It Begins After Silence
Composed and Arranged by Nebularia
This one is probably my best attempt in
creating orchestral sound so far - I actually
understood what I did. Additionally, I think I
finally made both a good starting and ending. And
I used quite a bit of time for designing
generally.
So, I decided to show you the CPU-guzzling
techniques I use. :) This tune uses *really* many
channels and I recommend you have at least 130
channels available. Otherwise you might want to
use the disk writer device.
Also, PLEASE avoid using external IT players
with this module! The only external IT player
that produces an acceptable output is XMPlay,
although it's not perfect, either. These are the
players I've tested:
- XMPlay 1.7 (almost correct)
- ModPlug Player 1.43 (slightly annoying)
- Winamp 2.65 with Nullsoft Module Decoder 1.3
(very annoying)
Although XMPlay does the job pretty well, I
recommend that you stick with Impulse Tracker
2.14p5.
I squeezed the file size of this module about
65% of the original! I hope I managed to retain
decent sound quality. Some sample associations
may seem a little weird in the instruments
because I removed some samples of the multisample
instruments.
-------------------------------
I would like to dedicate this piece to the
memory of my cousin Mikael Warvas. Warm thanks
for the inspiration you gave me! Bye for now...
