It

Begins

After

Silence

Composed

and

Arranged

by

Nebularia

This

one

is

probably

my

best

attempt

in

creating

orchestral

sound

so

far

-

I

actually

understood

what

I

did.

Additionally,

I

think

I

finally

made

both

a

good

starting

and

ending.

And

I

used

quite

a

bit

of

time

for

designing

generally.

So,

I

decided

to

show

you

the

CPU-guzzling

techniques

I

use.

:)

This

tune

uses

*really*

many

channels

and

I

recommend

you

have

at

least

130

channels

available.

Otherwise

you

might

want

to

use

the

disk

writer

device.

Also,

PLEASE

avoid

using

external

IT

players

with

this

module!

The

only

external

IT

player

that

produces

an

acceptable

output

is

XMPlay,

although

it's

not

perfect,

either.

These

are

the

players

I've

tested:

-

XMPlay

1.7

(almost

correct)

-

ModPlug

Player

1.43

(slightly

annoying)

-

Winamp

2.65

with

Nullsoft

Module

Decoder

1.3

(very

annoying)

Although

XMPlay

does

the

job

pretty

well,

I

recommend

that

you

stick

with

Impulse

Tracker

2.14p5.

I

squeezed

the

file

size

of

this

module

about

65%

of

the

original!

I

hope

I

managed

to

retain

decent

sound

quality.

Some

sample

associations

may

seem

a

little

weird

in

the

instruments

because

I

removed

some

samples

of

the

multisample

instruments.

-------------------------------

I

would

like

to

dedicate

this

piece

to

the

memory

of

my

cousin

Mikael

Warvas.

Warm

thanks

for

the

inspiration

you

gave

me!

Bye

for

now...
