Title: Music Preferences
Post by: khade on July 19, 2016, 03:46:12 am: I'm wondering what music people prefer to pirate to.

I've decided that unfortunately Alestorm didn't quite fit and Finntroll somehow does, and the standard drone music of X-Com is slightly inappropriate but still fits.

This is the key to setting up your own music. The thing that made the most difference for me was making sure my sound levels were balanced accross all the tracks I used. I often put 2 or 3 songs together in Geoscape or Battlescape mixes to avoid endless repetition. I used Audacity for working with my sound files, and encoding them to similar volume levels, and 44.1 KHz sample rate.

Really a masterpiece! He made also one for TFTD (founded anywhere on the forum) but does not work with enemy unknown, sadly :(

Right now I'm rocking the Halloween theme song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amZQdMtjNA8) during a night mansion mission as my Gals stalk about the premises, butchering everyone with ghost knives (we totally need a Scream ghost/Myers outfit).
