    Happy Halloween Season. I noticed the pumpkins and ghosts are back at Drippy's!

I just finished a spooky/horror soundscape/track for the 'Halloween Nightmares Horror game Zine' issue #2. It's a zine that comes with a horror-themed tabletop game.

If tabletop gaming is your thing, check out their store.. Pretty neat stuff. https://store.cave-evil.com/collections/board-games
Whenever I do one of these ambient kind of tracks I always think back to the atmosphere in the original Halflife. The sound design of the game changed everything IMO!

Happy Halloween!

    I really really like it. I find it soothing. What do you use to compose it.

    Welcome back to land, Gaba. Youve been gone a while, I thought your ship sank. :P

Thanks. It's a soundscape more than anything...something to play in the background while playing the game.

I used my Novation Bass Station II analog synth, a Novation MiniNova for other synth sounds, some home-recorded samples, and some samples I purchased over the years. I remixed the sound effects samples and bent the pitch and slowed them down, as well as adding some other effects (reverb, delay). The DAW I used is an outdated version Adobe Audition. I could've used Reaper but it wasn't necessary for this stuff. It probably took 4-5 hours total.

    Thank you sir. Something like 114 days. We actually did have a couple "all hands on deck" emergency situations. One was heavy flooding when an overboard pipe snapped after unsecured equipment in the machine shop came loose and banged into it after taking a heavy roll. Another was due to gross incompetence after the engineer on watch, cocky know it all, forgot to disengaged a pneumatic shaft brake before going underway. The friction caused the grease in the fittings to catch fire and the engine room smoked up. Never been more afraid in my life.

I've dabbled with audacity and fruity loops but am unfamiliar with the software tools you've mentioned. My mom is a Portuguese immigrant and expert classical guitarist so I've always had access to nylon string guitars growing up. Beautiful instrument. I'm thinking of buying a new one and recording and editing some tunes and posting to YouTube.

The player "gize" also is a talented musician but am unaware if he visits the forums or has posted his work.

If you're ever in the area you're welcome to come over and shoot assault rifles at trees and bully high schoolers with me.

Stayed in Oporto for a couple of weeks last year. Fell in love with the city. Had the best lamb shank of my life and some of the best wines.

    Hi Trooper. I'm not. I've been in bands that have sang about that stuff, yes.
