable? It would be strange shooting things to the distorted tune of Fur Elise.

The works of any composer dead more than 70 years (all the good ones) are in the public domain therefore anyone can use them for any reason, provided you aren't using a copyrighted recording.
Why wouldn't you shoot things to Für Elise?

ayo op i'm a producer with nothing to do want me to take a crack at this? give me some more details about what you want like what location a track should be in, what enemies you're fighting/what boss you're fighting, i'll make something and try it out

I know that it's public domain, but it would just feel sort of cheesy, wouldn't it?

It's a pure multiplayer game so there isn't any set pacing, although I was toying with the idea of dynamic music where different audio channels of the song would fade in and out depending on what the player is doing. I'm more or less done with the game engine, so now I'm getting started on the art. I'm more in the concept music phase since I want to have it as a reference early on so all of the art really meshes well together. Overall it would be nice to imitate the musical feel of the songs in the OP.

You control these high speed remote operated hover tanks and shoot each other. The premise is that it's a future spectator sport sort of like F1 today, where players can heavily customize their own vehicles and compete against each other.

Webm related is a shitty tech demo I recorded a while back. My recording software is shit so it's super laggy, though.

It's intended as a spiritual successor to this game called Sodium One from eight years ago:

You act like NIN didn't release GHOST for production use.

Toby Keith is like that now, but his earlier work is actually some pretty good songwriting.

I feel like I'm always defending country and yelling at alt right people these days. Fucking bizzaro times we live in.
