Background Music/Battle Music

[Kanissey]

Hey Makers,

i have an little question. What music do the most rpg makers use? Do they make music themselves with programs? Or do they search the music from the internet? Or do they have an person that makes the music for them?

waiting Kanissey

I'm not planning to make a commercial game anytime soon, so I just search the internet. Plenty of resources that can be used for free if you look hard enough.

I use resources found both on this forum (or bought) and on the internet. For example jukedeck makes some nice melodies (although a very small portion of them is actually usable due to repetitiveness in certain fields).

@Jules98 @Poryg
So the most music is from the internet, thanks

I'd wait a moment before jumping to that conclusion - especially as most devs know that what you can find casually on the internet may have big copyright problems. They might be "free for commercial use", for example, because they're actually rips.

I know a lot of people buy the music packs from here, use the free tracks and perhaps commission one or 2 tracks e.g. for the title screen and the final boss battle.

Yeah, you are right. But for example Kevin Macleod has huge loads of original music, then there are several composers here with free for commercial music. My last source would be the market, but I have lots of problems with the music on rmweb's market being generic and actually unusable even for the purpose they are supposed to be for.
My last source is RTP, but I don't use that too much, because I'm fed up of listening to RTP.
