Unleashing the Soundscape: My City of Heroes Custom Music Extravaganza!


Recommended Posts

Hello fellow City of Heroes enthusiasts! 🌟 I've been tinkering away, crafting some custom-made tunes inspired by the heroic adventures of Paragon City.

 

You may have already seen several other songs I have made that I posted in-game General and other chat channels / Discords.

FAQ SECTION

  • Q-1: How often will new songs be released?
    • A: The initial plan is to release them about every 1-2 weeks, this will depend on interest and feedback of the music.
  • Q-2: How do you decide what style/genre to use?
    • A: I base this on the subject matter and the result of the lyrics I end up creating.  If it is something that sounds fitting, say in a movie or in a video game theme song, I initially go with that.  Otherwise, I will do it as I feel inspired by feedback from people listening to the music.  Sometimes I will solicit what peoples favorite genres are or what they think the music of a section of the game would be if they had it.
      • I wouldn't be opposed to creating a series of genre specific songs for the game, mainly depends on feedback and what people end up liking! 🤘
  • Q-3: How did you make these?
    • A: About 25-30% AI help, the rest is my creation. (see below for more details)  

 


(Q-3 details)

Quote

 

Some may think that the creativity doesn't exist due to just getting the AI to create it.

Trust me this isn't the case, I would say it is maybe 25-30% AI and the rest is my creation of the content.

  • Music = AI
  • Voice = AI
  • Lyrics = <40% AI to fill in some lines, >60% me
  • Song structure (Content, Breaks, Style, Genre, Flow, Voice creation, Verse and Chorus Composition) = 100% me

Hope this doesn't turn you off the music and it is enjoyable for what it is as I created it for the love of the game and to express my love for music and creativity in this realm.

 

 

Cheers!

A.I. is pretty fun. I used it to make a short song for my work presentation lol.

 

Good work on the lyrics etc. I have never been a fan of the speed metal sound but I appreciate the creativity!

..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.

Just some suggestions I would like to see:  

 

Giant monsters themes, maybe not all of them but a couple of the usual ones could be fun.

Event themes, and Halloween is coming. So much potential there but maybe something christmassy for the Winter Event if Halloween is too soon.

The Summer Blockbuster is just begging for a pair of songs, one for each half... a theme for Time Gladiator and another for The Casino Heist.

 

Great stuff all around, though.  Looking forward to more whatever you do.
