Music and SFX

Hi everyone!

So today, I’m gonna talk about something that I havent really covered; Music and Sound Effects (SFX). And I’m going to start by saying this; yes, I am using licenced Music. I haven’t got the skills or the time to create my own, so I invested in some appropriate music.

As I use RMMV via STEAM, that’s where I happen to get all of my assets from, music included. I generally wait for a STEAM Sale (which happen every few months) before buying anything though. Although I do need to use pre-made music, I’m not paying silly money for it. Actually, I already owned everything other than the last one on the list below.

Now, I’m using FOUR seperate Music and SFX packs, although three of them are interconnected. Here’s the list of what asset packs I got, as well as where I got them from:

• 8-Bit Perfect Collection (https://store.steampowered.com/app/631500/RPG_Maker_MV__8bit_Perfect_Collection/)
• Retro Fantasy Music Pack – Vol.1 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/947741/RPG_Maker_MV__Retro_Fantasy_Music_Pack/)
• Retro Fantasy Music Pack – Vol.2 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/979464/RPG_Maker_MV__Retro_Fantasy_Music_Pack_Vol_2/)
• Retro Fantasy Music Pack – Vol.3 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1051434/RPG_Maker_MV__Retro_Fantasy_Music_Pack_Vol_3/)

As to who made them, the 8-Bit Perfect Collection was made by Moppy Sounds, and was DESIGNED to work with the Time Fantasy assets, as the pack also comes with an exclusive Spritesheet in that style. The Retro Fantasy Music Packs were all made by Joel Stuedler, and the reason I’m using them is that the 8-Bit Collection doesn’t have any Music Effects, which could be classified as Sound Bites. They’re generally played when the player sleeps at an inn, or wins a fight. They’re quite handy for making scenes that little bit more epic.

Anyhow, that’s enough of that. If you like, you can check out all of the music I’m using via the links, as well as Soundcloud. So I’ll see you later!
