Hello, developers. My name is Andrew Riley, composer and sound designer for Lucky Lion Studios - http://LuckyLionStudios.com , a newly launched game audio service.
As a special promotion for the studio's launch, each song in the library is currently just $5.
If you're looking for custom music or sound design, I can work with most styles - just fill out the website's custom audio form and I'll get back to you with an estimate.
I can answer any additional questions here or through the contact form on my website. Thanks!
If I wasn't broke at the moment I'd purchase a few of these for sure. If I had money to blow I'd snag them all at $5, aha. I love the simplicity and straightforwardness of your agreements.
I'll definitely bookmark your site for future reference. Thanks
My game would need about 10 songs to have an all original sound track.
01. intro
02. forest
03. desert
04. snow
05. cave
06. boss
07. secret level
08. slopes
09. achievement screen
10. last master
How much would something like this cost?
Generally speaking, for those wondering about custom audio costs, the rates vary depending on song length and the license type you require (exclusive vs. non-exclusive). Exclusive songs are more expensive (though still reasonable), since the ability to resell music is what helps me to keep the prices so low in my library. It's also good to let me know if you have a specific budget you need to work within so I can try my best to accommodate you.
The game I'm working on currently is pretty short and not as polished as I'd like. Right now I'm hoping with practice and Photoshop I can develope games worthy of purchase. When that time comes I'll definitely keep LuckyLionStudios in mind.
For the songs that require MIDI, I use Sibelius, Finale or another sheet music notation program.
For digital instruments, I use a variety of VSTi's such as EastWest Quantum Leap Colossus, LA Scoring Strings and many others.
I then use ProTools to record, mix and master each song. It's a fairly long process, and most of the software/hardware is expensive, but there are always much cheaper alternatives that can still produce good results.
To be honest, I'd be searching for something exactly like this in maybe 6 months to a year. I'm working on a fairly large scope indie project, and I've taken to doing virtually everything myself, and I was afraid I'd have to look into learning better music writing skills once it gets to that point. But I'll keep an eye on this
