| I have an idea for how we could create a soundtrack; instead of using whole, premade music tracks, we have a bunch of smaller tracks that are randomly, but constantly played.
This would help keep the music fresh sounding(if we wanted to mix it up, we could just add a few more of the small tracks), and music could be adapted by changing the weighted chance of certain tracks.
Issues could include making the tracks go together well, but one fairly popular game already does exactly this and it works very well. | |

| Yea... Just have random combinations, and a few set and full tracks for certain situations, like killing an assualt ship or something. | |

I'd like to see some HEEEAVILY weighted Artem Bank in there. | |

| Spore had an extreme version of this. It sounded very spacy. | |

I found the music from Spore... too calming for our tastes. We need more awesomeness. | |

| Definently, but the music should be random, 10 or so second tracks mixed together. | |

I'd say 30 seconds to a minute. | |

| Nah.
But how do we get the feel? I mean, if I want to be an evil empire, how do I play evil music?
Obviously, our music must be impartial.
Tempo can speed up as combat occurs.
So, it is up to us. How random should the music be? I mean, fully procedural music might be kinda cool, and it would use much less data. The downside is it can sound dumb. | |

| Fully procedural, or 10 second things mushed together? | |
