Title: My first song in I don't know how long- Wayfaring Stranger
Post by: Coboly_Jones on December 27, 2008, 20:56:21

http://www.stalwartarmor.com/cb-wfs-v1.xm
or for those of you without mod players
http://www.stalwartarmor.com/cb-wfs-v1.exe
or

EDIT- I've attached the file to this post due to FTP problems.

About 55 seconds, still needs the sitar drone in the background and a cello, but this is what I have so far. "Wayfaring Stranger" is an old hymn-type song I heard in female acapella once. Thought since it felt eastern to redo it in such a manner. Will end up being 2:30 and six channels if all goes well.

Should be a day or two and this'll be my first in... well... 11 years?

Made in Milky, an adequade crutch until I find the rest of my old 386 SX/33mhz beast for some FT209.

excuse me, but why is this a .exe file?

I found a program that made xm's into exe's. I just got into the habit of copying that address from my FTP to my friends on AIM with no mod players of their own. Will get on changing it right away.


EDIT - Ok, I posted the XM's address exactly as it appeared in my ftp program. I don't know why it downloads for me as an invalid module.  I'll figure this out soon. Sorry!

i guess you mean XM-EXE by un4seen. Note that you don't really have to / should do this in a mod community where everyone most likely has a proper mod player anyway.

Besides that, the track is a bit soft and dull. But please, 342KB for this sound?!

I already posted that I pasted the link to the exe out of habit from earlier that day.
The file size is because there are two unused instruments.
I've since changed them, used them and started getting it more complicated at around 30s. Will post when I can get back on.
