Aksark Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Morning Gents, Just sitting here listening to Beethoven's 9th. And pondering the possibility of this game having a "Music Tuner" of sorts. Once this game is more in its "sandbox" stages. Sailing the mighty and vast sea's will take some time I imagine. So how nice would it be to have some periodic music to cruise too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 This is something that would likely be better served by using a personal MP3 program (iTunes, WinAmp, what have you) while playing the game. Getting rights to the music, etc. and reinventing the wheel should, in my opinion, be very low on the priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuelPepys Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I appreciate there´s someone (at least) who enjoys listening to "Ludwig Van" (Alex) instead of Death Metal while cruising the seas. It always puzzled me to read about other fellows´ music taste when flying Hurricanes over 1940s England and I agree that period music is essential for "immersion". Why not open a WebRadio channel while playing NavalAction? I was happy to see that it didn´t result in lower framerates (= this game is sooo good)!

Destraex Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I have seen games that have their own MP3 controls in game. People loved that but honestly it's prolly easier just to have an MP3 player in the background. P.S. I am now listening to Beethoven's 9th YOU PUT ME UP TO IT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The 9th is overplayed, the 7th is where it's at in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuelPepys Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 If you´re not anti-Napoleonic you could go for the 3rd ("Eroica") as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blokzeil1 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think what the best is for the game, use classic music, a big list of it and let it play, like anno 1602 you got nice classic music no special things. Ships and classic music will be very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 vivaldi, tchaikovsky(spelling?), franz liszt, Carl Maria von Weber(Freischütz opera) the list goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksark Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 The 9th is overplayed, the 7th is where it's at in my opinion. 9th is overplayed for good reason. You're right though. His 7th is also very good, and has by far my favorite Beethoven song of all - II, Allegretto in A majorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MiQf6i_zoc To be honest, I'm looking forward to sailing in Naval Action with this playing in the back round!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePfeil Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I like that Allegretto very much (though I'm kinda overfed with it atm, since it is part of the War Thunder soundtrack ^^). Listening to Bach, Cello Suite No.1 now and then when playing NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Balboa aka Ronda Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 As for me, Beethoven is a bit too much. Here are my suggestions: Mozart - Divertimenti for strings and wind; Serenades, dances, marches for orchestra Haydn - String Quartets (mostly 1&4 parts) Bach - Orchestral suites, Brandenburg Concertos Boccherini - Cello concertos (mostly 1&3 parts) Handel - Orchestral suites (Wassermusik etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebooter Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Inigo Balboa, You have it exactly right there sir! I would also add Christopher Bach to that list as he was better known than his father in the 18th Century. I would also add Thomas Arne for his "Rule Britannia" and William Boyce for his "Heart of Oak". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebooter Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 You are quite correct, I was getting confused. There were a couple of Johann Christoph Bachs plus a Christian. I would put money on them all being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to Bach, Cello Suite No.1 now and then when playing NA. Nice one! Actually had this melody play at my wedding. Wife picked it out, another reason why I married her! Anyways, thanks for the memories that I now connect to this very song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neith Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Music is very hard to make right due to diverse taste. Also it is very low on the priority list. Still no plans for background and battle music ? When different music should play: - in port - on the sea - when storm is coming - when battle is beginning - in the middle battle time (low-level sound) - when our ship is almost destroyed In my opinion music give much more experience while playing.

Azzak Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Music is very hard to make right due to diverse taste. Also it is very low on the priority list. If I may have any suggestion regarding music (whenever you will want to do it) is to get inspiration from Sea Dogs ost, it had the perfect naval feeling and all players loved it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlEA-NUpfxQ Edited February 19, 2016 by Azzak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
