I looked it up, I guess I was wrong, the guy who made the ambience sounds in Spyro 2 wasn't credited, while Beveridge only helped Copeland write the music for Spyro 3.

Wow Ryan was in Spyro 2? Wonder why he suddenly got a much bigger role in the 3rd game? Really should've stuck to the ambiance like in the 2nd game, though.

I think the extra composer (Ryan Beveridge, I believe) credited just does those retro new age hipster sounds that Copeland uses in the homeworlds of Spyro 2.

I remember EtD having some fantastic music. One of the few good things about that game.

As for the Spyro 3 music, there was another composer besides Copeland credited. Always kind of blamed that guy for the music not being as good (although he was in Spyro 2 as well if I remember right.)

I wholly agree, though I'd rate ETD music over YOTD. That games music was pretty bland. IMO

It's a good thing I had a look around the forum as I was going to make a thread about this video.

Anyway, Copeland made a really great job composing the soundtrack for Spyro. The soundtrack is one of the things that I love about the series and is one of my favourite videogame soundtrack of all time.

Ah yeah. I'm on Soundclick. Haven't added anything to there in ages though. I may start to again. I'm also on Dance-Industries.com

Sign up onto Newgrounds or Soundclick. Sites like Ocremix and others that specialize in video game music are full of people and judges that expect top-of-the-notch stuff immediately.

I haven't used FL Studio yet, but pretty much everyone else who makes music seem to. I use Reason 2.5.

Lol I did that once. Back in 2004 when I just started learning. I was using Music 2000 on PC which doesn't give good quality on song saves. Luckilly I was able to import some M2K samples into the software I use now (FL Studios 5 & 7). I got a really negative review on my first remix I submitted to VGMix.com back in 2004. I submitted a second one after that and got better feedback, but I haven't released anything there since. I considered signing up a few days ago to VGMix X, a revamped version of the site brand new for 2008. But a lot of the community are somewhat discriminating in the sense that you have to sound good to even be liked. There are a few people I know there who are nice, but just a warning that it's hard to find them amoungst the litter of sadists.

I hope to make some kind of remix, but it's gonna take a long time before I relearn all the music composition stuff I did years ago. I don't want to embarass myself by releasing a crappy or generic song. Not until I'm decent at least.

Spyro 1 especially! I really wanna make a Trance remix of Magic Crafters. I've got the idea going around in my head. It could work well. If only I knew more about those d*** plugins! lol

While I was playing what I could of Spyro 3, I noticed some very catchy tunes in the levels. Spooky Swamp had a nice drum rhythm lol

Stuwarts Genius. Ive always loved his spyro compositions, fits it perfectly.

Ive just got ETD, playing through it, i quite like it in alot of ways too, despite the annoying things.

I really need to play ETD again. Regardless of it being buggy, easy and short, I really liked the game.
