SFX Template
​

Musical Type:
Theme:
Description:
Feel:
Length:
Unwanted Sounds(Optional):
File Format (wav, ogg, mp3):
Referrer (Optional):
​

 Explanations: (Musical Type) would be Orchestral or Electronic or Chiptune, etc. (Theme) would be Heartbreak, Sadness, Victory, Intense Battle, etc. (Feel [for sound fx]) would be "light", "airy", "heavy", "metallic", etc.
 
Shining Example(s)
​

Musical Type: Orchestral
​

Theme: Creepy, intense
​

 
​

Description: Slightly swampy forest, only a little light filtering down through the heavy canopy of trees. Ground squelchy underfoot. Sometimes your footstep releases small pockets of noxious smelling gas. Vines trail down and brush your head - at least, you hope they are only vines. It's warm and humid, but you get cold shivers as shifting lights seem to change shadows into something more solid, and then back again. When you pause you can feel the forest waiting - but for what? Or for whom? It's holding its breath - why? Sad little rivulets break through the ground, only to seep back in again within a few feet. Moss envelopes tree stumps. No birds, no insects, no animals, just the trees waiting for you to enter their embrace.
​

Max length: 1:00, or thereabouts.
​

Loop? (Yes/No): Yes
​

Unwanted Sounds: n/a
​

File Format: Ogg
​

Referrer (Optional):
​

Musical Type: Main Theme, Sad, emotional, depressing, orchestral
​

Description/Scene: Appearance scrolls through different playable characters and locations with rain in the background.The theme should reflect the game, which deals heavily with loss. The land is in the worst condition it's been in centuries and all the heroes have failed.
​

I want the song to feel powerful and hit the player right in the feels so that every time they come back to the game it gets them.
​

I can't really describe how I want it to sound so I'm going to list emotions should be mixed in. Hopeless as if there's nothing you can do as if there is a constant pressure in your chest. Grief, loss everywhere and nothing you can do about it. (I'm sorry if this description sucks I'm not the best at describing things)
​

Instruments: Acoustic Guitar
​

Unwanted Instrument: Anything sci-fi
​

Max Length: 2:30-3 min (Note: This was during a promotional event, you can still only get 1-minute songs.)
​

Crikey, for my first request I wasn't expecting something so hard. Do you have any reference music I could use? I'm having a hard time finding something for it.

- Duke

 

[Bonkers]

Sure thing:  

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors  



MASK  




Let me know if you need anything else.

 

[Bernkastelwitch]

Still providing requests? I got an idea for a short song that I'd like to see made.

 

[Archduke]

Of course, I've only just opened! Haha

- Duke

 

[Bernkastelwitch]

Just making sure because I have suggestion.

[b]Musical Type[/b]: Can't really describe.
[b]Theme[/b]: Cheery , Almost Silly, Music for a cutscene
[b]Description[/b]: A Cutscene song for silly or happy scenes.
[b]Instruments (Optional)[/b]: Flute, Sax, drums, Piano if possible
[b]Unwanted Instruments (Optional)[b]: Guitar
[b]Max Length (Optional)[/b]: 
[b]Limited to wanted instruments?[/b]: No. 
[b]Loop?[/b]: Optional

Reference for the style here: 






Will this help? It sounds like a lot but it is if you can do it.

The first request was awesome! Thanks again so much!!!

Here's a new request:

Name of Song: ~A Vengeful Spirit~
Musical Type: Orchestral
Theme: Fear, Terror, Run Away, Escape, Nowhere to Run, Dark, Japanese Horror,
Description: Japanese, Terrifying, Horrifying, Fear, Escape, (A wonderful example would be this song:



[Fatal Frame IV OST Battle E])
Instruments (Optional): Piano (There are other instruments used in the example song, but I don't think I would be able to recognize them. Piano doesn't have to be the only one. If you can mimic the sounds in the example song with different/similar/correct instruments, that would be wonderful. )
Unwanted Instruments (Optional): Drums, Snare, Bass.
Max Length (Optional): 1 minute.
Loop?: Yes.Extra notes: The theme of this song is that in the game, the main character is being chased by a vengeful spirit and the theme of the song is as if there is no escape and fear begins to overcome the character.

 

[Archduke]

Apologies for the wait, guys. Life's been getting in the way, but I just wanted to assure you that I am working on your requests.

Cheers,

Duke

 

[Tornado Samurai]

It's fine. Many unprecedented events happen in almost everyone's life. Hope everything is going great for you.

 

[Archduke]

WOW! Amazing! Another epic job, Archduke! Thanks so much for this! I really enjoy how this track is composed in the sense of being chased in a place of terror with no escape! You've done a wonderful job once more! I can really see this track in my game! I really love this track! Thanks so much, Archduke!

[Bernkastelwitch]

Well hey, it's as cheery as I expected. I like it.

Sorry if it's not as amazing as the example you gave me, cheerful tracks are surprisingly hard, haha. I'm glad you like it anyways, though!

You have a tag for SFX, so I would like to request a sound effect.  Your template doesn't really cater for that, so I've had to be a bit 'creative' with it.  The information doesn't quite fit into the format, so I've done my best.

Music Type : Sound Effect for a skill animation

Theme : Revive/Resurrection 

Description : Rising tone, not the harsh/sharp-edged tone of the default SE used (Saint7).  I would like it fading out at the end
Instruments : Your choice.  
Unwanted Instruments : Anything that sounds whoop/whoosh
Max Length  : About 2 seconds, maybe a little less.  You could take as a guide the length of the default SE for Revive, it's animation #42

Limited to wanted instruments?  Not applicable

Loop?  No

Thank you

It just gets better! Thanks again for the well-crafted and well-orchestrated track, Archduke! I really appreciate this! Once more you have captured the entire scope of what I asked for! Over these past few weeks, I have very much enjoyed requesting from your workshop as it is very much worth the wait for hearing the creative works of art you orchestrate! Thanks so much for this new song as I can definitely see it in my game and I absolutely cannot wait to hear what the next song will be like!

Thanks so much for taking my requests,

- Tornado Samurai.
