How To Make Indie Game Music (Using Free Plugins Only)
How to make indie game music. Learn how to make music for video games including tips and techniques during the entire soundtrack. From arrangement and automation to melodies and basslines, this video game music tutorial will teach you how to make music for indie games. In this video I'll be making music for video games in FL Studio but you can use any other DAW or music production software host.
BREAKDOWN OF JARGON / CONCEPTS:
Octave: On a piano, there are 12 notes ranging from A to G (including black notes). Every repetition of this is an octave and is either higher or lower in pitch than the ones next to it.
Transient: This is a short spike in a sound that can be the kick of a drum of the snap of a snare.
Phasing Issues (when talking about transients): When you have two transients overlap, it can cause issues with how audible it is, as they can cancel each other out or make them less of an impact.
Effect plugins: If you want to learn about what everything means in specific audio effects, I made a playlist covering the fundamentals of effect plugins: • Effect Plugin Fundamentals
I hope this clears some stuff up that I talked about in the video that might have been too advanced for you. No shame in not knowing! - It's my fault for not explaining.

God is great! It may be hard to believe when you don't, I came from the same place. It took me a while to understand and accept God. But when I did, it changed my life more than I could have imagined and I hope yours will be changed too.
